What's up with Kevin O'Conner? He looks like a grown up version of Ralphie
from a "Christmas Story" and is a dumbass to boot. I seen a show where
he was helping Tom Silva do something, and all Tom got done was telling
Ralphie how to do stuff.


Kevin O'Conner asks dumb questions so that Tom Silva will be able to
present
the material to the audience in a way that seems natural. Think of
Kevin
as the shill in the audience. If I recall correctly, they
"discovered" Kevin
when he sent a question to Ask This Old House. He'd done a lot of
work on
his own house, but had some issue that they thought would be
interesting to
have on ATOH. He looked good on camera, and his predecessory (Steve)
was ready to leave, so they hired Kevin. Before being on TOH, Kevin
was
an attorney.
