10 Worst TV Performances Of 2016
7. Kevin James - Kevin Gable (Kevin Can Wait)
Chances are, if you're a fan of Kevin James, you'll find his performance in Kevin Can Wait totally serviceable. But it's for this very reason that the character of Kevin Gable is so frustrating: he's just Kevin James. Being Kevin James. The same as every other Kevin James performance.
It's the same old shtick over and over. Gable is bumbling and ignorant but means well. He embarrasses his older daughter Kendra. He frustrates his loving wife. It's all delivered in that same, predictable Kevin James style.
Gable could be swapped out for any other Kevin James character, from Scott Voss in Here Comes The Boom to Doug Heffernan in The Kind Of Queens and you'd barely even notice. It's dull and it just isn't fun to watch.
