For longtime fans of Chrisley Knows Best, few recurring guests were as memorable as Ronndell Smith.

Although he was never an official member of the Chrisley family, many viewers considered him part of the extended Chrisley universe thanks to his friendship with Chase Chrisley and his hilarious appearances throughout the series. (Monsters and Critics)

Chase’s Best Friend and Partner in Crime

The Comedy Night That Fans Still Remember

One of Ronndell’s most memorable appearances came when Chase recruited him to perform stand-up comedy during an event at the Chrisleys’ Juice Bar.
