Early years
Kelly was born in Panama City, Panama, and raised in Port Jefferson Station, New York. In 1987, he graduated from Comsewogue High School. In his book, I Hate Everyone, Except You, Kelly recounts portions of his upbringing and childhood. In 1991, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications; he was president of Boston College's University Chorale. Kelly always wanted to be a novelist but was afraid of "being broken" if he became a writer. From the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in 1993, he opted to pursue a master's degree in journalism, specializing in magazine publishing. Medill's training was one of the reasons he was able to transition seamlessly into magazine editing - and eventually television. He likens the editorial mindset of editing a magazine to be very similar to that of a television show.
Personal life
Kelly is married to Damon Bayles, a psychologist. They were married in 2009 at their Connecticut home. Mary, Jack Russell's terrier, is a rescue dog and a focus of many of his social media messages. He divides his time between Manhattan, Connecticut, and Miami Beach.
Career
Kelly worked as a freelance writer and editor at several newspapers in New York before joining What Not to Wear. Kelly wrote on a variety of topics, including health, travel, and relationships. Kelly began his fashion career as an editor at Marie Claire and as a deputy editor at Mademoiselle, where he appeared under the pseudonym "Joe L'Amour." He later became the executive editor of the DNR, a New York-based weekly men's fashion and retail trade publication. As a columnist and style expert, he now contributes to Women's Day.
Although Kelly was at DNR, the original male lead was recast and approached Kelly. Kelly was chosen as the new co-host after three auditions, along with Stacy London. "A brother and sister in the backseat of a long ride," he has described their friendship as "a brother and sister in the backseat of a car. The aim was to help participants refresh their wardrobes and make them look and feel better. Despite the fact that makeover shows typically focus on the participant's final appearance, this display showcased the internal transformation and optimism gained during the makeover process. Kelly asked contributors if their clothes made them feel glamorous, and the overwhelming majority of contributors denied it. Kelly spoke at the show's ultimate point: it was to the show's benefit:
“Having a style is a great way to get what you want from your life.” You feel empowered when your style is aligned with who you are.
Kelly is openly gay, but the Washington Blade observed some major differences when comparing What Not to Wear with Queer Eye, which pioneered gay rights for those looking for fashion assistance: "U]neer Eyes—which pioneered gay supremacy over people seen as needing style guidance—does to provide fashion guidance—but there are some key differences." There isn't much 'gay' to the show, and he doesn't really talk about it on air. Viewers believe Kelly's advice was based on his choices rather than on the 'he's gay and he should know' fashion theory.
The show had over 350 participants, many of whom Kelly is still in touch with, as well as those who had undergone the makeovers. Kelly said, "I was helping women," she said about the show's impact on these contributors, who kept Kelly engaged for so long: "The only reason I was able to do it for ten years was because I knew I was helping women." "It wasn't just about the clothes; I felt I could keep supporting people through this."
In 2011, Kelly became the moderator of the ABC daytime show The Chew. Kelly was chosen for The Chew after reading his book, "Freakin' Fabulous: How to Dress, Speak, Drink, Entertain, Decorate, and Generally Be Better Than Everyone Else," which revealed that he and his co-stars were evident, and that he began the production in 2011. The show was based on the co-hosts' chemistry and featured food and lifestyle topics. When not on television, Kelly's hobbies and daily life were more accurate, as it addressed food, entertaining, and lifestyle topics. It lasted seven seasons as a staple in ABC's weekday lineup. Kelly received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host with his co-hosts on The Chew in 2015. Kelly talked about the show's positive energy and mission to have fun: "People are tuning in because they are having fun while we're inventing them to make stuff." Kelly maintains close friendships with Michael Symon and Carla Hall.
Kelly appeared in the fifth season of the Food Network's seasonal cooking competition show, the Spring Baking Championships, in 2019. The 2020 season's filming has already began. The show is made up of eight one-hour episodes and in which ten bakers vie for the ultimate grand prize of $25,000 and the title of Champion. Nine gingerbread artists produce demonstrations to impress the judges for the ultimate award and a feature in Food Network Magazine, and Kelly hosts the Haunted Gingerbread Showdown for the Food Network. He has also appeared on other Food Network shows where his passions in lifestyle, entertaining, and food are relying on.
He has also hinted that he is working on a new show in the home space.
He published his memoirs in 2017 as part of a collection of essays entitled "I Hate Everyone, Except You." Kelly outlined his memoirs: This book was about finally allowing myself to meet the people who watched me on television for the past 15 or so years. It's basically a way of me saying, "I know that you have an idea of who I am and, to a degree, you're correct, but that isn't necessarily who I am." I'm just a regular guy with the ability to work on television. And I've had all the same strange experiences and embarrassments that you've had in your life as well. This is a way for me to express myself in a world obsessed with oversharing in today's culture.
