| − | * '''[[John Redcorn]]''' (voiced by [[Victor Aaron]] in 1997, [[Jonathan Joss]] in 1998–2009) – John is Nancy's [[Indigenous peoples in the United States|Native American]] former "healer" and adulterous lover, and the biological father of Joseph. He is a former roadie for [[Winger (band)|Winger]] and lead singer of Big Mountain Fudgecake. In Season 9, he began writing and performing his own children's music. He works out of his trailer as a masseur, though his clients are generally only women. It is implied that he has a history of having sex with them, as Hank is horrified when Peggy goes to see him, and John Redcorn even states to him, "Hank, I consider you a friend. I would never heal your wife the way I heal the wives of others." He is also active in American Indian rights campaigns, and Dale once helped him with a lawsuit that netted him twelve acres of land from the Federal government. However he was manipulated into building a [[Indian gaming|casino]] on the property which was later found to be prohibited in Texas whose tribes forfeit gaming rights for federal recognition and his property was permitted for hazardous dumping to pay the debt. Because Dale had been so helpful, Redcorn felt extremely guilty over what he did with Nancy, and ended his affair by encouraging Nancy and Dale to strengthen their marriage. He eventually got back together with an ex-lover and became a dedicated husband and father to the children he had with her.

| − | * '''Ted Wassonasong and Cindy Wassonasong''' (voiced by [[Mike Judge]] and [[Lauren Tom]] respectively) – Ted and Cindy are affluent Laotian-American acquaintances of the Souphanousinphones. Kahn and Minh envy and resent them, but go to great lengths to gain their favor, such as inviting them over for dinner. They live in the upscale, gated community of Arlen Heights, and are prominent members of Nine Rivers Country Club. Ted and Cindy tolerate the Souphanousinphones but, in reality, look down upon them. They joined the Episcopal Church despite being Buddhist because it was "good for business." Ted is also blatantly hypocritical. He referred to Kahn as a "Banana" (an ethnic slur to identify an Asian American apparently lost in touch with their ethnic identity; more comfortable with Western society) even though Ted possesses far greater degree of luxury commodities, and lost most of his accent. He also helped pass a city ordinance banning the use of [[trans fats]] only to be immediately found consuming the very foods he helped prohibit.

| − | * '''Octavio''' (voiced by [[Mike Judge]]) – Octavio is a Hispanic [[quasi]]-[[mercenary]] who does various bizarre favors for Dale when paid enough money, such as breaking into the Hill's home in the middle of the night to look for Dale's kidney (earlier in the episode, Hank, who was legally Dale for three days while Dale was in hospital to give his kidney to [[NHRA]] drag racer [[John Force]], was forced to help Octavio bash his own car with [[rebar]] to try and claim motor accident insurance, a scheme he had cook up with Dale). On his chest is a large [[Rob Zombie]] tattoo which he once tried to pass off as a tattoo of Jesus in order to join Luanne's Bible study group because she was conducting lessons in her pool while wearing a two piece bikini. His appearance was modelled after actor [[Danny Trejo]] (who actually voices [[List of King of the Hill characters#Strickland Propane|Enrique]] on the show). His last appearance was a non-speaking cameo in ''Just Another Manic-Kahn Day''.

| − | * '''H.W. (Harrison Walter) Ivey''' (voiced by Scott Swan in the first appearance, Garfield Everman in later appearances) – H.W. is a former employee of Craven Gifts and another antagonist who strikes out on his own and opens up the crooked Iveyland company across the street from Craven. He dresses like an old school rich cowboy with a ten-gallon hat and cowboy boots. An untrustworthy type, Ivey is a sometime foil to Ava Willis and/or Tina. His sins are similar to Tina Craven's (adultery, gambling, using people), but more pronounced. Ivey openly considers customers as little more than moneymakers and hires centerfold models or Chippendale dancers to bait potential gifts customers. Ava, who also despises him, was forced to work for Ivey for a week due to Tina losing at a game of cards. Whenever his name is mentioned, any of the Willis remark angrily, "Ivey!"

| − | * '''Reverend Thomason''' (voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]]) – A reverend at Arlen First Methodist Church. He was replaced by Reverend Karen Stroup upon retiring to start an online ministry.
| |
| − | * '''Reverend Karen Stroup''' (voiced by [[Mary Tyler Moore]] in 1999, [[Ashley Gardner]] in 2000–2010) – The first female minister of Arlen First Methodist Church. She is originally from [[Minnesota]], but is assigned to Arlen after Reverend Thomason left to start an online ministry. She and Bill finally become a couple, yet he broke up with her when she moved in and it felt like everything was moving too fast. The congregation also objected to the relationship. She didn't take it well but there has been no talk about their relationship since that episode.
| |
| − | * '''Jimmy Whichard''' (voiced by [[David Herman]]) – Jimmy is the town imbecile, and the main antagonist in "Life in the Fast Lane - Bobby's Saga". He has had several jobs, including concession manager at the racetrack and [[outsider artist]]. Dale notes that he may have given himself brain damage from staring into the sun for too long, although "he can't have been too bright to do it in the first place." When Peggy was scammed by an internet test that "proved" she was a genius, she only believed it to be a scam upon learning that Jimmy was also proclaimed a genius.
| |
| − | * '''[[Chuck Mangione]]''' (voiced by Himself) – Chuck is a famous jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player, and his hit song "Feels So Good" is played frequently on the show. He shamelessly promotes Mega-Lo Mart until he grows tired of going to every new store opening (he told Dale that he didn't read the contract properly, stating that Mega-Lo Mart opened 400 new stores per year and it left him no time to tour, record or be with his family). This forced him to disappear where Dale discovers he has become a hermit, living within the Arlen Mega-Lo Mart in a "Toilet Paper Castle" and stealing stocked items at night when the store is closed. When he tells Dale that he disappeared to "stick it to the man", Dale decides to keep his secret and Mangione goes on living in the store undetected.
| |
| − | * '''Monsignor Martinez''' (voiced by [[Mike Judge]]) – The Monsignor is the gun-toting priest hero of the fictional [[TV series]] ''Los Dias y Las Noches de Monsignor Martinez,'' a favorite of many of the principal characters. Clips of his program are often inserted into episodes as part of a running gag. In one of the episodes, Hank mentions that Martinez is an undercover cop. The clips of his episodes which appear on the series usually feature him just about to kill one of his nemeses while solemnly uttering his catchphrase, "''Vaya con Dios"; ''often preceding a melodramatic explosion. In the 8th-season episode "Flirting with the Master," the actor who plays Martinez invites Peggy to Mexico City to tutor his children, and she mistakes his interest for romantic passion. A live-action pilot was filmed featuring the character, but never aired because FOX didn't think it would have been a good idea to have a show about a Catholic priest shooting people.
| |
| − | * '''Lane Pratley''' (voiced by [[Dwight Yoakam]] in the first appearance, [[Dave Thomas (actor)|Dave Thomas]] in later appearances) – Lane is a sleazy car dealer who owns "Pratley [[Ford]]" and "Pratley [[Hyundai]]," and as he says, "I got my eye on Pratley [[Cadillac]]—my daddy ain't doing so good." Lane once owned a women's roller derby team that Peggy and Luanne skated for, before Peggy organized the skaters into a buyout and quit.
| |
| − | * '''Mark Buckley''' (voiced by [[David Herman]]) – Buckley was the [[slacker]] boyfriend of Luanne. He was killed in a propane explosion by his own negligence while working at [[Mega-Lo Mart]] in the second [[season finale]], having dragged a propane tank by the valve instead of its handles resulting in leak. The character did return once (as an angel) on the episode "Wings of the Dope," where Kahn buys Buckley's trampoline for his backyard and Luanne (who has been stressed over beauty school finals) begins seeing Buckley's angel.
| |
| − | * '''Officer Brown''' (voiced by [[Fred Willard]]) – Officer Brown is a local police officer in Arlen who is not averse to tampering with evidence and taking bribes from illegal food operations, as explained in episodes 20 and 11 (respectively) of season 12. In the episode "Cops and Roberts," Principal Moss states that "Officer Brown may be a disgraced cop who tampered with evidence . . . but this here used to be a man". His appearance is modeled after his voice actor. Brown (as well as other Arlen police officers) were seen to be 'starstruck' by fictional ex-[[Dallas Cowboy]] player Willie Lane (and his [[Super Bowl XII|1978 Super Bowl]] ring) and refused to arrest him for felonies against Hank and Kahn after finding out who he was in the episode "New Cowboy on the Block".
| |
| − | * '''Jack''' (voiced by [[Brian Doyle-Murray]]) – Jack is Hank's mentally unstable barber. Eventually, his distress affects his ability to style hair, causing Hank great embarrassment. Jack was almost forced out of business when a trendy salon named Hottyz opened across the street, but he was able to secure Luanne and Bill's services after Hottyz fired them when they learned Bill was not the homosexual hairstylist he'd been posing as.
| |
| − | * '''Eustace Miller''' (voiced by [[David Herman]]) – Eustace is a wimpy, mustachioed patent lawyer and father of Bobby's classmate Randy.
| |
| − | * '''Bob Jenkins''' (voiced by [[Henry Gibson]]) – Bob is a veteran reporter for ''[[The Arlen Bystander]]'' and is Peggy's main rival there. His left eye was scraped out of his skull because he had a [[brain tumor]]. When Peggy thinks the "[[Waffle House]] beat" is beneath her, Bob takes it over and breaks the story of Dale as "The Smoking Bandit." In "Bystand Me" (his debut episode), he tells Peggy that whenever he gets [[writer's block]], he hires a [[prostitute]].
| |
| − | * '''Miss Kremzer''' (voiced by [[Jennifer Coolidge]]) – The teacher at the beauty school Luanne went to. She is very condescending towards Luanne in her first appearance. After Hank's speech that gets Kremzer to change her grade for Luanne, she acts sympathetic along with the other students, but is right back to her previously-displayed bad attitude in subsequent episodes.
| |
| − | * '''Sharona Johnson''' (voiced by [[Dawnn Lewis]]) – A girl that goes to the same beauty school that Luanne went to, Sharona is hardworking and intelligent but is also very arrogant and puts down Luanne constantly.
| |
| − | * '''Chris Sizemore''' (voiced by [[Chris Elliott]]) – A real estate agent that Peggy once worked for after she wrote a scathing article about him in the Bystander for which she was consequently fired.
| |
| − | * '''Gary Kasner''' (voiced by [[Carl Reiner]]) – An elderly Jewish man who serves as Tillie Hill's new love interest following her separation from Cotton. He served on a submarine during Korea, but tells Bobby he didn't see any action during the conflict. Hank was initially not happy with his mother's decision to pursue a relationship again, but Hank changed his mind when Gary threatened to kick Cotton's ass if he kept talking bad about Tillie. In the "Honeymooners" episode, Tillie and Gary get married.
| |
| − | * '''Tom Chick''' (voiced by [[Phil Hendrie]]) – The manager of the Channel 84 news division.
| |
| − | * '''Nguc Phong''' (voiced by [[James Sie]]) – A Laotian who is one of Ted Wassonasong's friends.
| |
| − | * '''David "The Flyin' Hawaiian" Kalaiki-Ali'i''' (voiced by [[Brendan Fraser]]) – David is the star football player for Arlen High School in the episode "Peggy Makes The Big Leagues." He has a carefree attitude towards school, figuring he can coast by on his football skills (as most of the Arlen High teachers cut him slack due to his importance on the team), but he runs afoul of Peggy. Due to the [[No Pass No Play]] policy, David is prevented from playing football until he raises his grades, earning Peggy the ire of the local booster club. The club and school employees fabricate evidence that David was [[mental retardation|Learning disabled]] which he admitted was untrue although his grammar, handwriting and mathematical reasoning are poor. Realizing his chances for playing in professional sports are statistically low, he agrees to be tutored by Peggy to have something to fall back on.
| |
| − | * '''Mrs. Kalaiki-Ali'i''' (voiced by [[Amy Hill]]) – A Hawaiian insurance agent Hank visits when Kahn backs into Hank's truck with his van. A later episode revolved around her son David who was a star football player at Arlen High and was doing poorly in his classes.
| |
| − | * '''Fred Ebberd''' (voiced by [[Chelcie Ross]]) – A member of the city council who also works at a movie theater. He appeared in only two episodes, but is mentioned by Hank in several others. Hank mentions voting for him and having no regrets about it even though he has expressed disappointment with his performance.
| |
| − | * '''Anthony Page''' (voiced by [[David Herman]]) – An ultra-liberal social worker from Los Angeles. Physically frail, as he considers carpal tunnel a disability (nicknamed "Twig Boy"). In the pilot episode, he is assigned to investigate the allegation that Hank is beating Bobby. He appears in a later episode as Leon's advocate when Hank fired him for drug-abuse.
| |
| − | * '''Carl the Restaurateur''' (voiced by [[Dennis Burkley]]) – Owns and operates the Showbiz Deli in the episode ''Love Hurts and So Does Art''. He indicates in this episode that before switching the menu to New York style deli food, his restaurant had served Italian food. Carl is not a stickler for quality in his cuisine, noting that he orders chopped chicken liver in a large drum. His restaurant is not popular and often Bobby Hill is the only customer. He also seems to be a lazy cook, noting, "Did you know you have to heat up Italian food?". After the apparent failure of the Showbiz Deli, we encounter Carl again in ''Bad Girls, Bad Girls, Whatcha Gonna Do?'', again having switched his menu, this time to sushi, another food that can be served raw. In this later episode, it appears that Carl's business is doing much better, as the scenes of the sushi restaurant show many customers inside. He is not to be confused with the similarly named school principal Carl Moss, who was also voiced by Burkley.
