Carrie Underwood receives support ahead of Trump inauguration
On ABC’s “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg defended Carrie Underwood’s right to perform at the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson’s health is “not good” right now, according to his son and former co-star.
Jase Robertson opened up about his father’s health on a Wednesday episode of the family’s podcast “Unashamed With the Robertson Family.”
“The number one question I get everywhere I go: ‘How’s your dad doing?’” he said during the episode. “Now, I’m just giving the blunt truth: I say, ‘Not good.’”
The family patriarch has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
He added that the Robertson family is “doing the best we can.” Despite their dad’s health concerns, Robertson revealed that their beloved mom Kay Robertson, 77, is recovering after a fall.
“For my mom, it’s been a lot better this past week, because she was really not doing good,” he told listeners. Robertson made a shocking revelation, suggesting that the family thought the matriarch might die.”We were kind of dealing with the fact that maybe this is it,” he said in the episode, adding that “that’s what it seemed like in the moment. It seemed close there, so it was difficult.’
‘Duck Dynasty’ returning to TV screens summer 2025
The Robertson family health update comes as “Duck Dynasty” is set to return to A&E this summer.
In January, the cable network announced the reboot of the hit show in a press release, saying the show will follow the Robertson family as “they grapple with mapping out the future of Duck Commander, watching the kids navigate marriage, children and businesses of their own, and passing down the family legacy.”
The reboot, “Duck Dynasty: The Revival,” will follow Duck Commander heir Willie Robertson and his wife Korie along with their sprawling family of six children who live on their Louisiana land — and yes, fan favorites Uncle Si and Miss Kay are returning, too. A&E has ordered two seasons, with 20 episodes each, of the reboot.
Phil Robertson is not expected to appear as a main cast member on the show. In 2013, he courted nationwide backlash and garnered support making remarks in GQ magazine that some considered anti-gay, which led A&E to put him on “indefinite hiatus.” Although he was sidelined from the hit series, the suspension was later called off.
“Going back on A&E feels a little like going back home. We’re thankful for all who have followed along as our family has grown and expanded and can’t wait to get cameras rolling again on all our new adventures, or perhaps misadventures,” Willie and Korie Robertson said in a joint press release during the announcement.
