Kevin James is returning to CBS this fall with Kevin Can Wait, but the actor revealed what happened to a comedy he was working on with Lionsgate. The project was first mentioned in 2013, but the planned sitcom fell through the cracks.
James said the following about what happened, according to The Wrap:

James also revealed that he wanted to do a comedy in front of an audience, and he has that with Kevin Can Wait.
