For nine seasons, The King of Queens thrived on the chemistry between Kevin James, Leah Reminiand Jerry Stiller. Each brought their own comedic strengths, but the most absurd storylines usually went to James’ Doug Heffernan and Stiller’s Arthur Spooner, who got to lean into the show’s broad, over-the-top humor. Remini’s Carrie, on the other hand, was most often the one tasked with keeping things grounded and reacting to the chaos around her rather than creating it herself.
