Kevin James: Sweat the Small Stuff Trailers

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.

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.

This is a must-see for anyone who loves good stand-up comedy. Strangely, I've never seen King of Queens, for which he stars, but I saw his Sweat the Small Stuff on Comedy Central and laughed until I was out of breath! Watch his facial expressions when he's asked by airport personnel, "Do you know what's in your suitcase?" His response is hysterical. Also, his skit involving women picking out greeting cards is dead-on. The number rhythm bit is also great! Get hold of a copy of this ASAP. It can be viewed by anyone in your family. No smut or cursing - very clean, and incredibly funny! Another great comic is Eddie Izzard. He's uses the *f* word frequently, but he's British, so he scales it down a bit. He's also an action-transvestite. Keep an open mind and see his Dress to Kill DVD.

When I first caught this on Comedy Central, I only saw the last half and loved it. For over two months, I searched for the repeat and finally saw the whole thing. Kevin James is a brilliant comedian. Not only are his stories very funny, but he is a master of gesture, body movement and facial expression. I kept this on tape and have passed it around to friends who've come back laughing every time. Too bad Comedy Central enjoys commercial interruptions and censors. I'd love to see this guy on HBO.

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.
