On September 29, 2019, it was announced by the Astros that they had extended Kalas’ contract through the end of the 2021 season, along with that of his TV-broadcasting sidekick, color-man Geoff Blum.

Kalas married Michele Allen on Turks and Caicos on November 15, 2017. They reside in Houston.

On December 22, 2016 Kalas was hired to be the Houston Astros' television play-by-play announcer on AT&T SportsNet Southwest, beginning with the 2017 season.

After his father Harry's death on April 13, 2009, Todd, along with his younger brothers Brad and Kane, threw out the first pitch at the first home game in Philadelphia four days later. Todd's ball was thrown to former Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt, who, like Todd’s father, is also in the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame.

In 1998, Kalas joined the Rays' broadcasting team for their inaugural season and continued with the organization until 2016.

In 1988, Kalas graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in broadcast journalism. He moved to Tampa Bay as sports director at Vision Cable in Clearwater. He began his baseball career in 1991 with the Louisville Redbirds.

Todd Harry Kalas (born December 31, 1965) is an American sportscaster, employed since 2017 as a television play-by-play announcer for Houston Astros baseball. He is the oldest son of the late longtime Philadelphia Phillies Hall of Fame and Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas.
