King of Memes? Kevin James Picture Goes Viral Over the Last Week
If you're on Twitter and other socials, you may have noticed a Getty images promotional photo of Kevin James for his CBS show The King of Queens being used as a reaction, a lot.
According to Know Your Meme, the first usage of James' photo was via this tweet by a podcaster sent on September 21st, 2023:

Since then, a variation of tweets with this image have been used over the last few days. Some even compared this meme to the Fletcher Quimby Getting Interviewed meme (can't seem to find the tweet I saw on that).
As of this posting, the comedian and actor has yet to address his viral moment on socials. Ironically enough however (or maybe not? pr?), the show celebrated it's 25th anniversary 4 days ago.
