I’m a 70yo Veteran and I grew up on Long Island NY and always enjoy Don Knotts. Every time I would watch the Andy Griffith show or any of his movies it would always make me laugh and smile. When he passed away I was very sad. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
I had been in Kentucky visiting family and the flight back to Florida was VIA Detroit first. In Detroit I get bumped up to first class. The guy I set next to had on an expensive suit, brief case and sun glasses, me being from Florida I thought nothing of the sunglasses. This guy starts up a conversation while we were still at the gate and we ended up talking to Atlanta. We walked through the airport, got on an escalator and he took off the sunglasses. I said you look just like Don Knotts and he smiled, I said oh you are Don Knotts. One of the nicest people I had ever flown with or had a conversation with.
No matter what this child Karen claims, this should have been kept private, her father Mr. Don Knott's was a wonderful comedian, a fantastic actor, a good man, friend and obviously took good care of his family. I will always see this man as the wonderful comedian that he was, and he will ALWAYS be missed. This should all have remained private. Shame on this " daughter", this was NOT something to be noted. Her father was a WONDERFUL ACTOR. Shame on you, Karen😞😢
I don't see anything his daughter wrote about, that shouldn't have been said or told about. Don knots was a wonderful actor and one of the best comedians, to ever grace the programs. There just wasn't anyone, ever, who could match him in acting.
That is why Don passed away I have heard all kinds of things but it is nice to hear the truth thank you Karen for letting us know the truth about your dad. He was amazing person and I am so sorry you lost your dad sending prayers to you and your family.
I have a few of his movies 😀 I told my youngest son about Don Knotts and how funny he was. This is when my son was six yrs old. So, I bought two of his movies The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and The Incredible Mr. Limpet. I'm still adding more of his movies. Boy did he laugh so hard and so did my daughter. That brought joy to my heart because they enjoyed those movies just as much as I did. Mr. Knotts was such a beautiful little man. Thank you for all the great movies and tv shows and all the laughs. Gone but certainly not forgotten. Rest In Peace 🕊️🙏🏾💐💕💝
LOVED Don Knotts & it was a really awesome thing to note I use to work with one of his close in blood relatives back in the day. She shared his last name & was from WV also
Cream always rises to the top . He did that. Steve Allen, another great enterainer in his own right, introduced Don to viewers, doing a comedy skit on his 1950s variety show helping him to gain notoriety.

Please remember Don Knotts 🙏 as he.would of.wanted you to REST IN PEACE.Mr. Don. Knotts, JOB.WELL DONE . GOD BLESS ,.BE SAFE, AND.BE HAPPY AND.SMILE PLEASE SHOW KINDNESS 🙏 TO ONE AND.ALL
He made the show Andy would have never made it without Don face it he was the best.ill miss him .why can't we have a good show like that again They made our world smile
Unfortunately, this is a common theme in the entertainment industry. More than a few entertainers have terrible childhoods who look for acceptance from an audience. Thank you, Don, for a lifetime of enjoyment that I have been lucky enough to experience.
Why is it that when a celebrity's past is revealed it separates what we see on screen as opposed to reality? Does anyone think that because he was funny and famous he was always that way? Many entertainers had tough childhoods...Jackie Gleason to name one. These people were super special because they were vulnerable to the fringes of society. It reminds of a Frankie Valli song...RAGDOLL. These people scratch and clawed and some never made it to the top. Many did. Who can you say had a perfect life? I can think of no-one. Although his childhood was somewhat erratic in nature he had the fuel and courage to ride out the bumps in life to make it to the top. That us really what life is about. God gives us every day as a gift to succeed. What we do with that gift is up to us. Never give up.
I have always loved Don Knotts in his movies I have some of his movies but hearing about his childhood is very sad I am so happy that the world had a wonderful comidean like Don Knotts he is surely missed by those who loved him
It's a shame, people can't leave stars history/background alone. They are people! Things happen to them. Let us, the audience, remember them for the years of enjoyment they gave to us.
With celebrities, especially back then, there are only 2 people who know the REAL truths about everything. Those 2 would be the actor and the other person that actor was supposedly involved with. I don’t believe any of the supposed things that the publicists want us all to believe. Too many lies. Like my father taught me..."believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see." He is sooo right, and a very wise man. 💜
And, we can never really "know" someone unless we've lived under the same roof. I accept people for what they seem on the surface, but also accept that I really don't know them, even friend and associates.
Don Knox on TV is a very funny man and everybody seem to like the Andy Griffith show and what a funny little man and then he went to the movies and some of them he played I guess with the Disneyland Disney and he was quite a wonderful he made everybody's life it's a sad thing in a lifetime now that we lose people that bring us to Harmony Sandra K Hicks Kirbyville Texas
I'd heard ab0ut his childhood before. /Aside from that, to this day, I still watch the Andy Griffith Show. When Don left the show it was just not the same, so I only watch the episodes with Don Knotts in them. Best sitcom EVER!
Don Knots was a joy. Yes, Andy Griffin Was the all and all. But, Don Knots brought joy and happiness and joy. into our lives But as children in those times, were good times. \\\
People have called me Barney Fife from early teen age years,, I went to my sons house this Christmas and we took pictures and put apps on them and and in my pictures I looked like Don Knotts ,, I have watched Don Knotts since I was a child and not every thing but many things ,,I have had in common with him according to this video ,,, I Loved all his TV shows and Movies ,,,He was a very strong man and highly intelligent and talented .. I was in hospital ER this December ,,with my heart and they had TV the Dr said watch some TV ,, I said what all you got on there he said everything just search what you want ,, and laying in the ER with my heart scared ,,, I choose The Andy Griffith show out of all others shows I could think of ,, It was the show where the Goat eat the Dynamite ,,,heheh
No matter what happens to you you can still make a good life for yourself and become successful. Always pursue your dreams no matter what goals you have.
uhhhh I don't know if you know this but Don Knotts and John Ritter are 2 very different people. Three's Company was John Ritter. I think you got them a little confused in the video clips lol.
Who needs to know this. This is bs. You make it sound like he was tortured. Shame on his family for doing this to a very funny man who was very funny. I liked it when he was a fish in the incredible mr limpet. This is so dumb. Leave the man alone he is dead and can’t defend himself. Terrible. I could care less.
BULL! She put up with that crap of having that man have a border sleep in the house and her child sleep in the kitchen? Put his drunken and make believe bed ridden butt out.
Yep. Ever since the pandemic began, many have begun to create fake and stupid videos and what bugs me the most are the videos about stars and musicians that we "had no idea who they were, but now the truth comes out!". Honestly, I DON"T CARE.
When are y'all gonna get it? I refuse to listen to a computerized "voice"! If you are too damn lazy to voice your videos, You will never hear 9f me listening to them!
You can bet every celebrity is not R.I.P. "If you are a friend of this world your an enemy of GOD." It also states in the BIBLE "You either please GOD or you please man". ALL CELEBRITIES ARE IN HELL, THAT'S JUST A FACT! Study your KJV BIBLE."There will be no peace or rest only wailing and gnashing teeth."
Then study your bible more, I loved don knotts, bernie mac and a lot of them just like you. I didn't want to say that, but according to the bible they all are...it's just a sad fact.
I hope you take the time to read everything I'm about to tell you because your soul is worth it. Go to ANYBODY that "thinks they know the bible" ask them What is the Trinity here on earth and they will tell you God, The Word and the holy ghost...that is the Trinity in Heaven. The Trinity here on earth is Spirit (Jesus Christ on the cross) Remember what came out of him when the Roman stabbed him with a spear? Water and Blood, that is the Trinity here on Earth Spirit, Water, Blood. You heard of Chris Angel the world famous magician look up photos of Chris Angel Believe posters and look at them the ONLY LETTERS THAT ARE SOLID WHITE ARE LIE in believe...Believe the lie believe the eye. You don't have to go to church you don't have to get baptized Here is The Bible way to Heaven you MUST say it with your voice. Dear JESUS I know that I am a sinner and I deserve to go to Hell. Please forgive me of all my sin and give me Eternal LIFE. I'm not trusting in my works, I'm not trusting in my religion. I'm only trusting in my Faith and Belief in you JESUS CHRIST. Thank you for saving me. AMEN you are now saved if you believe this prayer with all your heart, mind and soul. ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED. Anybody that tells you that if your saved and you commit suicide you will go to hell, then they were never saved in the first place. You will not find anywhere in the KJV Bible where it states if you commit suicide you will go to Hell because it's a lie You want to know what UFO'S are look up on you tube Trey Smith God in a nutshell and watch the video called Nephilims, fallen angels, demons, aliens and watch it and you will learn the truth. You want to grow in your spiritual discernment then look up Pastor Steven Anderson Faithful Word Baptist Church, no I'm not a baptist Christian I am a JESUS CHRIST Christian. You want to learn more look up The opening ceremony for the Cern Supercollider and watch it it's pure Demonic. If you want to know the 7 Spirits of God just google it. Quit storing your treasures here on Earth and start storing your treasures in Heaven...how? By spreading Fathers true gospel and save souls like I just saved yours simple.
