He starred in the popular RTÉ children's programme ''Wanderly Wagon'' alongside Eugene Lambert and Nora O'Mahoney from 1968–1982, playing a number of different characters and writing many of the scripts. It was Kelly's work on ''Hall's Pictorial Weekly'' (1970–1982) which established him as one of Ireland's most recognisable faces. He memorably portrayed councillor Parnell Mooney, a send-up of a backwoods Local Authority figure in rural Ireland. Kelly won a Jacob's Award in 1974 for his work on the series. In the early 1980s, he was featured in the RTÉ TV show for those learning Irish ''Anois is Aris'', at the end of the programme, speaking into a telephone, gradually introducing Irish phrases.〔(Learning Irish with "Anois is Aris."
