Hey guys, is Kevin James Matt Taylor on TikTok?

Kevin James Matt Taylor TikTok

If you've heard the five words, "Hey guys, Mr. Taylor here," and thought, "No, no, that's everyman comedic actor Kevin James, star of the classic '90s sitcom The King of Queens," then welcome.

You may also have a question: What's going on?

A week ago, Matt Taylor, aka @thisismatttaylor, posted a TikTok video about how much he loves being an art teacher. That's a normal thing an art teacher might post, sure, but Matt Taylor looks very much like James. That might lead you to ask another important question, "Why is Kevin James pretending to be an art teacher named Matt Taylor on TikTok?"

"Could we all just imagine Kevin James has a 'day job' teaching young kids under an alias and they have no idea who he is because they’re too young. Parents show up for conferences looking hella confused because their kids never told them Kevin James was their teacher," one commenter wrote on the first video.

"We are witnessing a good prank," another commenter wrote on a later video.

In total, Taylor has uploaded five videos, which have garnered between 700,000 and 2.4 million views.

Taylor didn't respond to a request for comment from Mashable, and neither did James's representatives, but there are three main theories floating around the internet:

  1. Matt Taylor happens to be Kevin James' doppelgänger. They are two different people.

  2. Kevin James is pulling a KJ Apa.

  3. This is promotion for Kevin James' new movie.

The first option strikes me as wrong because I spent many hours watching The King of Queens after school and I still have 20/20 eyesight.

The second option has some legs to it. KJ Apa has a viral TikTok persona called Mr. Fantasy in which he wears a wig and fake teeth and makes me uncomfortable, and this James role isn't that far off.

The third option feels most realistic to me. It looks like a significant amount of effort is going into these videos — he has an entire classroom in one, he's in an art supply closet in another video, and a third video features a timelapse of him painting. He's following one person — Ed Sheeran — but he has nearly 115,000 followers. And he has a new movie coming out, Playdate.

In the end, I agree with this creator, who wrote: "I don’t care if he’s Kevin James, I like Matt Taylor’s vibe!"

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...
