I Love This Story About CBS Killing Kevin James's TV Wife and Casting Leah Remini in Her Place
LatestLast year CBS debuted a new series starring Kevin James as a gentle—if a little dumb—schlub who’s just trying to relax on Long Island with his family. Though that sounds a lot like the long-running CBS series King of Queens, there were myriad differences between the two shows: 1) Kevin James was a dopey deliveryman named Doug in King of Queens, and he’s a dopey cop named Kevin in Kevin Can Wait, 2) Kevin James lives in Queens in King of Queens, and he lives on Long Island in Kevin Can Wait, 3) Kevin James is married to a woman who’s too good for him (played by Leah Remini) in King of Queens, and is married to a woman who’s too good for him (played by Erinn Hayes) in Kevin Can Wait. See? Completely different.
