Jason and Travis Kelce may be among the NFL's biggest celebrities, but it doesn't appear they have reached the A-List outside of NFL circles yet.
Case in point, a painful puzzle-solving effort from three contestants on Monday's "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" episode when presented with a prompt about the Kelce brothers.
The clue for the puzzle was "Family" with "Travis and Jason Kelce" being the answer. However, while the trio of designer Christian Siriano and actresses Sarah Levy and Krysten Ritter managed to solve most of the puzzle, they struggled to finish it, something many NFL fans — or Taylor Swift enthusiasts — could have easily done.
Instead, Ritter had to keep spinning the wheel and guessing letters to complete the puzzle. She identified the names "Travis and Jason" but couldn't come up with "Kelce" off the top of her head, choosing to continue guessing letter by letter to solve the puzzle.

She wasn't alone. Siriano also revealed he was unaware of what the puzzle's answer might be even after Travis and Jason's names were both on the board.
"What is this word?" Siriano wondered aloud about "Kelce" before it was put on the board.
Eventually, Ritter guessed the final letter, which put the full phrase on the board. The "Breaking Bad" star then said "Travis and Jason Kelce" to win the round, though she mispronounced their last name.
"I don't know who they are," Ritter said, after host Pat Sajak said the answer would be accepted despite her mispronunciation.
These people had NO idea who Travis & Jason Kelce were 🤣

At least one of the three contestants knew who the Kelce brothers were. Levy quickly told Ritter that the duo were football players but confessed she only knew that for one reason.
"It's a Taylor Swift thing," she said. "Sadly, it's the only reason I know who [they are]."

As Levy and Sajak wondered how neither Siriano nor Ritter knew who the Kelce's were, Siriano clapped back with a comical response.
"I make clothes for a living," the fashion designer quipped.
The Kelce brothers will surely find humor in this situation. Neither has addressed it yet, but perhaps it will be a subject on their "New Heights" podcast.
