I’m admittedly shocked that no one from Kevin Can Wait has actively tried to get Patton Oswalt involved yet, considering he was a huge part of the King of Queens cast.
So if anyone had any ideas about bringing Oswalt in, there likely wouldn’t be any issues with the subject matter.
And even though the current CBS sitcom also hasn’t tried to tap Jerry Stiller or Victor Williams, it’s not like Stiller is still active on the acting front.
And this is a show that, let’s not forget, added Leah Remini as a guest star at the end of Season 1 and then completely revamped the show to turn her into a lead character, even when it came at the expense of actress Erinn Hayes, who was fired ahead of Season 2, with her character Donna facing an unceremonious and fan-enraging offscreen death.
