Editing Chuck Mangione (section)

==Acting career and television appearances==
In addition to music, Mangione has made a few appearances in television shows. In the ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]'' episode "Paradise Blues", Chuck Mangione portrays a fellow night club act along with TC's ([[Roger E. Mosley]]'s) former girlfriend. He performed two singles and has lines near the end of the show. In 1988, Mangione appeared on the hit family TV show ''[[The Elephant Show|Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show]]'' as "Little Boy Blue" playing his famous song.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mcall.com/news/mc-xpm-1989-09-01-2701408-story.html|title=This Kid Stuff is Big Time|work=[[The Morning Call]]|date=September 1, 1989}}</ref>

Mangione had a recurring voice-acting role on the animated television series ''[[King of the Hill]]''. In it he portrays himself as a celebrity spokesman for Mega Lo Mart, almost always wearing the white and red jacket from the cover of his ''Feels So Good'' album.<ref name=starsandcelebs>{{cite web|url=https://starsandcelebs.com/2000/09/mangione-chuck/|title=Chuck Mangione Interview|website=Starsandcelebs.com|date=September 30, 2000|access-date=July 30, 2019|archive-date=July 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190730171502/https://starsandcelebs.com/2000/09/mangione-chuck/|url-status=usurped}}</ref> The first episode of ''King of the Hill'' with Mangione originally aired on February 16, 1997. The episode featured an original score specifically recorded for the occasion. He continued to appear in episodes, a total of 10 more up until 2003. In the context of the series, Mangione chafes under an oppressive spokesperson contract with Mega Lo Mart (his contract had him appearing at every Mega Lo store opening, some 400 per year, leaving him no time to tour, record or be with his family). He eventually goes into hiding inside their store in Arlen, [[Texas]], the fictional town in which ''King of the Hill'' is set. Mangione is discovered by [[Dale Gribble]], who keeps his secret, in the episode "Mega-Lo Dale." After a long hiatus, the character of Chuck Mangione returned in May 2007 in an episode titled "[[Lucky's Wedding Suit]]". A [[running gag|recurring joke]] is that whatever tune he plays on his flugelhorn inevitably shifts into "Feels So Good" after a few bars. After the Mega Lo Mart blows up, Mangione states during a group therapy session that "every song I play now sounds like 'Feels So Good'." The series finale in 2009 included Mangione one last time, playing [[The Star-Spangled Banner|the National Anthem]] which segued into "Feels So Good". In an homage to the series, Mangione's album ''Everything For Love'' contains a track titled "[[Peggy Hill]]".<ref name=starsandcelebs/>
