Kahn Souphanousinphone, a character from King of the Hill, has undergone some significant changes in the new revival series which takes place about a decade after the original show ended. Here are the key points about what happened to Kahn:
- Kahn and his wife Minh are either separated or in the process of separating in the new series. This separation is hinted at through scenes of them arguing in the new opening sequence and Minh being seen more often without Kahn, including socializing with other characters. Kahn himself has not appeared in the new revival episodes so far, which raises questions about his current situation.
- Kahn has been recast for the revival. Originally voiced by Toby Huss, the role is now voiced by Ronnie Chieng, an Asian actor, reflecting a move toward more culturally appropriate casting.
- It seems Kahn is no longer living on the same street as the old gang and might have moved on to do his own thing, though his full story in the revival will become clearer as the series progresses.
- There is also a reference in the new series to Kahn’s late mother, Laoma, confirming she passed away since the original show's timeline.
- Toby Huss, the original voice actor, is not reprising the role but has taken over the voice of another character, Dale Gribble, after the passing of the original actor.
Overall, Kahn's character is evolving with the new series, with his marriage in turmoil or ended and his presence less central, reflecting the passage of time and changes in the characters' lives.
