KEVIN AND DREW
World travelers, TV personalities, Goodwill ambassadors
ABOUT US
Fraternity brothers Kevin O'Connor and Drew Feinberg met while Kevin was pledging Drew's fraternity, Delta Psi Upsilon, at St. John's University in New York. Years later, in the Fall of 2001, Kevin and Drew would become the breakout stars of the premiere season of CBS' global adventure reality series The Amazing Race.
Although their opinions on almost every subject are diametrically opposed, Kevin and Drew agree wholeheartedly on three things: The Godfather, the New York Mets and Italian food! The fraternity brothers exuded confidence in their ability to work together as they breezed through the field until reaching the final leg of The Amazing Race, where they were eliminated. Their keen sense of humor - Kevin's honed with 18 years of Catholic education, Drew's with more than ten years in law enforcement - helped relieve the stress of language barriers and global travel arrangements. That sense of humor, coupled with a friendship described as "the best platonic relationship since Butch and Sundance" earned Kevin and Drew an unprecedented 94% popularity rating from viewers voting on CBS.com. In addition, the boys were named "The Best of Reality Television" in Entertainment Weekly's annual year-end issue.
In the Spring of 2007, The Amazing Race: All Stars was next for the world travelers and the guys took-off for what they hoped would be the third-time charm. Sadly, they were eliminated after the second leg. Nonetheless, it was a happy but short jaunt through Latin America.
Today, Kevin is happily married and the father of triplets. He lives with his family in Monmouth County, New Jersey and is a forensic accountant. Drew is happily retired and living in Las Vegas. He enjoys playing poker and napping.
On the heels of their overwhelming success on The Amazing Race, Kevin and Drew earned a stint as presenters of the Best Reality Based Television Program award at The 28th Annual People's Choice Awards. They went on to star in a recurring segment on The Rosie O'Donnell Show called "Kevin and Drew to the Rescue." The Early Show tabbed the dynamic duo to do correspondent reporting from both The 59th Annual Golden Globe Awards and The NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship. Other guest segments include appearances on Entertainment Tonight, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, The Wayne Brady Show, The Other Half, Street Smarts and The NFL Today, as well as numerous in-studio radio interviews and nationally-syndicated broadcasts including Scott and Todd in the Morning, the Z100 Z-Morning Zoo, The Mancow Morning Madhouse, The Bob and Sheri Show, All Night with Todd Wright on ESPN Radio and The Sports Junkies Nationwide.
Kevin and Drew returned to primetime on The Discovery Channel in the Summer of 2004, with their own travel documentary called Kevin and Drew Unleashed. The boys continued their hilarious travels to unique places, meeting eccentric folks doing offbeat jobs such as: handling alligators, harvesting cranberries, herding cattle, brewing beer, shrimping, managing a new age health spa, and maintaining the grounds for a professional baseball team. While critically-acclaimed, their three episode pilot-to- series was not picked-up.
