I think that certainly when we started the show, did we ever believe we would do 100 episodes?
I dont think anyone believes that.
Did we think the set was going to make it for six seasons?
We certainly hoped and prayed and handed that over to the good Lord above when we started.
He has continued to bless it.
Theres a relatability factor that has resonated so deeply, and that is the blessing.
We dont stomp them when theyre down.
I dont find that to be the case.
I come from a very middle-class upbringing in rural South Carolina.
My parents worked in a textile factory.
One day Im gonna have a car like that.
What those shows did for me, they instilled a dream.
They showed me that there is something better.
The first part of my life, I chased those dreams.
Ive owned more real estate than I can count.
But making the money was the easy part.
Dealing with the heartache that travels with it is what they dont prepare you for.
I look back at the high point of my company, I was making $500,000 a month.
I can tell you now, those were some of the loneliest days.
As a reality show.
But the world accepted us and accepted this show as a comedy.
We choose to laugh.
Ive had three children that have basically grown up on television.
They know what their roots are.
When your children start thinking that no no longer applies is when you lose your children.
And we never gave in to that.
My children have never had access to all of their money, that money went into the trust.
At 30 years old theyll be wealthy, right now they need to work.
