The two stars even matched in black vests and jeans with backwards baseball caps for the duet.

“Kevin James is so fine,” another fan gushed.

Someone else declared, “Kevin James is one of the hottest men on the planet.”

This isn’t the first time James has shown off his singing talents.

In 2024, the Emmy nominee appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and performed a song about Groundhog Day with the late-night host.

Over the last year, James has also showed off his dramatic weight loss after dropping 60 pounds by fasting for a month.

“When I lock on, I can do something,” he stated on Joe Rogan’s podcast in March 2024. “I started fasting, I didn’t say ‘I’m going to do 40 days,’ I just said ‘I’m going to do whatever I can. I felt pretty good for a while, and then I’d have these dips, like wow, I feel pretty miserable.”

“I lost, I think, like 60 pounds,” James revealed. “I didn’t even take vitamins. It cleansed everything out of me.”
