If it came down to it, I'd probably choose Jason Ritter to save us from ourselves -- and that's what the actor is doing on the new ABC comedy Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. It has been my good fortune to frequently speak with him over the course of his career, and one thing has remained a constant -- he's probably one of the nicest guys on the planet. As Kevin Finn, Ritter’s character is down on his luck. A failed relationship leads to a failed suicide attempt, so Kevin decides to take a break from the rat race and reconnect with his sister Amy (JoAnna Garcia Swisher) and surly niece Reese (Chloe East) in Texas. Unsure of his next move, Kevin is prepared to wander aimlessly through life -- that’s until a meteor crashes in the family’s backyard revealing a guardian angel named Yvette (Kimberly Hébert Gregory). Soon Kevin is informed of his mission: He is the last of 36 mortals in his generation chosen to restore hope to the world.
