What The Cameras Don't Show You On Chrisley Knows Best

Out of all the Chrisleys, there's probably no one more funny or outspoken than Todd Chrisley. The Chrisley Knows Best star is famous for dishing out funny one-liners and dad jokes with great comedic timing on-camera, like this one: "What happens at four o'clock in the morning, you're reminded of nine months later," (via E! News). 

Todd is so funny that doubters have questioned whether or not those are his jokes — and they night not be. "Todd uses a team of comedy writers for his show, and has been using them to write dialogue for several seasons," a source told RadarOnline. "Todd does not come up with this stuff on his own, and is not as funny as people think."

But, according to a Southern Living writer, who interviewed the doting father in 2015, Todd is just as funny and quotable as he is on the show. "The show isn't scripted," they wrote. "Difficult as it might be to believe, [Todd] Chrisley speaks this crisply, this quotably." But if the show is scripted, the cameras won't show you.
