Monsignor Martinez is a fictional television show shortened for Los Dias Y Las Noches de Monsignor Martinez (The Days and the Nights of Monsignor Martinez) and aired within the King of the Hill series on Channel 84. The Hill family would watch it every night at 9pm. It is a Spanish language TV show depicting a Spanish Catholic priest (played by actor Eduardo Felipe) who is a mercenary, and is often caught in action while at church.
In 2025, a reboot aired, starring Martinez' son, who is also a priest seeking vengeance for his father's murder.
His catchphrase, "Vaya con Dios", is often spoken when dispatching an adversary, and means "Go with God" in Spanish. He is voiced by Mike Judge.

Trivia[]
- A pilot episode of a live action spin-off series based on Monsignor Martinez was developed, but never aired. Although the rejection was never known, actor David Herman (who played the character John Smith in the pilot) speculates that it was due to FOX being uncomfortable with a show that revolved around a priest "going around shooting at people". The pilot was briefly posted onto YouTube until being taken down for a copyright claim. As a result of a lack of archival efforts, the pilot was thought to have been lost until a VHS copy of it was discovered by a private collector in 2020, and was made public in 2021.[1][2][3]
