Kevin James Thornton – Hilarious, World-Touring TikTok Star and Comedian – Grew Up Right Here in Evansville, Indiana

I said, "No."
She said, "He's a standup comedian and I am obsessed with him." And, well, that did it for me.

One of Kevin's now-famous TikTok videos begins with him crooning, "In my super-fundamentalist church youth group when it was the '90's, we were obsessed with the rapture. And we even had a song we would sing in church, and the words were like, 'it's too late ... you've been left behind ..."
