Jeannette's This and That: Mike Judge

"John Altschuler, who ran the show for the last seven/eight years, had written this character named Lucky and described him as looking like 'Tom Petty without the success.' And we thought, what if we tried to get Tom Petty? And he said, 'Yeah, I'll do it.' And he was great, just killed at the table read. Then he said, any time you want me to do it, I'll do it. Turns out he really meant it." (2009)

"We had all grown up on his music, that unique voice of his, and to have him as the voice of Lucky on King of the Hill was just wonderful. He was always a pleasure to work with – such a funny guy. He will be greatly missed." (2017)
