On ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ host Jimmy Fallon asked ‘Morning Joe’ host Willie Geist, “I was going to ask you about news headlines and see what your take is. Nothing too crazy. How about what everyone is talking about, Travis and Tay-Tay?”
Geist was quick to respond to Fallon, “You joke, but it is what everyone is talking about. I cover the news every day. What's going on with Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy and Congress and all that. Yet, when on my phone it pops up, I'm like, "Babe, Travis Kelce's jersey sales are up 400%.”
Geist continued as he presented his theory about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, “But I don't know exactly what's going on. I do have a little of a theory, I hope it's not controversial. I'm happy for both of them, they seem like great people.”
The ‘Morning Joe’ host continued, “Is there any chance that this is all one big Capital One commercial? In other words, are we going to go through weeks of this, and at the end, they turn to the camera and say, What's in your wallet?”
When Fallon expressed that he thinks their relationship is “real,” Geist added, “I hope it is. I think it is.”
‘Morning Joe’ hosts weigh in
As the clip of Willie Geist’s appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ ‘Morning Joe’ host Joe Scarborough was the first to respond.
Scarborough said, “I'm telling ya. Willie, maybe. Maybe, who knows? The NFL is defending its focus on Taylor and Travis, and I think Katty Kay is all for it like everybody is all for it. We want to see Taylor!”
To this, the guest panelist, Katty Kay responded, “What’s the downside?” and Scarborough agreed, “I see no downside to this whatsoever.” The hosts also briefly discussed the NFL defending their coverage of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
