Here's What Bobby Hill and Pamela Adlon Have in Common
is a reporter at Eater, focusing on pop culture, policy and labor, and only the weirdest online trends. King of the Hill, Mike Judge's seminal animated series about the best darn suburban Texas family who ever lived, is back on the air, and nobody's more excited about it than Pamela Adlon. The Emmy-winning voice actor who brought Bobby Hill, the quirky son of Hank (Judge) and Peggy (Kathy Najimy) Hill to life, was more than thrilled to resurrect one of television's most unique characters, especially when she found out that everyone's favorite cartoon gourmand grew up to be a chef. On the heels of the release of King of the Hill's 14th season on Hulu, Eater caught up with Adlon about returning to the role, why chef was the perfect career choice for a guy like Bobby, and which of the Japanese-German fusion dishes on his menu she's looking forward to trying out. What was it like to inhabit the character of Bobby Hill again after 15 years away from the show? Easy as pie. He just lives inside me, and he's been dormant. It really didn't hit me until later, though, that I do a lot of cooking in real life. I'm an amateur chef, and I did a lot of cooking in my own show, Better Things. So to be able to do that with Bobby, I love that. I love that they're showing grown-up Bobby with his friends who are all off at university, and he's working in a restaurant. He's taken on some of these attributes of his dad — being a blue-collar working man, being responsible — but he's still an outside-the-box thinker who comes up with an idea like serving German-Japanese cuisine in Dallas. What was your reaction when you found out that Bobby grew up to be a chef? I freaked out. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. It just feels right. The only other option was for him to self-actualize and become a prop comic. I love that it has artistry, and also what I call 'blacksmith skills,' the stuff that all human beings need to stay alive. It just feels so natural to see Bobby inside a restaurant. Like, of course he's a chef. It really is a beautiful transition for him, and that's a testament to the writers and the creators of the show, both the OG writers and the new writers. The new writers we got are real fans who grew up with the show, and it's really sweet. They're working so hard to honor the old-school, vintage King of the Hill stuff, but infuse it with new juice. And I think they did an awesome job. Did you bring any of your own restaurant experience to the role? I never worked in a restaurant. I always wanted to have a restaurant, but I'm just an amateur cook. My experience is years of cooking for my kids and their friends. I also did a lot of cooking on Better Things, and I loved incorporating food into those scenes. Food is a big part of my life and what I do, but [the writers] didn't need me to give them any of my ideas. They already came up with all the good stuff. Bobby's German-Japanese fusion definitely sounds interesting, but I'm not so sure about eating herring tempura. Are you looking forward to recreating any of his recipes at home? Absolutely. I think if I had to pick just one, it would be the miso-wurst.

King of the Hill Season 14 OTT release: Now streaming on Hulu, here's what to expect as Hank and Bobby return after 15 years for the iconic reboot
The propane-powered gang from Arlen, Texas, has returned, and it is not just a nostalgic fever dream. King of the Hill Season 14 is now streaming exclusively on Hulu, officially marking the show's revival 15 years after it aired what fans thought was its finale. Surprise, Hank Hill is still mumbling about propane, and we are 100% here for it. King of the Hill OTT release All ten episodes of the new season landed on Hulu on August 4, turning the once-Fox classic into a full-on Hulu original. If you have been wondering where Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and the boys have been, well, you are in for a wild ride. What to expect from King of the Hill? Turns out, quite a bit. Hank and Peggy Hill return to their Texas roots after spending time working in the Middle East, yes, you read that right. While their Arlen crew (Dale, Boomhauer, and Bill) has mostly stayed the same, the world around them definitely has not. And Bobby? Our boy is thriving. He is now the head chef at Robata Chane, a German-Japanese fusion restaurant. That is right, the same Bobby who once snacked through awkward pre-teen moments is now plating up international cuisine. Who's voicing who? The OG voices are back and better than ever, mostly. We will again see Mike Judge return as Hank Hill and Boomhauer. And Kathy Najimy obviously continues to crush it as Peggy. Pamela Adlon reprises her iconic role as Bobby, and sadly Johnny Hardwick (Dale) recorded part of the season before his tragic passing in 2023, while Toby Huss steps in as well. Stephen Root, Jonathan Joss (before his 2025 passing), and Ronny Chieng round out the all-star voice cast. Where to watch King of the Hill for free? If you are new to Hulu, you can score a 30-day free trial of their ad-supported plan, plenty of time to binge the entire season. Post-trial, it is $9.99/month. Fancy going ad-free? That will cost $18.99/month. Or grab the Disney+ bundle starting at $10.99/month to stream even more. King of the Hill trailer
