‘SNL’ Heidi Gardener reveals special gesture she made for Travis Kelce

Saturday Night Live Heidi Gardener got candid about how she made sure Travis Kelce felt a little at home when he hosted the live sketch show.

The actress, 40, revealed during her appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna, that she bought the favourite snack for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34.

“I was very protective,” said Gardner, who is a Kansas City native. “I asked him questions, which also, as a sports fan, I’m just interested in, but I was like, ‘On game day, what do you eat?’ And he was like, ‘Uncrustables. I’m just pounding Uncrustables.’”

Garderner added that she went to the store and bought the snack for Kelce on show day.

“I was like, ‘I want this to feel as much like home as it can,’” she said.

Kelce, who is currently dating Taylor Swift, thanked Gardener as she recalled the conversation they had right before the sketch.

“He leaned over into me right before lights up on the scene, and he was like, ‘I’ve been eating the Uncrustables all day.’ And I was like, ‘Cool,’” said Gardner, who added that he ultimately “won SNL” and did “such a good job.”

Kelce had hosted the show back in March of this year.
