My guest is The Carol Burnett of Christian Comedy Kay DeKalb Smith
Manage episode 430615844 series 2886911
From the Movie Unsung Heroes. The story of For King & Country. In real life, Kay was one of the neighbors that helped the Smallbones when they first arrived to Nashville.
In a colorful bathrobe, fuzzy slippers and a wig with curlers, Kay DeKalb Smith hits the platform with a coffee pot in one hand and New Testament in the other. This peppy redhead wins audience chuckles with stories of chasing her daughters with a fly swatter, her dislike of cooking (“My family always knows when dinner is ready because the smoke alarm goes off!”), and the trials of hormonal ups and downs. She sings about balancing the checkbook, hot flashes and God’s love. She has been called by a pastor the “Carol Burnett of Christian Entertainment.”
