Meet Youth Pastor, Kel Mitchell
Kel Mitchell is a two-time Emmy Award–nominated actor, author, producer, comedian & youth pastor hailing from Chicago, Illinois. Currently Mitchell is executive producing and appearing in the new iteration of the beloved Nickelodeon series All That, bringing him full circle to the original award-winning show that was his big break. All That was Nickelodeon’s longest-running live-action series, with 171 episodes across ten seasons from 1994–2005. The franchise paved the way for a number of successful spin-offs, including Kenan & Kel, The Amanda Show, The Nick Cannon Show, and the feature-length film Good Burger, all of which cemented Mitchell’s impact on pop culture. Additionally, Mitchell is the host of the heartwarming TV series Tails of Valor, which looks at true stories of service animals working to change people’s lives and the host of the educational program Best Friends Furever, which reveals the true stories of dogs who are best pals not only with humans, but with a variety of different animal species. Both shows air on CBS Saturday mornings. He also starred as Double G, an impulsive and unpredictable billionaire rapper, on Game Shakers and currently serves as a co-host on MTV's Deliciousness, a spin-off of Ridiculousness that showcases various funny food-themed videos from the Internet.
Most recently, Mitchell released a 90 Day Devotional entitled, Blessed Mode: 90 Days to Level up your Faith, which debuted in the Top 25 Books in Christian Youth Ministry and his next book, Prank Day aimed for Kids and Tweens, is sure to keep them entertained and their imaginations ready to explore.
