Travis Kelce gets joined by Marvel star Paul Rudd on New Heights
During the episode, Jason and Travis Kelce introduced Rudd with enthusiasm, talking about his extensive filmography. “Our guest today is an actor, producer, and screenwriter from the University of Kansas. Rock Chalk J-Hop. You know him from Knocked Up, This Is 40, I Love You, Man, Anchorman, Parks and Rec, White Hot American Summer, and his upcoming movie, Anaconda. Jason continued, “He’s the guy who made Ant-Man cool, a diehard Chiefs fan… 2021 Sexiest Man Alive, and the first ever guest on New Heights. That’s right. Please welcome back Mr. Paul Rudd!”
The Anchorman alum also shared his excitement about reuniting on the show, recalling a past birthday surprise and a heartfelt moment about their dads. He laughed as he remembered, saying they went from joking around to tearing up while talking about their fathers. “It’s good to be back with you guys. My God… we were laughing and then we started talking about our dads, and we just wound up crying. That’s exactly what happened. Aren’t dads the best?” Rudd said.
Paul Rudd isn’t new to New Heights. He was actually one of the podcast’s very first guests and even appeared back in 2022 to surprise Travis for his birthday. Over time, he’s become one of the most loved guests on the show.
Rudd was on the show to talk about his latest flick, Anaconda, which stars Jack Black, Daniela Melchior, Selton Mello, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, and more. The movie is one of the year’s most anticipated releases, mostly because it flips the classic animal-horror genre on its head, turning the terror of giant snakes into laugh-out-loud comedy.
