Your Friend,

"Shotgun Tom" Kelly has been entertaining Southern California radio and TV audiences for 40 years, most of that work originating from San Diego. He has been behind the microphone at such renowned radio stations as KGB (in its Boss Radio days) and gained national acclaim at the legendary KCBQ. "Shotgun Tom" was honored at B-100 radio (KFMB-FM) with the Billboard magazine Air Personality of the Year Award for Major Markets in the mid-70's. He also received two Emmy Awards for his performance as host of the McGraw-Hill syndicated TV children's word game show Words-a-Poppin'. For twelve years, "Shotgun Tom" Kelly was host of KUSI-TV's morning and afternoon children's programs. In 1997 after a nationwide talent search, "Shotgun Tom" was chosen by CBS Radio's K-EARTH 101/Los Angeles to fill the coveted afternoon drive slot after the death of The Real Don Steele. In 2000, he won Radio and Records "Oldies Air Personality of the Year," competing for that honor with radio personalities in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit. Today in addition to being heard daily on K-EARTH 101, "Shotgun Tom's" voice is heard around the country in commercials and voice overs for many other stations. He's also the co-host of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telehon in Los Angeles on KCAL 9 TV and has been the announcer for the Fox Network Television show America's Most Wanted. In 2007, "Shotgun Tom" was heard as the radio announcer in the movie Deja Vu with Denzel Washington.
