Everything about Hank Kingsley totally explained
Henry "Hank" Joseph Kingsley, Jr. is a
fictional character played by
Jeffrey Tambor on the
American television series The Larry Sanders Show. The character was known for his "Hey now!" catchphrase, a takeoff on
Ed McMahon's "Hi-yoooo!"
Howard Stern can often be heard saying it.
Hank can be considered a foil to Larry. Where Larry is neurotic and narcissistic, Hank is open and genial. Unlike Larry, Hank is more than willing to lend his name to commercial products and tries to cultivate a cult of personality through his (little-read) fan club, newsletters, and so on. Hank tends to be dense and is frequently the butt of the jokes of others without realizing it.
He is generally disrespected among his coworkers because of his ego and dimness. Hank will often act humble and unassuming, especially on camera or in front of media executives and other influential persons; however, he's condescending and often quite nasty to anyone who he perceives to be "below" him in status. Hank spends considerable time focused on furthering his career, often endorsing questionable products and working behind Larry's back to ensure his enduring presence on the show, even when Larry is being scrutinized.
He is summarily described by producer Artie, who says that Hank means well, but that "he keeps his brain at home in a box."
