Leah Remini reveals she still signs the fan mail she receives from The King Of Queens fans… almost two decades after the show ended
Leah Remini revealed she is still signing her King Of Queens fan mail in a video shared to her Instagram account on Friday.
The 53-year-old actress played the role of Carrie Heffernan on the hit CBS sitcom, which lasted a total of nine seasons and ran from 1998 to 2007.
The artist — who recently opened up about her battle with perimenopause — wrote in the caption of her post that the ability to interact with the show’s fanbase was something she had “always dreamed of when I was younger.”
Remini further explained that she also regularly received help from her mother in signing and replying to fan mail.
“I thought I’d share this with you. I still do my fan mail. I still draw it. My mom puts it all on my dining room table, and I do this once every two weeks,” she said.

The Primetime Emmy Award-winning artist also spoke about the reason behind her constant practice.
“I always promise that I will do this and that I will always draw with people or take a picture if I can. Because this is what I dreamed of: people wanting my picture,” she said.
Remini co-starred with Kevin James in The King Of Queens, which focused on a middle-class couple living in Rego Park, Queens, New York City.
In addition to the show’s leads, the cast was completed with Jerry Stiller, Patton Oswalt and Victor Williams.
The show’s two stars were reunited during the second and final season of Kevin Can Wait, which premiered in 2016.
The show did not do as well as The King Of Queens, receiving mostly negative reviews over its two years.
Remini commemorated The King Of Queens’ 25th anniversary by sharing a post on her Instagram account last September.
The artist wrote a lengthy note in her post saying she was “blessed” for all the support she had received from the show’s fans over the past decade.
