Sketchy Things Everyone Just Ignores About Kevin James

Thanks to his role on the popular CBS sitcom The King of Queens, Kevin James earned a reputation in Hollywood as the "everyman" actor. He's known as a clean comedian who doesn't use profanity or provocative material in his stand-up - but he's also had his fair share of controversy. Here are some of the sketchy things fans seem to ignore about Kevin James. James returned to CBS in 2016 with a new sitcom called Kevin Can Wait. While it made a strong debut, it didn't go over too well with critics. New York magazine called it flat-out "terrible and unimaginative." Others couldn't help but notice its similarity to The King of Queens, particularly after James' TV wife, actress Erinn Hayes, was killed off, and his former King of Queens TV spouse, actress Leah Remini, was welcomed aboard. Shortly after it debuted, CBS ordered a full season - but things went sideways when showrunner Bruce Helford allegedly quit over "creative differences with James," according to Deadline. The news was shocking, considering Helford had previously worked with notorious Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen on Anger Management and still managed to take that show all the way to syndication.
