Why does the assistant keep hanging out with David?


I've seen only two random episodes of this and in both, there's a curly haired kid with glasses who was apparently his assistant on the show he was from. Why does he keep hanging around David even though his show is over? I mean, his job was to assist during the time his sitcom was on the air, not in real life. I don't get it.

Hero worship; he idolizes him!

He did everything for him so he's probably his personal assistant now. People like that become like family.

In the first episode, David couldn't handle being off the show and running the house, so they "kept" Kevin bc he was good at helping David. I guess the underlying joke is supposed to be that the father has to learn how to be a real dad instead of his tv character.

Disclaimer: I watched the first few episodes, but it didn't get funnier, so I gave up. It was nice seeing "Mr. Cooper" and the actress from Sister Act, but the show is is painful to watch.
