Get in touch with Nan
Born and raised in south Mississippi, Nan Kelley got her gift of gab from her hair dresser mom and the many clients who always had the stories of life in small town Hattiesburg.
As the longtime host of the Top 20 Country Countdown on the former Scripps/Discovery-owned Great American Country Network (GAC), Nan was seen in over 60 million homes every week for over a decade. During her tenure, she interviewed many celebrities and notables- from legendary NASCAR king Richard Petty and Hollywood star Dennis Quaid, to Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts and the one and only Dolly Parton, even co-hosting with the country legend on her TV special Smoky Mountain Rise.
The former Miss Mississippi was also the host of the iconic Grand Ole Opry’s television show Opry Live for its entire run on GAC, sharing memorable moments like Charlie Daniels performing “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” or Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” with the television audience. She’s also hosted shows for the Fine Living Network, HGTV, and the Armed Forces Network.
