She will be the new vice president of original programming at ABC Family. To say that Kelly's tenure at GSN was controversial would be a ginormous understatement. She was often slammed by more traditionalist fans for supposedly dragging the network away from its game show heritage. Truth to tell, GSN has tried to get away from its heritage a zillion times, mainly to chase younger demos. Sure enough, Kelly's successor at GSN, Amy Davis, recently talked about more reality shows on the network.
Anyway, I'm happy that Kelly landed on her feet. Don't like to see anybody lose their job, and her departure from GSN could not have been pleasant. The linked story credits her for American Bible Challenge and Baggage, though success always has a thousand fathers (or mothers). I have a feeling that a certain commenter on this blog will be less than thrilled at the news of Kelly's new job, though.
