Cause Im onSNL, Im like a D-list celebrity and I wouldve been like, Im onSNL!

I know Lorne Michaels!

I went over there and I was like, This is a Super Bowl Champion!

He is doggone the greatest tight end in the doggone NFL!

I said everything he shouldve said.

I was like, Hes on my list, come on Travis!

Johnsons interference was a success, and also marked the origins of a beautiful friendship.

Whether Kelce wanted it to or not.

We became friends, like forceful friends, Johnson joked.

I was like, Youre gonna take pictures with me every time you see me.

Im gonna be heavily a part of your life.

Were having children together like you owe me for this party forever, bro.

The duo went on to work together when Kelce hostedSNLin March 2023.

Johnson previously discussed her friendship with the NFL star in the aftermath of hissurpriseSNLappearance in October.

The couple were later spotted at an after-party that Kelce, presumably, had no trouble getting into.

We just be chilling.

But they so cute.

They are very, very cute.

And he is a gentleman.

I told Taylor, Im like, Call me if he gets out of line.

Hes a good guy.

She added, Thats my boy.

Travis could look at me in the street and be like, PUNKIE.

I love seeing Travis, I wish he was there every week.
