[3] A July 1997 article from USA Today revealed that the upcoming season would include guest appearances from Troy Aikman, Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Chris Rock, Green Day and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

The crossover featured the voice of Mike Judge, with Daniels (an ex-Simpsons writer) explaining to USA Today that, "In the world of King of the Hill, The Simpsons exists only in that Bobby has a Bart doll.

"[3] In the episode "Traffic Jam", the comedian character guest voiced by Chris Rock was originally called "Busta Nut" in the script.

He went on to write, "the show looks to have more of an edge this year; one future episode finds Hank and Dale mistaking crack for fishing bait, and the humor in week one is already carrying a more subversive tone without losing its human touch.

[10] When Hank and Kahn collide with each other's cars, they are both forced to attend traffic school courses taught by a raunchy black comedian (Chris Rock) named Roger "Buddha" Sack, who irritates Hank but becomes an eager Bobby's comedy mentor--which becomes a fraught situation when Bobby misinterprets Buddha's advice and finds inspiration from neo-Nazi websites.

After Hank is critical of his lazy and entitled behavior, Bobby gets a job as a concession boy at the Arlen race track, where he discovers that his boss (David Herman) is a mentally disabled sociopath.
