In one of the most unexpected concert moments of the year, Jelly Roll shocked fans at Buckeye Country Superfest when he brought out actor/comedian Kevin James for a surprise live performance. The moment, which quickly went viral on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, is being hailed as one of the top Jelly Roll concert surprises to date.
On Saturday, June 22, Jelly Roll performed a headlining set at Ohio Stadium. He introduced the crowd to a “very special guest.” The King of Queens star has been jokingly compared to being a brother or family member to Jelly Roll on social media over the years based on their looks, so this was quite an epic surprise for fans to witness.

Jelly Roll and Kevin James: The Duet We Didn’t Know We Needed
“This right here is a night to remember—we do things a little different,” Jelly Roll told the massive crowd. He grinned widely and teased the audience before revealing the surprise. “Why not bring out my man, Kevin James, to sing it with me?”
Kevin James took the stage, looking like a twin to Jelly Roll. The pair both donned backwards baseball caps, black vests, and jeans. The unlikely duo performed Jelly Roll’s hit, “Need a Favor.”
Fans erupted in disbelief—and then applause—as the two harmonized effortlessly. Videos of the duet quickly exploded online, with clips captioned “Kevin James can actually sing?!” and “Best surprise of Buckeye Country Superfest.”
Kevin James Can Sing?
While Kevin James is best known for his comedic roles, his brief turn on stage showcased genuine vocal ability—something many fans didn’t expect. His on-stage charisma and harmonies with Jelly Roll added a playful yet sincere energy to the night.
“They looked like they were having the time of their lives,” one fan posted. “Kevin James has pipes!”
Saturday’s show was part of Jelly Roll’s 2025 Backroad Baptism Tour. Furthermore, the Buckeye Country Superfest performance already stands out as a highlight. Fans are now wondering what other surprises might be in store on upcoming dates.
