Nancy Gribble
Nancy Gribble (née
Hicks) (
voiced by
Ashley Gardner) is a character on the
animated series King of the Hill. She is the wife of
Dale Gribble and mother of
Joseph Gribble. She is friends with
Peggy Hill and worked as the weathergirl for the local
television station, Channel 84 News until she was replaced by a
meteorologist. She now works as a co-anchor for the station ("Gone With The Windstorm"). Nancy had a 14-year-long affair with
John Redcorn, a
Native American medicine man who frequently spent long hours with her, ostensibly to heal her headaches. This affair is known by essentially all the neighbors, perhaps even Bobby. Peggy was the last to realize, being told by Hank in the end. Dale and Joseph are seemingly the only ones who clearly do not know. Nancy broke up with Redcorn in the season 4 episode "Nancy's Boys". Her husband, though a
paranoid conspiracy theorist, suspects neither the affair nor Joseph's true parentage; his ignorance, combined with the fact that everybody else knew about it, was a recurring joke on the series. She tends to call everyone "Shug" (diminutive form of "sugar").
