I can honestly say that Kevin James is the ONLY celebrity who I truly enjoy seeing youtube videos made by. His channel is pure heart and creativity and just a joy to watch. I hope it stays like this. His channel feels like it's being made by a quality creator. It's not just some celebrity that wants to get views. There is actual heart in these videos and I love it so much. Keep it up, Kevin.
