SHUT the front door!!!!! Gary Valentine is Kevin James' brother!

I see him on Chelsea Lately all the time. Now I see why he looks so familiar. You can totally see it when you know. Valentine is obviously a stage name. Very few have that as an actual last name.

They look alike and have similar taste in women. It's always mentioned that Gary's wife is Asian. So is Kevin's wife. Now that piece right there is very interesting.

Irene Ryan was Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies. That she "worked" with Motown is a stretch; she played Berthe in "Pippin" on Broadway, and Motown invested in that production and released the soundtrack. It's not like she recorded a duet with Marvin Gaye or anything like that.

As for the other two, your guess is as good as mine.

I've known that for some years now. Forgot how I found out. I love that show. One of my favorites. I always thought it was funny how he plays Dougs loser like/ can't keep him away cousin..It's almost surreal. On the show, Danny always looks up to Doug. They must get a laugh about that. Since Danny is actually the older brother in real life. I always thought that they must have had alot of fun with that. Oddly enough though. Doug, err Kevin James does look like he would be the older one though. Being a little bit bigger and all...That's how I've always seen it...Funny nonetheless...
