8. John Wayne Was Paid in Bourbon For His Appearance

John Wayne had a small role on the show during the fifth season. Throughout the episode “The Indians Are Coming” Granny kept mentioning that she wished John Wayne was there to help fight the “injuns,” and at the end of the episode he shows up. Not exactly a storyline we’d see today. As far as payment went John didn’t ask for much. He supposedly said: “Give me a fifth of bourbon, that’ll square it.”
