Willie Robertson, Jep and Uncle Si take ‘Duck Dynasty’ to ‘Late Night’ with Jimmy Fallon, talks Christman album
The boys from Duck Dynasty dropped by Late Night to hang out with Jimmy Fallon on Monday night.
Willie, Jep and Uncle Si were there, but family patriarch Phil Robertson was not. Willie used this as an opportunity to reveal how his father didn’t see the show being a success.
“We always thought there may be something there, and we just got an email out of the blue said, ‘Hey, I think you guys may have a big show,'” Willie said. “And so I went to talk to dad and said, ‘We could do a big show on a network.’ And he said, ‘Nah, that won’t work.'” Willie then added, “I remind him of that every week, though.”
The latest season premiere of “Duck Dynasty” broke cable ratings records, pulling in nearly 12 million viewers.
Duck Dynasty has become so popular that there are DVDs, shirts, merchandise and even Uncle Si’s just-released biography to complete the myriad of other Duck Dynasty products.
The family is even set to release a Christmas album called “Duck the Halls.”
Willie promised Fallon that the songs will “blow your pants off.”
Duck Dynasty airs every Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET on A&E. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon airs every weeknight at 12:37 a.m. ET on NBC.
