      they also kinda recycled the stuff about ventilators in one episode when it keeps blowing wind to Doug, Deacon and Richie, but not to Spence. And he went crying like "I will end this friendship if you keep disrespecting me like this!!! ... ok, think about it while I'm eating another ice cream."

      Most sitcoms are written around the lead actor/comic -- in this case, Kevin sucked Ray Romano's dick really well. . . & the rest, as they say, is history, as yet another unfunny guy gets dozens of film contracts based on look & oral abilities more than anything else. . . Have you seen his breakthrough routine on Just For Laughs? (a big ol' gay ad to the tune of Back Street Boys' "Larger Than Life")

    • @emdaughtry2576

      He actually said it in his backyard at the grill and then told the same story (unsuccessfully) later at Carrie's law firm retreat in the mountains. I have seen him do that water skiing bit in several of his stand up routines. It is sad that he just can't come up with new material since 1995. ALL of his stand up jokes were recycled in the King of Queens. Since I am a KOQ addict, all of his stand up is unfortunately ruined for me, because KOQ recycled everything. (The oscillating fan bit was also on an earlier episode of KOQ).

      Well ya, there’s a reason Actors don’t get their own sitcom but standup comedians do. It’s how they create the scripts for their shows. Everyone from Cosby to Seinfeld, to Romano & Tim Allen; each show is based off a joke or a ‘bit’ from their stand up material.

    10 thumbs up for Kevin James later to be called Doug Heffernan...what a amazing comedian and actor he is...and on his show King of Queens him and Leah Remini acts just like they are truly married although in real life Remini is married to a man who appeared on several episodes of King of queens Angelo Pagán who’s also funny on the show...I hope they do what they’ve been doing to other shows called a reboot..the King Of Queens actors are still alive especially the great Jerry Stiller aka Arthur Spooner..I’d love to see Doug and Deacon (Victor L. Williams) back together again as best friends still working at IPS or maybe another driving company cause like Doug has said many times he only wants to drive....I love that show and in my opinion he has taken over the reigns of king of queens from Archie Bunker the late Carroll O’Conner rip Carroll and say hi to my mother...🙏🏻✝️😇

    On King of Queens, Doug actually told the water skiing story in his backyard at the grill and then told the same story (unsuccessfully) later at Carrie's law firm retreat in the mountains. I have seen him do that water skiing bit in several of his stand up routines. It is sad that he just can't come up with new material since 1995. ALL of his stand up jokes were recycled in the King of Queens. Trust me: I have seen every episode of KOQ at least 200 times. I have seen all of his stand up routines. Since I am a KOQ addict, all of his stand up is unfortunately ruined for me, because KOQ recycled everything. (The oscillating fan bit was also on an earlier episode of KOQ).
