Continuing His Comedy Tour Momentum

In a nostalgic post, he thanked Will Smith for giving him his “big break” two decades ago, likely referring to his role in the 2005 film “Hitch” where he starred alongside Smith.
“Wow, this week marks 20 years! Thanks for the big break, Big Will!!” James wrote, tagging Smith in the post. This milestone highlights how James has maintained his relevance in comedy across both television, film, and stand-up performances for over two decades.

Kevin James rose to prominence with his lead role as Doug Heffernan on the CBS sitcom “The King of Queens” (1998–2007), for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. Before achieving television fame, James began his career as a stand-up comedian, performing at venues on Long Island before gaining exposure on various talk shows.
After “The King of Queens” concluded, James transitioned successfully to film roles, starring in comedies like “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” “Grown Ups,” and “Here Comes the Boom.” Despite his success in television and film, James has maintained his connection to stand-up comedy throughout his career, regularly touring with new material.
