Comedian and “The Daily Show” host/correspondent Ronny Chieng has joined the cast of Hulu’s upcoming “King of the Hill” revival, taking over as the voice of fan-favorite character Kahn Souphanousinphone.

Chieng joins the show as a recurring guest star when “King of the Hill” returns for a long-awaited Season 14, with ten episodes set to bow Aug. 4 on Hulu. He assumes the gig from Toby Huss, who previously voiced Kahn through the show’s first 13 seasons, from 1997 to 2009. In the revival, Huss has now moved over to voice Dale Gribble starting with Episode 7, tapping in to replace the late Johnny Hardwick.

I'm happy for Ronny, he's hilarious, but I'm curious why the original voice actor couldn't just continue.
