It’s the question everyone’s asking (not the one about whether Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are actually dating).
Why are there memes everywhere starring Kevin James, in a photo that — per my colleague, Mitchell Northam — is from publicity shots for King of Queens all the way back in 1998?
I mean, I get the meme — it’s James shrugging and looking both confident and sheepish at the same time, which lends itself to a lot of captions. I just can’t totally figure out the origin (I don’t think it’s because Sean Payton has been bad thus far with the Denver Broncos).
Here are the memes:
