Talk:Kevin James

Discussion
How about a picture?20:02, 27 December 2006 (UTC) maybe he likes nuts, i dont know :S Irish-Americans? Knipfing doesn't sound all that Irish a name. --Saforrest 23:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I know someone named "Knipfing" and he's Jewish, so I'm guessing Kevin is at least part Jewish as well. Jtpaladin 21:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Correction on my comment: The person to which I was referring spells his name differently but agrees that with me that Kevin's name is most likely of Jewish origin. Jtpaladin 15:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

A disambiguation page is necessary - there is a conservative talk show host named Kevin James - http://www.kabc.com/showdj.asp?DJID=17240 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.136.21 (talk • contribs) 00:12, July 21, 2006
 * Agreed, and done: Kevin James (disambiguation). --Elonka 00:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Is the comment on his weight accurate? 539 sounds absurdly high. --JayKay 06:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I just researched this more and it is indeed wrong. Other sites say 260 down to 220.  118kg is 260lbs.
 * The high #'s were due to vandalism upon further investigation. --JayKay 06:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry I missed the weight when I fixed that vandalism. Thanks for fixing it Leaderofearth 06:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Why is he so fat? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.160.242.106 (talk) 14:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Caricature? This caricature looks nothing like the real person. it should be removed ~ jackmass —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.116.209 (talk) 05:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

He couldn't have been born in '69 and graduate HS in '83. Someone want to check on that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.117.187 (talk) 02:57, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Knipfing could be German too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.153.204.26 (talk) 13:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Everybody Loves Raymond
Did he play the Doug character on Raymond as well? Here it says he did, but there is one episode where he plays "Kevin", I guess as himself or a character with the same name. Adam Bishop (talk) 07:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * He played both. His character was called 'Kevin' in the beginning of the show, and later was renamed 'Doug'. They were both writers for the paper. However, I believe that 'Doug', the writer, and 'Doug', Ray's golf buddy, are meant to be two different characters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.75.232.62 (talk) 20:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Place of birth?
Was James born in Mineola or Stony Brook? At the moment, the article says Stony Brook, but not all of the three references given in the article agree. The first says "born [...] in Mineola, NY, his family soon settled in Stony Brook, NY, ", the second says "b. 26 Apr 1965 Stony Brook, NY" and the third "in Mineola (some sources cite Stony Brook)". --Kam Solusar (talk) 12:36, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Indeed: These two WP:RS cites each give a different place of birth. (He appears to have been raised in Stony Brook, but lots of people are born in a hospital in one Long Island town and raised in the nearby town: See Alec Baldwin.) That this has gone unfixed for over five years is disgraceful, and I applaud you for pointing this out. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:40, 20 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorted out. That was exactly the case, according to The New York Times, which specified he was born in one place and raised primarily in another. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:49, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Broken link?
The wikiqoute link for Kevin James is broken. One clicked, it leads me to Wikiqoute but it tells me that the page does not exist, and below the error is the suggestion Kevin James. It's hard to explain. The bottom says "Kevin James(actor)", but when clicked, it says the page doesnt exist, and then provides the suggestion "Kevin James". Am I the only one who sees this problem? If not, will someone please fix it? I'm not sure how..--Shadow6Wolf66 (talk) 23:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting the broken link. I fixed it. --Kam Solusar (talk) 18:29, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Merge
Steffiana de la Cruz is a sight for sore eyes but she doesn't appear to be notable aside from Kevin. She has only played minor roles in film and television, and Google doesn't really bring up any independent mentions.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 00:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm also supporting the merge.  Lajbi  Holla @ me  •  CP  17:26, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Taiwanese
Can someone please edit this particular information on him? American/Taiwanese, really? Come on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.112.176.193 (talk) 02:05, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Edited possible vandalism. -Phil (talk) 02:19, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Television
I removed the line below from James' television credits as he was not in this episode of Northern Exposure, it was an actor named John Sylvain (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0843167/). I watched the episode to confirm this.

James also guest starred in an episode of Northern Exposure (Season 4 Episode 9) in which he played a noisy car mechanic neighbor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.68.233 (talk) 12:34, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved per request. Favonian (talk) 12:45, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

– He is the primary topic for Kevin James. There's no contest. In the last 90 days, the page views are, in order,
 * Kevin James (actor) → Kevin James
 * Kevin James → Kevin James (disambiguation)
 * Porn actor: 9624.
 * Terrorist: 1362 (note that this is a redirect).
 * Magician: 2992.
 * English footballer: 1055.
 * Scottish footballer: 636.
 * Broadcaster: 2365.

By contrast, this one has 335152. That's nearly twice as many views as all of the above Kevin James' put together. It clearly serves our readers the best if this James is at the undisambiguated page.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 14:51, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Leslie BIbb is NOT related to Kevin James, but if you click on Leslie under his siblings, it links to her. 98.109.154.207 (talk) 01:36, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: If you're referring to the line in his personal life, James has an elder brother, comedian and actor Gary Valentine, and a sister, Leslie, there is no wikilink there.

The Sound Guy
I just looked him up because I discovered his videos of The Sound Guy on YouTube. I didn't see any mention of them and they are brilliant. 2A01:CB14:841C:BE00:CDBE:5B1B:EBE5:DA15 (talk) 08:18, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

shirts Doug wears
One moment I appreciate on "The King of queens" are the Brooklyn Cyclones shirts he wears during his acting.
