SEASON PREMIERE: For the Season 2 premiere, this otherwise negligibly mentionable sitcom makes a major, noteworthy change. Leah Remini, who co-starred as Kevin James’ wife on King of Queens, joins Kevin Can Wait as his co-star on this show as well. Not as his wife – but as his former police partner, a role she introduced at the end of last season. Given this change, the character played by James on Kevin Can Wait wouldn’t have to lose his current TV wife, played by Erinn Hayes– but he will.
