Duck Dynasty' will continue with Louisiana's help, Lt. Gov Jay Dardenne says
Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne said Saturday that the state of Louisiana is prepared to find a way to produce the unscripted television juggernaut "Duck Dynasty" if the show's stars, the Robertson family, do not resolve their differences with the A&E network over controversial comments made by patriarch Phil Robertson to a GQ magazine. "If the Robertson family cannot come to an agreement with A&E and wants to continue the show, Louisiana already has the infrastructure in place to maintain their record-breaking program," Dardenne said.
"Duck Dynasty", the most popular show ever on cable television, takes place in and around West Monroe and helps drive the state's tourism industry. If the show doesn't continue, it would hurt the state economy, said Dardenne, whose public job includes promoting Louisiana tourism.
