04.01.2023 - 11:47 / deadline.com
Stand-up comic and television personality Kelly Monteith, who was one of the first American comedians to have their own BBC show, has died. The news was announced by The Anglophile Channel, a Los Angeles production company with which he collaborated. No cause of death was cited; Monteith was 80.
The comedian made frequent guest appearances on U.S. talk shows in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The Merv Griffin Show, The Mike Douglas Show and The Late Show with David Letterman. In 1976, he hosted The Kelly Monteith Show on CBS and later led the network’s hidden camera prank series, The Hit Squad. He also appeared on The Love Boat, Hollywood Squares and New Love, American Style.
He became popular in the UK after several spots on The Des O’Connor Show which led to him getting his own self-titled sitcom/sketch series on the BBC. Kelly Monteith ran from 1979-1984 and was co-written with Neil Shand. In 1983, he took part in the Royal Variety Performance, performing for Queen Elizabeth II.
For The Anglophile Channel, which is dedicated to British culture and entertainment, Monteith co-hosted Brit Flix with Kelly, Paul and Two-Buck Chuck from 2014-2020 and Kelly Monteith’s BBC Memories from 2019-2000. The latter was a look back his groundbreaking BBC series.
In 2015, he and Paul Boland received the National Arts and Entertainment Journalism Award for Best Television Anchor/Host from the Los Angeles Press Club.
According to BBC News, Jay Leno once described Monteith as a comedian who was “always extremely clever, extremely funny. One of the benchmarks. For those of us of a certain generation, Kelly was the guy.”
We miss you so much, Kelly. We will always love you. Rest In Peace.❤️

‘You People’ Review: Eddie Murphy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jonah Hill Lead Kenya Barris’ Hysterically Funny & Smart Feature Debut
In a nutshell the brilliantly hilarious, pertinent, and wickedly smart new movie, You People is in some ways a new age Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, that landmark 1967 Tracy-Hepburn-Poitier Oscar winning comedy about the effect an interracial relationship has on the parents of the young couple. Of course back then it was a major social issue and even had trouble booking some southern theatres. The idea was switched in a Bernie Mac/Ashton Kutcher 2005 remake that all those years later did not have the same impact. With anti-semitism and racism back on the rise in 2023 America however the concept of an interracial/interfaith marriage, Black and White, Jew and Muslim, could not be more timely or needed, and in co-star Jonah Hill’s and director Kenya Barris’ whipsmart screenplay is also a knock-you-out-of- your-seat laugh riot. Ironically I saw it this week at its World Premiere at the same Westwood Village theatre where I saw Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner all those years ago. With a packed house the laughter was so continuous and loud for You People it was hard to hear a lot of the lines. When was the last time that happened?

‘You People’ Trailer: Jonah Hill, Eddie Murphy & More Star In Kenya Barris’ New Multiracial Family Comedy
Best known for the television comedies “Black-ish,” “Grown-ish,” and “Mixed-ish,” writer, producer, director, and actor Kenya Barris has had a strong run looking at Black and multiracial families through a comedic lens. He’s done that on the big screen before with the modern version of “Cheaper by the Dozen,” but he really pluses the entire idea with his latest comedy, “You People,” which features an all-star cast for Netflix.
