‘Kevin Can Wait’ Fans Still Think It’s ‘King of Queens’ 2.0

In tonight’s episode of Kevin Can Wait, Kevin and Vanessa tried to get a security job at a toy store, but they ended up stuck in the store.

Vanessa (Leah Remini) told Kevin (Kevin James) that this is a big opportunity for his security firm, since the store really needs them. Unfortunately, during the pitch, things didn’t go so well as Kevin continued to embarrass himself. Suddenly, Kevin had a summer place in Boca Raton and told the toy store owner he should adopt a child.

The two returned to the office, convinced that they didn’t get the job. But they go back to the store and start practicing how to pitch a second time. While talking in the bathroom, they suddenly learn they are locked in!

After the two got out of the store, the owner approached them at their office. He knew of a break-in, but didn’t know they had something to do with it. So he hired them. Their first job is to find the person who helped them escape – Rootger (Bas Rutten)!

Since Leah Remini joined the show, Kevin Can Wait viewers have worried that it was turning into a reboot of King of Queens. That continued tonight on Twitter.

Here’s how fans reacted to tonight’s episode.
