Kevin James: Sweat the Small Stuff

NR 7.4
2001 0 hr 42 min Comedy

Television's "King of Queens" reigns again in this Comedy Central special -- the network's first-ever hour-long show devoted entirely to one comic, taped live in July 2001 at New York City's Hudson Theatre. James riffs on life's many "royal" pains, including waiting in line with strangers, negotiating with the airport ticket counter clerk, underwear wedgies, boringly slow answering machine messages and more.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kevin James is a comic genius! This is the funniest thing I have seen in years! His facial expressions were priceless and the water skiing thing was hilarious. These were things we could all relate to and that was what really made it funny. I really loved the line at the airport bit and the phone number rhythm thing was great. The DVD is hard to find but I would love to buy it. I have seen it several times on Comedy Central and could watch it again and again. The whole bit was really pretty clean so the whole family watched it. We can quote all of the jokes now but still love to watch it. Watching this made me a "King of Queens" fan.

My wife and I own this DVD after it was recommended by friends. Previous comments of this being funny are dead-on. We recite lines from the act routinely back and forth. The phone number bit and jet ski bit had us slapping the floor. We never watched his TV show prior to seeing the special, but now catch it from time to time and realize that this man is funny! Observations, self-depreciating humor, facial expressions, sound effects and body movements GALORE are all highlights of this special...and you can see touches of them all in his television show as well. He'd make a great comedic sidekick/comic relief in movies...and it looks like he's breaking into them with that new movie "Hitch" that just came out. Previews seem to portray him as the comic relief. Funny man!

Wow! That is all I have to say about Kevin James. He has got women pretty figured out. I laughed so much my mother thought i was going to die. He is a brilliant man. The whole buying a card thing really got to me. How does he do it? Can I say that he is a god? Not only is he extremely good looking, he is a very funny and talented. Kudos to you Kevin and keep up the great work. Love ya...

You might stop eating pizza altogether or not be so quick to enter an elevator or never enter a bank again after watching this show. "The phone number/phone message bit" is great. "Opening the car door" was great too. How I wish the Comedy Central cable network had commercial-free comedy. They ruined this special by adding (I lost count) six commercial breaks and those fillers making this one-hour show only 39 minutes of actual joke-telling.
