Phil Robertson
New ‘Duck Dynasty’ Says Goodbye …
Sweet Clip Added to Episode
Published
Phil Robertson may be gone, but the team behind “Duck Dynasty” is keeping his memory alive … paying tribute to him during an episode of the new revival show.
The Robertson family patriarch — who passed away just a week ago — will appear in archival footage from the premiere episode of “Duck Dynasty: The Revival.”
The clip shows Phil listening to an impassioned speech from his son, Willie, who asks for the elder Robertson’s thoughts.
PR gives him a big thumbs up — and, then the clip cuts to the in memoriam.
It’s the only part of the show that will touch on Phil’s death … ’cause sources connected to the show told us they wouldn’t be picking cameras back up to capture the family’s reaction.
We’re told the family will address Phil’s death in season 2 … in order to stay true to the show’s authenticity.
Phil passed away last week … a few months after his family revealed he was fighting a battle with Alzheimer’s.
Robertson starred on “Duck Dynasty” from 2012 to 2017 — though he was briefly suspended for making controversial comments in 2013. He was the original founder of the Duck Commander company.
Phil was 79.
RIP
