We may all be familiar with King of the Hill’s Dale Gribble, but embodying the pocket-sand-throwing, Manitoba-smoking spirit of Arlen’s most famous conspiracy theorist is no easy task.

During the King of the Hill panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, voice actor Toby Huss got candid about the challenge of taking on the late Johnny Hardwick’s iconic role in the show’s upcoming revival, revealing that no one did it quite like his former co-star. “I’m not going to improve on what Johnny did,” Huss explained when asked about his approach to Dale, per IGN. “But I hope he approves of it.”

Ahead of the show’s 14th season, which is set to hit Hulu on August 4th, it was announced that Huss, who voiced several characters, including Cotton Hill and Kahn Souphanousinphone during the show’s original run, would continue the role of Dale...

“King of the Hill” is planning to pay tribute to late cast members Johnny Hardwick and Jonathan Joss via memoriam cards that will run during episodes of the show’s upcoming revival on Hulu. Both Hardwick and Joss appear on Season 14 of the show, having voiced their characters before their deaths.

“King of the Hill’s” executive producers revealed these tributes on Friday during the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel. The producers also shared a bit more about how they’re referencing the characters of Luanne and Lucky – voiced by the late Brittany Murphy and rock star Tom Petty – both of whom passed before the recent revival. And they noted the passing this week of musician Chuck Mangione, another “King of the Hill” staple.

The Hardwick tribute (above) had previously been announced during the show’s panel last month at the Atx Television Festival in Austin. During that event,...

Animation feels insulated from many of the obstacles that face nostalgia-driven revivals. The actors don’t visibly age, thereby reminding the audience of time’s passage; the characters themselves often exist in a temporal bubble, where Bart Simpson is forever in fourth grade and Bikini Bottom remains on the ocean floor. You can’t go home again, the saying goes, but when Hank and Peggy Hill (Mike Judge and Kathy Najimy) return to Arlen, Texas, it’s easier and less uncanny to follow them there than, say, Dexter Morgan to New York City.

Their namesake sitcom can, for example, lightly fudge its timeline. “King of the Hill,” co-created by Judge and future “The Office” czar Greg Daniels, has been off the air for 15 years. But when the Hills come back from their stint in Saudi Arabia — a country whose name Peggy, forever confident in her nonexistent language skills, cannot pronounce...

Famed musician Chuck Mangione, who was also a fan favorite guest star on King of the Hill, has died. He was 84 years old.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mangione died at his home in Rochester, New York, on Tuesday. While an exact cause of death isn't yet known, the musician reportedly died in his sleep. His attorney, Belock Levine & Hoffman Llp's Peter S. Matorin, confirmed Mangione's passing.

Mangione rose to prominence in music as a member of Art Blakley's band in the 60s before forming the Jazz Brothers alongside brother Gap. As he rose in the world of music, he found major success in 1978 with the release of his single "Feels So Good." The song reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 after its release, and the album was nominated for Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards. Mangione's "Give It All You Got" also served as the theme to...

It was reported after the publishing of this story that Chuck Mangione died this week at the age of 84.

Hulu is bringing back King of the Hill with an all-new season, but there are going to be some big changes. Notably, the revival moves the story forward by 15 years, picking up with much older versions of returning characters. Many fan favorites have been confirmed to appear in early teasers and trailers, though one popular guest star from the original is not expected to be involved, at least for now.

In the classic King of the Hill, real-life musician Chuck Mangione appeared semi-regularly as one of the most popular guest stars. Because of this, some fans may wonder if the Hill family will reunite with Mangione in one of the revival's new episodes. However, TVLine quotes a source involved with the new series as stating, "He's not in Season 14, but we'll see what the future brings.

Earlier this month, Hulu announced that the upcoming “King of the Hill” revival will see Ronny Chieng take over the recurring guest role of Kahn Souphanousinphone from the show’s original run. The decision meant that the Asian character, previously one of several parts voiced by Toby Huss, would be voiced by an Asian performer for the first time.

Now, IndieWire can exclusively reveal five new guest stars for the show’s long-awaited 14th season, several of which are similar recastings of old recurring characters with actors of color. In addition, Keith David and Anthony “Citric” Campos have joined the series as new characters.

David will play new character Brian Robertson, who rented the house of main character Hank (series co-creator Mike Judge) in between the events of the show’s original seasons and the revival, and integrates into Hank’s friend group. Campos will play Emilio, a chef at...

A few of the original cast members of King of the Hill have passed away in recent years, but Stephen Root (Bill Dauterive) explained how the upcoming revival persevered without them. After nearly 16 years, a revival of King of the Hill is nearly out with a premiere date of August 4. Unfortunately, three of the show's original actors - Johnny Hardwick (Dale Gribble), Brittany Murphy (Luanne) and Jonathan Joss (John Redcorn) - passed away before the revival could air.

During an interview with Screen Rant's Grant Hermanns for Resident Alien season 4, Stephen Root spoke about King of the Hill season 14 and the passing of Murphy, Hardwick, and Joss. Root mentioned that though some of the cast members of King of the Hill have passed away, the revival still felt like family affair.

Well, it was really easy to step back into that character, because I think Bill is now part...

The latest trailer for the King of the Hill revival offers a hilarious glimpse at what fans can expect from the long-awaited 14th season. The footage reveals that Bobby Hill is now working as a chef at a hibachi restaurant and dating a vegan girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Bill has fallen into a deep depression during Hank’s time away, and Hank himself has officially retired from Strickland Propane.

In earlier announcements, Hulu revealed that Hank and Peggy had moved to Saudi Arabia so Hank could take a high-paying contracting job to build their retirement savings. Now that they’re back in the U.S., Hank isn’t returning to work, he’s fully retired and adjusting to his new life.

As for Bobby and Connie, it looks like they’ve chosen to stay just friends. The trailer hints at Bobby’s love life taking a new turn, as he shares some...

The new King of the Hill is coming to Hulu this summer, picking up 15 years after fans last saw the Hill family. Several stars from the original show are back on board to reprise their roles, though some characters will be having new actors voicing them.

Per Variety, comedian Ronny Chieng, best known for serving as a correspondent for The Daily Show on Comedy Central, has joined the King of the Hill revival. He is voicing the role of Kahn Souphanousinphone, serving as a recurring guest star. Toby Huss originally voiced Kahn in the original King of the Hill, but it was expected that the character would be recast for the revival, given the increased scrutiny in recent years over white actors portraying non-white characters in movies and TV shows.

Huss is still involved with the revival, however. After the death of Dale Gribble's voice actor, Johnny Hardwick, it was...

The Hills are alive in Arlen!

After 15 years, King of the Hill is returning for a long-awaited 14th season — and the fictional suburb of Arlen, Texas, has had some big changes. On Thursday, Hulu released a trailer for the upcoming season featuring Hank Hill navigating the modern world. "I don't know how to kick someones ass over Zoom, but I'll figure it out," he says in the preview.

What's the story?

The animated show picks up with the Hill family years after the events of Season 13. Hank is retired following a long stint working in Saudi Arabia, while son Bobby, now 21, is pursuing a career as a chef in Dallas. The revival is being billed as "Season 14."

Who's in the voice cast?

The Hills' also meet some new faces on their block, including comedian and The Daily Show correspondent Ronny Chieng, who voices Kahn Souphanousinphone, their Laotian neighbor who is arrogant and ultra-competitive.

Hulu has released a trailer for its upcoming King of the Hillrevival series, giving fans their best look yet at the long-awaited Season 14. The sneak peek proves that a lot has changed in the last 15 years, but Hank Hill is still stuck in the past as he struggles to embrace the convenience of modern living and pretty much everything else that has altered around him. The recent retiree returns to Arlen, Texas, where he is forced to navigate Zoom calls, gender-neutral bathrooms, ride-hailing services, veganism, fake sports, and worst of all... fruity beer.

Hank would like to think it's his world and everyone else is just living in it, but unfortunately for him, those living in it have moved with the times while he is still stuck in his ways. Even his now-adult son Bobby, who has made a career for himself as an accomplished chef working at a fusion restaurant in Dallas,...

A new trailer has been released for the King of the Hill revival. The new series serves as a sequel to the original show, but it moves the story ahead by 15 years as an older Hank and Peggy Hill return to Arlen.

In the trailer, Hank's struggles to accept a modern America are on display. From Zoom meetings to Uber rides and all-gender bathrooms, the elder Hill has a lot to learn upon his return to the United States. Meanwhile, Bobby Hill is now a beer-drinking adult who is revealed to have a new girlfriend in the trailer, leading to an awkward moment with Peggy. Additionally, other fan-favorites, like Hank's three pals in the alley, are also all present. Check out the new trailer below, courtesy of Hulu, ahead of the show's launch on Aug. 4.

The official synopsis for the new series reads, “After years working a propane job in...

Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt have had a series of successful projects each, but their joint Western wasn't a big success. The action-packed Western The Magnificent Seven was a remake of the 65-year-old Western of the same name, and it didn't achieve the same acclaim as the original.

The Magnificent Seven premiered on Sept. 8, 2016, and it came from Washington's frequent collaborator, Antoine Fuqua, with whom he worked on The Equalizer trilogy and 2001's Training Day. Although The Magnificent Seven featured the two big movie stars and had critically acclaimed director attached to the project, the Western didn't impress. However, The Magnificent Seven is finding a new life on streaming, as it's currently rising on the charts on MGM+, per FlixPatrol.

The Magnificent Seven has been fluctuating in the charts on MGM+. The Western has recently risen three positions up to seventh place after spending the last few days in ninth and tenth place,...

Writer-director Mike Judge may be best known for creating the animated MTV series Beavis and Butt-Headand Fox’s King of the Hill, but he’s also an accomplished filmmaker. Ten years after his cult classic Office Space (1999) was released, Judge wrote and directed the Jason Bateman-led comedy Extract. It had been dominating Paramount+’s streaming charts as of late, but per FlixPatrol, Extract has now fallen to the No. 4 spot in Paramount+’s Top 10 Movies in the U.S.

Extract fell three spots to the No. 4 slot as of July 2. Monster Summer, Jack Quaid's action-comedy Novocaine, and Top Gun: Maverickhave now pushed ahead of Extract. The movie is ahead of films like Mean Girls, Norbit, and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Daysin the Top 10 Paramount+ ranking.

Oscar-Winning Actors Featured in Extract

The movie, which follows Joel, played by the Emmy-winning Jason Bateman, the owner of a factory that produces flavor extracts.

During its original run on Fox, King of the Hill provided opportunities for performers from all over the Southern U.S. states: Beth Grant (Alabama); Trace Adkins (Louisiana); Diedrich Bader (Virginia); Mary Kay Place (Oklahoma); Stephen Root and Tom Petty (Florida); Johnny Knoxville and Lane Smith (Tennessee), and of course the contingent from Texas, including Peri Gilpin, Glenn Morshower, Johnny Hardwick, Jonathan Joss and Mike Judge. Somehow, though, a show that crossed over with 30 Rock for several years never booked the actor whose role as Kenneth the Page made him synonymous with the state of Georgia: Jack McBrayer.

Based on the evidence of a new clip from the revival season, that seems like it’s about to change.

In the scene, Hank (Judge) is visiting Dallas’ George W. Bush Library with his wife Peggy (Kathy Najimy), and their friends Nancy and Dale Gribble (Ashley Gardner and Toby Huss). The...

In the latest teaser from the revival, Hank Hill fixes Bobby with a dead-serious stare and quips, “You must be a professional comedian if you think I’m going to let you take over for me.”

Despite Bobby’s advancement in age and success as a chef in Dallas, Hank still won't budge when it comes to the sacred duty of manning the grill. It’s a humorous yet heartfelt exchange that perfectly reflects their classic father-son dynamic, where growth is acknowledged, but Texad traditions stands firm.

When it comes to propane and grilling, Hank Hill hasn’t changed a bit.

Fans of King of the Hill can get ready to return to Arlen, Texas, as the beloved series makes its long-awaited comeback with a brand-new 14th season, premiering August 4th exclusively on Hulu.

This marks a major shift from the show’s original home on Fox’s Sunday Animation Domination lineup.

The beloved animated series King of the Hill is getting revived with an all-new season coming to Hulu this summer. As the updated show is set 15 years after the events of the original series, the characters are all notably much older, meaning Bobby Hill is now a young man.

On Father's Day, Hulu shared a new preview for the King of the Hill revival. While brief, the preview does include some actual footage from the show, revealing new interactions between an older Bobby (Pamela Adlon) and his father, Hank (Mike Judge). This also marks the first time fans have heard Bobby's voice, which sounds familiar but a bit older to reflect how he's no longer a child. Some things never change, however, given the different ways Hank and Bobby see things in the world — including beer. Check out the video below.

The synopsis of the reboot has shared more details...

The largely forgotten 16-year-old comedy created by Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge has found newfound success on streaming.

Directed by the creator of several iconic adult cartoon series, including Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill, Judge's 2009 live-action comedy film Extract has become a streaming hit. The film climbed to #2 most streamed film on Paramount+ U.S.Extract stars Jason Bateman as Joel Reynolds, the founder of a company specializing in making flavoring extracts. The film had an $8 million budget to work with and ultimately grossed $10.8 million at the global box offices. Despite the lukewarm financial success, Extract was generally positively received and currently has a 62% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Extract is a satire showing the company's questionable working conditions. When an accident results in one of Joel's employees, Dean Slade, played by Ben Affleck, losing a testicle, Cindy, a con artist played by Mila Kunis, steps in to capitalize on the incident.

A week after King of the Hill star Jonathan Joss was shot and killed in what his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales says was a homophobic attack, fans paid their respects to the late John Redcorn actor.

Roughly 100 mourners gathered at Crockett Park in Joss’ hometown of San Antonio on Sunday, leaving flowers, lighting candles and sharing their memories of the actor at a vigil hosted by Pride Center San Antonio.

“He was just a long-time friend of ours, and we’ve always been fans of King of the Hill,” Brittany Melgar, who attended the vigil with her boyfriend, told local news outlet Ksat, noting that Joss had agreed to officiate their wedding shortly before his death.

For others, including Jennifer Rios, the memorial was about more than just a remembrance of Joss’ life, but rather an opportunity to show Kern de Gonzales their support as officials investigate the shooting as a potential hate crime.

After swiftly dismissing claims that the murder of King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation actor Jonathan Joss was a homophobic hate crime, the San Antonio Police Department has started to take the allegations of Joss’ husband Tristan Kern de Gonzalez more seriously.

On June 1st at roughly 7 p.m., Sapd alleges that Joss’ neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, drove up to Joss’ property and began arguing with the actor before drawing a gun and shooting Joss multiple times before driving away. Police officers arrested Ceja just one block from the scene of the murder, and they claim that Ceja admitted to shooting his neighbor during the arrest. Ceja has been charged with felony first degree murder.

As Gonzalez declared shortly after the murder, the official story is far from a complete account of both the lead-up to the murder and the heinous act itself. Gonzalez claims that the murder...

Police investigating the shooting death of actor Jonathan Joss have not ruled out his sexual orientation playing a role in his killing, despite an earlier statement suggesting otherwise.

During a dispute Sunday night near his San Antonio, Texas home, Joss was shot and killed; a neighbor, identified by investigators as Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, was taken into custody and charged with murder.

Following Joss’ death, the King of the Hill voice actor’s husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, said on social media that they were approached by the neighbor who began...

Actor Jonathan Joss, who voiced the character John Redcorn in seasons two through 13 of King of the Hill, has died at 59 after being fatally shot in San Antonio, Texas.

According to the San Antonio Police Department, officers had been dispatched to Dorsey Drive around 7:00 p.m. on June 1 for a shooting. They arrived to find Joss, whose legal name is Jonathan Joss Gonzales, next to the roadway after he was shot. Authorities tried life-saving measures on him until Ems arrived and pronounced him dead.

The suspect, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, had been taken into custody and booked on a murder charge, the Sapd reported.

County records noted that Alvarez Ceja was arrested on Sunday at approximately 7:00 p.m.

He remained in custody on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Bexar County district clerk’s office. Alfonso Otero was assigned as his court-appointed attorney.

The San Antonio Police Department on Thursday walked back its insistence that there was “no evidence” to suggest King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss’ killing was motivated by homophobia.

Police Chief Bill McManus said today in a news conference that it had been “way, way, way premature” for the department to issue a statement earlier this week dispelling the idea that the killing was a hate crime, after Joss’ husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales detailed the events that preceded the shooting, saying it was the result of repeated and “openly homophobic” harassment.

“We understand that many in the LGBTQ+ community are feeling anxious and concerned. A lot of it has to do with that premature statement that we released, and again, I own that. We shouldn’t have done it,” McManus said. “The loss of Jonathan Joss was tragic and most heavily felt by the LGBTQ+ community.”

There’s nothing quite like working on “The White Lotus,” where cast members live on the same hotel set where they’re filming for as long as six months. And for Season 3 stars Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan — who played three lifelong friends on a girls’ trip to Thailand — it’s something they’re forever bonded by.

“We’d spent half a year together making this thing far from our homes and our families and our routines,” Coon tells Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “And it’s so fraught when we watch it in a way that it will never be for anybody else. We’ll never be able to explain it. There’s no way to express the fulsomeness of that experience. I’ve said, It’s like being an astronaut. The only person who knows what it’s like is another astronaut.”

That’s true of...

Jalen McKee-Rodriguez of the San Antonio City Council is outraged that the police department ruled out the possibility that the murder of Jonathan Joss was a hate crime before the actor’s body was even cold.

On Sunday evening, according to the San Antonio Police Department, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, a neighbor to the late King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation star, pulled up to Joss’ property in a vehicle and began arguing with him. Ceja, 56, then drew a rifle and shot Joss multiple times before driving away. When police officers responded to the 911 call about an active shooting, they found Joss dead on the scene, and they swiftly arrested Ceja just a block away from where he allegedly murdered his neighbor.

Ceja was charged with felony first-degree murder, telling the arresting officers simply, “I shot him.” He is now out on bail.

But according to Joss’ husband, Tristen Kern de Gonzales,...

For those who have any designs on reading Christopher Priest and Joe Quesada's ongoing comic book miniseries "Marvel Knights: The World to Come," turn back now. You've been warned.

Here's something nobody expected to say today: There's a white Black Panther now. Yes, really. As reported by Bleeding Cool, in the pages of the recently published "The World to Come" #3, we see a previously unknown son of T'Challa, the main Black Panther from the Marvel Comics universe, challenging his father for the throne of Wakanda. That challenge is successful, with the character we know as Ketema declaring, "I am king now, Wakanda is mine!" as T'Challa lies defeated on the ground. The catch? Once Ketema takes his mask off, we're looking at what appears to be a blonde, blue eyed white man.

Ain't no way Black Panther...

A few hours before I was scheduled to moderate the “King of the Hill” reunion/revival panel last Friday at Austin’s Atx TV Festival, I got to watch the first two episodes of the series’ highly anticipated upcoming return. Most of the show’s main characters are back, but have aged since we last saw them in 2009: Hank and Peggy are retired, and Bobby is now a successful 21-year-old sushi chef.

Among the supporting characters, in Episode 2 we see neighbor Nancy Gribble (voiced by Ashley Gardner) – as well as the object of her not-so-secret love affair, John Redcorn (voiced by Jonathan Joss). Gardner and Joss weren’t included on the Atx panel, as it was meant to be a small gathering led by creators Mike Judge (also the voices of Hank Hill and Boomhauer) and Greg Daniels. Also on stage were just three additional actors: Pamela Adlon (who...

Yesterday, King of the Hill co-creators Mike Judge, Greg Daniels and showrunner Saladin Patterson honored slain Koth star Jonathan Joss, who was shot and killed by a neighbor at his San Antonio home on Sunday night, with a post shared to the series’ official Instagram page, detailing just how much the John Redcorn actor’s “voice will be missed.”

“Jonathan brought King of the Hill’s ‘John Redcorn’ to life for over a dozen seasons, including in the upcoming revival,” read the post, which included a photo of Joss and his on-screen persona. “We extend our deepest condolences to Jonathan’s friends and family.”

Some fans, however, weren’t sold on the sentiment behind this statement, flocking to the comments with questions surrounding how the Koth brain trust handled Joss’ challenging final months. Namely, why Joss was excluded from the King of the Hill panel at the Atx TV Festival in Austin,...

It’s been three days since Jonathan Joss was shot to death by a neighbor in San Antonio, but tributes continue to roll in for 59-year-old actor.

Ahead of the “King of the Hill” Season 14 premiere on August 4, the team behind the Hulu revival paid tribute to the late voice actor on Tuesday.

Per TMZ, the police report stated that the deadly shooting happened at around 7 Pm on Sunday evening. A woman had driven Joss from Austin, Texas, to his former home in San Antonio to check the mail; the house had been destroyed by a fire in January. This coincides with a statement Joss' husband had released after the incident in which he said he accompanied Joss on this trip.

According to the police report, the suspect, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, rolled up in a car, accompanied by another individual. While what exactly was said isn't yet clear, it's stated that the two men got into a "heated argument" at this point,...

Not only does Nick Offerman not have any time or patience for homophobia, but he also wants viewers to know that Ron Swanson, his conservative “Parks and Recreation” character, doesn’t either.

Michael Flynn Jr., a self-described “patriot” and the son of retired United States Army lieutenant general and former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, tweeted Monday an edited Gif of Swanson throwing a Pride flag into a dumpster with the caption, “Just wanted to post how I feel about ‘pride’ month.”

The tweet drew a sharp response from Offerman himself, who coldly reminded Flynn, “Ron was best man at a gay wedding you dumb f—k. #HappyPride”

Jonathan Joss’ sudden death stuns world…

Jonathan Joss, the voice behind King of the Hill‘s unforgettable John Redcorn and a familiar face from Parks and Recreation, has tragically died at 59 after being shot during a dispute with a neighbor in San Antonio, Texas. Joss and his husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales,...

After King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday evening, his community in San Antonio is now grappling with the ugliness of the murder with the eyes of the country upon them.

The San Antonio Police Department has alleged that, on Sunday night, after Joss and his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales returned from a trip to Austin, neighbor Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja fired multiple shots into the long-time TV actor before fleeing in a vehicle. Paramedics pronounced Joss dead on the scene and police apprehended Ceja one block away, soon after charging Ceja with felony first-degree murder. Joss’ husband has since claimed that the killing was a homophobia-motivated hate crime, but the other residents in the area say that tensions between Joss and his neighbors stemmed from the late actor’s “erratic” behavior in the months leading up to his tragic murder.

The San Antonio...

Chris Pratt paid tribute to his “Parks and Recreation” co-star Jonathan Joss on social media after the news of his death in a shooting, telling his followers to “hug your loved ones.”

Joss, who played Chief Ken Hotate on “Parks and Rec” and was best known for voicing “King of the Hill” character John Redcorn, was fatally shot in San Antonio, Texas on Sunday and pronounced dead at the scene. He was 59.

“Damn. Rip Jonathan,” Pratt posted on his Instagram Story on Monday. “Always such a kind dude. He played Ken Hotate in Parks and was also in Mag 7. Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones.”

Joss was in five “Parks and Rec” episodes between 2011 and 2015, appearing across the sitcom’s third, fifth and seventh seasons. Pratt broke out on the series as Andy Dwyer, a goofy but lovable musician who dated Aubrey Plaza’s cynical April Ludgate.

Nick Offerman kicked off Pride Month by defending the LGBTQ+ community against homophobic hate on X. Michael Flynn Jr., son of retired Army lieutenant general and Trump’s former U.S. national security advisor Michael Flynn, attempted to use a clip of Offerman’s Ron Swanson from “Parks and Recreation” to denounce Pride Month.

“Just wanted to post how I feel about ‘pride’ month,” Flynn Jr. wrote on X accompanied by a “Parks and Rec” clip showing Swanson throwing a rainbow flag into a dumpster. Only the clip was doctored to make it appear as if Offerman’s character was homophobic. The real scene, from the fourth season episode “The Trial of Leslie Knope,” sees Ron throwing his computer in the trash. The edit Flynn Jr. shared on X replaced the computer with the rainbow flag.

“Ron was best man at a gay wedding you dumb fuck,” Offerman fired back on X.

Jonathan Joss, the actor who voiced John Redcorn on King of the Hill, has been shot dead at age 59 near his San Antonio home, just two days after an emotional appearance at the King of the Hill panel he wasn’t actually invited to (reports People).
