products and working behind Larry's back to ensure his enduring presence on the show, even when Larry is being scrutinized. Hank is shown to be relatively untalented as an on-air personality. In the "Hank's Contract" episode from the first season, the network, represented by its president Shel Davidoff, is so convinced about Hank's lack of options elsewhere in show business that they completely ignore his walk-off threats during contract renegotiations and refuse any of his demands. His limited performing talents become especially apparent in season six, during which it is continuously implied that Hank has no other opportunities after the show's end, as well as the first episode of the third season, in which Hank is forced to take a job reading lottery numbers for the local news.

As Larry was getting ready to end that day's show taping following an interview segment with Adam Sandler, Hank delivered the impromptu proposal into the camera without prior notifying Larry or the executive producer Artie to the latter's great displeasure. After Margaret says yes and Hank picks Larry to be his best man, Artie (inspired by Tiny Tim's 1969 wedding on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show that brought in huge ratings) is now the first to offer to have the wedding on the show, which Hank ecstatically accepts. Following an alcohol-fuelled bachelor party at a strip club with Ed McMahon coming along to party, Hank and Margaret get married on the show with Alex Trebek officiating the ceremony. The couple got divorced only a year later with Margaret initiating the split unable to deal with Hank's excessive personal and professional focus on Larry to the exclusion of everyone else in his life. Hank does not maintain any long term relationships after the divorce though is occasionally seen on dates while his interaction with strippers and female escorts is either shown or implied both before and
