by Peace A

Published October 5, 2023

Kevin James

Kevin James is famous for his character as Doug Hefferman in the 2000s hit sitcom The King of Queens. The comedian received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor for his work in the CBS series. He went on to produce and write his own movies, after which he stepped out of the spotlight.

Recently, a meme from the series went viral on social media, causing fans to ask where Kevin is. Unlike most assumptions, Kevin is still in show business but as a standup comedian. He has been on the road in the past year for his The Irregardless Tour around the US, including the Stifel Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri last week.

A few days back, Kevin celebrated the 25th anniversary of the sitcom’s premiere with an Instagram post. “25 years ago today, we aired. I am so incredibly blessed to have taken this ride with the insanely talented @leahremini and Jerry Stiller,” he wrote. “I love you both so much… and thank you to the GREATEST FANS in the world.”
