Cavill, who is British, shared that his Chiefs fandom dates back to his days as the Man of Steel on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

“I’m a Chiefs fan, yes,” he told Kimmel in 2019. “Of course I spend a lot of time here and watched American football. I started to like the sport and I realized that I had to pick a team. And I could only pick a team with something that would never change,” he continued.

“The one thing that will never change in my life is the Superman aspect. And I was like, Superman is from Kansas… the people of Kansas support the Chiefs, it all added up.”

Gardner was able to accommodate not one, but two Chiefs shout-outs on the January 28, 2023 episode of “SNL.” In the end of their performance On “Weekend Update” she shouted “Go Chiefs” several times. Then, during the bedtime portion of the show, Gardner wore a bright red dress Decorated with the Chiefs logo.

Back in September 2022, Gardner said on an episode of Bill Simmons’ podcast that she would like Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce to host “SNL” as a duo.

“It’s like my biggest dream, and I wish they would do a Mahomes/Kelce co-host because I think Travis Kelce is really hilarious, super charismatic, and he would just balance out the Mahomes part, which maybe a little more reserved or nervous,” she said. “I think they would make a great doubles duo.”

The “Modern Family” star grew up in Kansas City, Kansas and attended Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, which made him a lifelong Chiefs fan.
