THROWBACK MOMENT: Jase Robertson Reminisces About His Father Phil and Brother Willie’s Hilarious Duck Call Lesson on Conan
West Monroe, Louisiana — Just now, Duck Dynasty star Jase Robertson gave fans a good laugh as he looked back on one of the funniest — and most unforgettable — moments in Duck Commander history: the night his father Phil Robertson and brother Willie Robertson appeared on Conan O’Brien’s TBS show, turning a late-night set into a full-on duck call workshop.
With that familiar sparkle of mischief in his eyes, Jase told the story during a casual chat online, describing how his dad and brother took their duck-hunting world straight into Hollywood’s spotlight — and how Conan himself ended up at the center of the chaos.
“It was one of those moments,” Jase said, chuckling, “when our crazy family somehow made late-night TV history.”
The crowd that night on Conan’s show roared with laughter as Phil, ever the straight-faced patriarch, began explaining the art of duck calling to the unsuspecting host. Willie, the always-charismatic CEO of Duck Commander, played the part of good-natured ringmaster, teasing both his dad and Conan as the late-night comedian tried — and hilariously failed — to master the call.
“You’ve got to blow from your diaphragm, not your ego,” Phil famously quipped, sending the audience into hysterics.
According to Jase, that moment still stands as one of his all-time favorite Robertson memories — the kind of unscripted, wholesome comedy that made Duck Dynasty a household name. “Conan didn’t know what hit him,” Jase joked. “One minute, he’s talking TV ratings, the next he’s got Dad handing him a duck call and saying, ‘Son, this might just change your life.’”
The clip from that 2013 appearance has since become a cult favorite on YouTube, still racking up views more than a decade later. Fans old and new continue to share it as a classic example of what made the Robertsons so beloved — their down-to-earth humor, unfiltered family dynamic, and ability to make any situation feel like home.
Even today, the Robertsons’ influence stretches far beyond the duck blinds of Louisiana. Their mix of faith, family, and laughter continues to resonate through podcasts, charity work, and public speaking engagements — and through moments like this, which remind fans that genuine humor never gets old.
For Jase, revisiting that night brought back not just laughter, but a sense of pride in the family legacy. “We didn’t plan any of it,” he said. “That’s what made it so funny. Dad was being Dad. Willie was being Willie. And Conan — bless him — was just trying to survive the Robertsons.”
Fans flooded comment sections after Jase’s story, sharing how much they missed those Duck Dynasty moments that brought families together around the TV. “Nobody does humor like the Robertsons — it’s real, it’s kind, and it’s just good fun,” one fan wrote. Another added, “That Conan episode will always be legendary. You could tell everyone was laughing from the heart.”
Even years later, the clip captures everything the Robertsons stood for — authenticity, joy, and the ability to bring people together through laughter. It wasn’t polished television; it was pure, unscripted family fun.
As Jase put it, “You can take us out of the duck blind, but you can’t take the duck blind out of us.”
Whether teaching duck calls on late-night TV or sharing stories from the family’s Louisiana home, the Robertsons continue to remind the world that humor, humility, and heart never go out of style.
And thanks to moments like that unforgettable Conan appearance, the sound of laughter — and maybe a badly blown duck call or two — still echoes loud and clear.
