==Biography==
Kelly started in an act called ''Nine Crazy Kids'', then started performing comic monologues.〔 When he was performing this stand-up comedy in the 1930s, he fluffed a joke so that it came out as nonsense: this got a good laugh so he made such double-talk the focus of his act and became especially known for this.
On TV, Kelly was featured among others in ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' (then ''Toast of the Town'', in 1949, 1961, 1962) and the game show ''Back That Fact'' (1953). He was also an actor with supporting roles, such as in the film ''Singing in the Dark'' (1956) and in the TV series ''Mack & Myer for Hire'' (1963).
Kelly died at age 69〔 in the early hours of 7 September 1966 of a heart attack〔"Al Kelly Is Dead; Famed Comedian; Double-Talk Expert Was in Show Business 52 Years", in ''The New York Times'', 7 September 1966, (first paragraph of pay article ): "Al Kelly, double-talking comedian, died early this morning after suffering a heart attack at the Friars Club. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Roosevelt Hospital."〕 while sitting in the audience in the dining room at one of his favorite venues, The Friars' Club, during a roast. On 8 September 1966, a crowded memorial service was conducted at Riverside Memorial Chapel (Amsterdam Avenue and 76th Street), New York City.
