How does the revived ‘King of the Hill' handle the Trump era? Here's why fans might be pleased
Author and former Maclean's writer and TV blogger Jaime Weinman is an authority on one of the best-remembered shows of the 1990s: The Fox animated comedy 'King of the Hill.' Now that it's back, he has taken a quick preview and shares his thoughts. Can the revived show live up to its past? Or have the times changed too much? Would Hank Hill be MAGA? Can he exist in the Trump era without answering that? On Aug. 4, 2025, Hulu (and Disney Plus in Canada) will launch a revival of Mike Judge and Greg Daniels' animated sitcom 'King of the Hill.' Judge voices the protagonist, Hank Hill, an emotionally repressed propane salesman from suburban Texas, a proud Ronald Reagan voter, and a moderate conservative equally disdainful of hippies and conspiracy theorists.

Pamela Anderson sparkles on The Naked Gun red carpet
Pamela Anderson sparkled on the red carpet this week alongside her The Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson. And it may have been more than the bespoke lab-grown diamond Pandora earrings and brooch that the B.C.-based star was wearing at the New York City event. (She's an ambassador for the jewelry brand.) The two stars stepped out at the film premiere amid swirling rumours that they're more than just co-stars of the film. According to Us Weekly magazine , Anderson and Neeson are 'officially an item.' In an interview with Postmedia News for the film, Anderson remarked the 'just had fun' while working on the project. Discover the best of B.C.'s recipes, restaurants and wine.

Anderson, who also shared the red carpet at the film premiere with her two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee, may have added fuel to the romance fire in a post shared to her Instagram account in which she noted, 'love is in the air.' Whether it's master movie marketing at its best or true love, we'll have to wait and see. Tapping into a touch of old Hollywood glamour, Anderson, who calls Vancouver Island home , wore a floor-length navy blue gown that was custom made by American fashion designer Thom Browne. She decorated the tailored, satin gown with a few sparkling touches of lab-grown diamonds, including a brooch and earrings. To add to the retro elegance, she wore delicate sheer black gloves. Anderson has been a darling of fashion and film circles in recent years, being celebrated for her acting, her playful sense of style — and for her largely makeup-free approach. 'I was really kind of drawn to the no-makeup makeup kind of thing because I'm still trying to figure out who I am underneath it all,' Anderson told Postmedia News in a feature interview following her 2024 Golden Globe nomination for her role in The Last Showgirl . 'I feel like I've been playing characters my whole life, in my personal life, and now that I get to play them in films and movies, I can actually just be myself. 'It's an experiment I'm playing with … I never thought anyone would even notice. But I love that other people are having makeup-free dinner parties and all sorts of stuff.' The star also stole style headlines earlier this year when she revealed a chic bob hairstyle at the Met Gala, which she paired with sparkling gown by Tory Burch. Her outfit for the annual fashion charity event last year hit closer to home — it was reportedly inspired by her property in B.C.
