Omaha World-Herald columnist Mike Kelly will be honored tonight as the Omaha Press Club's 107th "Face on the Barroom Floor."
Kelly, who has worked at the newspaper since 1970, will be roasted by Dana Parsons, columnist for the Los Angeles Times; David Jacobson, chairman of Kutak Rock; Chris Nelson, design director for the World-Herald and executive producer of the Press Club Show; and Larry King, the World-Herald's executive editor. And - in a Press Club first - all four of Mike and Barb Kelly's children will roast their dad.
"My kids definitely intend to embarrass their father, which will be kind of a payback for the times I've embarrassed them over the years," Kelly said.
The kids - Laura, Kevin, Bridget and Nick - will tell "dumb Dad" jokes. Kevin will show a funny DVD he made about his father, called "The Entertainer."
Kelly's World-Herald colleague, reporter Steve Jordon, plans a "mini-Press Club Show," including songs by his wife, Helen, and Gail Graeve, and a video produced by John Prescott.
