Finding the Voices That Shaped Kelly & Company 2:26

6 days ago2:26

2:26

Every great show starts with a spark of inspiration—and for Kelly and Company , that spark came from the incredible contributors who shaped its identity. In this heartfelt reflection, Kelly MacDonald takes us back to the early days of the show, when finding the right voices meant more than just asking—it meant encouraging, mentoring, and sometimes even convincing people of their own potential. One such voice was veterinarian Danielle Jongkind, who wasn’t sure if she belonged behind the mic. But after a single dry run, it was clear—she was a natural. From important pet health reminders (yes, including those ever-persistent ticks) to engaging discussions that balanced insight and fun, Danielle became an essential part of the Kelly and Company family. This is a tribute to the contributors who brought depth, longevity, and joy to the show. Fedora’s off to them—and as Kelly says, there’s always more to tell.

How Kelly & Company Was Built – The Road to Launch! 3:50

19 days ago3:50

3:50

In this second part of the Kelly & Company origin story, Kelly MacDonald takes us deeper into the decisions and challenges that shaped the show’s early days. Back in 2016 , AMI’s leadership, including John Melville and David Errington , saw an opportunity to build on the success of the morning show by launching a new afternoon program —and Kelly had a major decision to make. After years of balancing television work and radio aspirations , Kelly was given the chance to co-host full-time and help shape a brand-new show. But making the leap meant a complete career shift, a new daily commute, and stepping into the world of live talk radio —something he had never formally trained for. From initial brainstorming sessions with Kevin Philip-Apilé and Matt Agnew to defining the show’s focus on lifestyle, health, leisure, and entertainment , this episode walks through the building blocks that turned Kelly & Company from an idea into a reality on October 31, 2016 . With legendary guests like Jerry Howarth and John Rafferty kicking off the first episode, the show quickly took on a life of its own. In the next Vanity Card , Kelly will explore how Kelly & Company evolved into the show we know today and what it took to grow its foundation. Stay tuned! Find Kelly & Company on YouTube!
