Justin Sylvester knows how to have a good time when it comes to tuning into a football game. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the snacks tend to be tasty and the players have an eye-catching sense of style thanks to their uniforms. The TV and podcast host will be on hand for all the big moments during the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs on December 7 during Peacock’s Reality Hot Seat.
He’s co-hosting Peacock’s Reality Hot Seat alongside The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Heather Gay, Below Deck‘s Kate Chastain, and “Boston Rob” Mariano (The Traitors). Summer House‘s West Wilson also joins the broadcast as a sideline reporter in Kansas City.
The Daily Dish recently chatted with Justin (who will look familiar to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans), via email, and he spilled all about co-hosting the big event on Peacock and, of course, all things football.
