In last night’s season five premiere, Rebecca, the 24-year-old adopted daughter of Willie and Korie, returns home from her internship in Los Angeles. Willie is concerned because she has no job lined up. He worries that she’ll end up like Jep, his little brother, who “lived with Mom and Dad forever” and ended up spoiled rotten. Willie later finds that he has nothing to worry about, since Rebecca had been thinking of starting her own business all along. Just like her daddy!

Jep Nails It!

Wednesday night’s Duck Dynasty Christmas special had the Robertson clan preparing for a Nativity scene for their local church. During the rehearsal, Jep Robertson obsesses over his single line and worries that he may not get it right. His fellow cast members are no help. They ridicule him and tell him that his part, the Innkeeper, is irrelevant and there is no reason to worry about it.

  • “A wise man would say satche...

If you want to see a preview of the show, head on over to Entertainment Weekly and see an exclusive preview video.
