A&E Network says Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will appear on the Season 6 premiere of "Duck Dynasty."

The News-Star reports that Jindal will be featured with the West Monroe Robertsons on the June 11 premiere.

Jindal traveled to the Duck Commander headquarters in February, where he presented the Robertson family with the inaugural Governor's Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence.

While there, the governor, who was accompanied by First Lady Supriya Jindal and their children, was apparently woven into the story line.

"It was really neat to have the governor on our show," Willie Robertson told The News-Star. "His family loves watching the show, and they all came up to West Monroe to participate.

"He did a great job and is used to cameras being around, so he was natural. And playing yourself always helps."

Jindal said he couldn't reveal his plot line because of a confidentiality agreement.

"My family and I had so much fun hanging out with the Robertsons and participating in the filming of Duck Dynasty was a highlight," Jindal said.

Louisiana's First Lady, Supriya Jindal, and Korie Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" recently took part in a celebration of giving new lives to adopted children, rappelling down a 24-story Baton Rouge building.

Friday's event was aimed at bringing awareness to the more than 300 foster care children who are available for adoption in Louisiana. Louisiana Family Forum organized the event, which is in its second year.

The Times-Picayune reports the women dropped more than 300 feet off One American Place. LSU Coach Les Miles took the plunge last year.

Robertson and her husband, Duck Commander CEO Willie Robertson, have two adopted children. She brought two of their five children, Sadie and John Luke, to participate.

Willie and Korie Robertson star on "Dynasty" with Willie’s father, Phil, and mother, Kay; his uncle, Si; and Willie’s siblings Jase and Jep.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
