While Kelce may not have all the answers, the celebrities are there to lend a hand. He explains, “If a player gets stuck on a question, they can cheat off the celebrities.”

Funches’ help appears to fall on deaf ears as he tells a contestant, “You were like, I think it’s true. He thinks it’s true. False!”

The group, including Kelce, then break out in a jingle, singing the lyrics, “It could be true or it could be false.”

Later in the clip, the athlete is asked what he majored in college and he jokingly answers, “Criminal justice. If I’m gonna go to school, I might as well learn how to not go to jail.”
