29 Years Ago, King of the Hill’s Most Iconic Guest Star Made His First Appearance (Setting Up a Big Twist)

Trumpet player Chuck Mangione first appeared as an animated character in the first season of King of the Hill, in the episode “Luanne’s Saga.” He was featured as a spokesperson for “Mega-Lo Mart,” a fictional store similar to Wal-Mart and Target. Given that Luanne worked there and the store was popular in Arlen, Mangione became a recurring character, appearing in several storylines throughout the series.
