On the premiere episode, Willie visits Duck Commander headquarters, where multiple Robertson family businesses take place including podcasts, their store and more.
Even though he is head of the business, he was completely out of the loop with his wife, Korie, taking the reins.
On the episode, Willie even announced his “semi-retirement” from the company, as he spent the episode trying to find his replacement.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal that despite Korie’s involvement in the company, she has been snubbed from the business.
According to Louisiana business records, Willie is president and director of Duck Commander INC, while his late father, Phil, is listed as the director.
Korie is not listed on the business license.
However, she is listed as a member on Duck Commander The Tour, LLC.
Willie is listed as the manager and the member.

On the premiere, Willie showed up to the Duck Commander warehouse.
He explained, “Duck Commander warehouse is totally different, five or six businesses. It’s got a museum, family history, pretty much everything we’ve ever said or done is up on the walls of the museum. The gift shop, we have podcasts, we’ve written books, it’s a lot for one man to manage.”
When Willie showed up to the warehouse, he didn’t know the name of the woman at the front desk.
When a producer asked who is in charge of the business in a confessional with Willie and Korie, he said, “I am still currently in charge of this business.”
Korie smiled and quipped, “For the most part.
“It’s kind of complicated now because other people have really stepped up and done a great job of taking over different aspects of it.”
Willie then said, “Well when something big comes up I still come.”
Korie shot back, “Every few months.”
Willie then spent time trying to find his office, which his daughter Sadie turned into a counseling center.
He then learned Korie runs the company meetings, which he didn’t know existed.
At the company meeting, Willie announced he is going to semi-retire and is looking for his replacement.
POOR RATINGS
The U.S. Sun previously reported Duck Dynasty: The Revival premiere had just 510,000 viewers for the episode.
While the show exceeded the current programs on A&E, ratings plummeted drastically compared to its heyday.
The highest Duck Dynasty episode was on August 14, 2013.
The season four premiere drew a whopping 11.8 million viewers, making it the number one nonfiction series telecast in history at that time.
Duck Dynasty ratings remained in the millions throughout the show’s 11 seasons.
The final episode on March 29, 2017 brought in 1,507,000 viewers.
Variety reviewed the episode, claiming the show will “bore” viewers “to tears.”
One viewer said after watching the premiere, “Tonight’s show was a huge disappointment. I’ll watch next week bc I want this to succeed. Hoping it gets legs and takes off.”
A second commented, “Not the same without Phil, Godwin, Martin and Jep.”
A third wrote, “This is nothing but them sitting on a couch watching episodes I’ve already seen literally 25x. Very disappointed.”
BACK ON TV
The Robertson family returned to A&E on June 1 with Duck Dynasty: The Revival, as the series will air on the network on Sundays.
The reboot follows Willie and Korie as they plot the future of their Duck Commander company.
The show also features their children, as they help their kids tackle adulthood and take over the family dynasty.
A week before the premiere, family patriarch Phil Robertson died at age 79 after a battle with Alzheimer’s.
The U.S. Sun previously reported fans will see the family’s struggle with Phil’s diagnosis on the reboot.
Robertson family members, including Jase and Uncle Si, also appear on the reboot.
