Unfortunately, the network passed on the gender-swapped small screen version of Frank Oz’s 1991 classic What About Bob? thus freeing up Remini to take on a more substantial role on Kevin Can Wait.

Additionally, she’s received positive reception toward her documentary series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.
Remini starred as the lead on NBC’s pilot presentation of What About Barb?
