While appearing on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast in May, Jost and Travis bonded over being the less famous halves of their respective relationships.When Travis asked how he felt about being part of the “plus one fraternity,” Jost called it a “huge relief.”“It’s really funny because I’m probably almost approached more because she’s less approachable,” he explained. “Because I’m on TV. I’m in their living room, so they’re just like, ‘Hey, what’s up, man? How’s it going?’”Jost doubled down on his plus-one status during an appearance on Today later that month. Asked about the benefits of being married to someone more famous, he joked, “Just low expectations. You know, like you can be like, ‘Hey, what’s up? I’m here too.’”
