He is also on the television show Duck Commander, a hunting show on the Outdoor Channel, where he played football at Louisiana Tech University.

He earned a master's degree in education and spent many years teaching. Since doing an interview with GQ magazine in 2013, Robertson's homosexual behavior was suspectable, he was the object of controversies.

A&E suspended him from Duck Dynasty as a result.

A&E suspended the suspension after nine days after facing a strong backlash from his backers.

Early life and education

Robertson was born in Vivian, Louisiana. He was the fifth of seven children of Merritt (née Hale) and James Robertson. The family lived in harsh circumstances, with no electricity, toilet, or bathtub because of financial hardships in his childhood. The family rarely went out of town to buy groceries and instead lived off the fruits and vegetables they grew in their garden; deer, squirrels, fish, and other game they hunted and fished; and the pigs, chickens, and cattle raised.

"It was the 1950s when I was a young boy, but we lived like it was the 1850s — but we were always smiling, healthy, and content, no matter what the circumstances." Robertson's book, "Happy, Happy, Happy."

Robertson's restored log cabin birth home is halfway between Vivian and Hosston. Nathan Hale, Robertson's cousin, owns the property.

Robertson, a high school football, baseball, and track athlete, earning him the opportunity to attend Louisiana Tech in Ruston on a football scholarship in the late 1960s. He was a first-string quarterback for the Bulldogs at Tech, ahead of Pro Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw, the first overall pick in the 1970 NFL Draft. Bradshaw caused a media blitz when he arrived at Tech in 1966, after he was recognized as a football hero from Shreveport. Robertson was a year ahead of Bradshaw and served as the starter for two seasons in 1966 and 1967, but he did not play in 1968.

Robertson recorded 179 of 411 passing attempts for 2,237 yards during his time at Louisiana Tech. He threw 12 touchdowns but had 34 interceptions. Robertson had been thought to be a natural performer, but Robertson was more concerned with hunting. "Phil Robertson, who loved hunting more than football," Bradshaw remarked on Robertson's love for hunting, saying, "Phil Robertson, who loved hunting more than he loved football." He'd come to practice directly from the woods, squirrel tails fell out of his pockets, duck feathers were tied on his clothes, and duck feathers were tied on his jackets. He was obviously a good shot, so no one was offended."

When Paul Harvey approached Robertson with a request to play for the Washington Redskins, he declined because football conflicts with his hunting. In addition, football was solely about giving up his scholarship to him, while Bradshaw lived and breathed the game. "I went for the money, and I chased after the ducks," Robertson explained.

Robertson obtained a bachelor's degree in physical education and a master's degree in education.

Personal life

"Miss Kay" Carroway, Robertson, and Marsha "Miss Kay" Carroway first appeared in 1964 as "high school sweethearts." The couple were married in 1966. Despite early challenges in their marriage due to Robertson's "sex, heroin, and rock 'n' roll life," a 2013 Yahoo TV correspondent Kelly Woo referred to the Robertsons' union as a "long-standing, rock-solid union." Alan, their first son, was born while attending college.

Robertson, a devout Christian, a senior and elder at the White's Ferry Road Church of Christ in West Monroe, is outspoken about his faith. He had various personal challenges in his 20s, including excessive alcohol use, resulting in a separation in the marriage for a short time, and he praises a new religious awakening for being able to handle the difficulties. Robertson condemns abortion as a violation of the Declaration of Independence. In public appearances, he regularly speaks about the subject. Robertson, a joint author Mark Schlabach, released a memoir titled Happy, Happy, Happy.

In a 2013 special election, Robertson promoted Vance McAllister, a Republican candidate for the Robertson family's home district, Louisiana's 5th congressional district. McAllister, who had never held political office, defeated state senator Neil Riser, the thought-to-be front runner. Many attributed McAllister's come-from-behind victory to Robertson's endorsement. In 2016, Phil Robertson endorsed Ted Cruz for President. Robertson, a Cruz defection, dropped out of the race, but Robertson, who attended Cannes, supported Donald Trump for President Donald Trump. In the Alabama run-off election, he endorsed Roy Moore for the Senate. He went and made a speech in his defense of the Ten Commandments being on display in courtrooms during his primary rally.

Robertson filled the void in either December 2016 or January 2017, after Ben Carson resigned as the chairmanship of American Legacy Center's "Fight for the Court" project was announced.

Phil learned he had a daughter named Phyllis from a 1970s affair, according to the magazine on May 28, 2020.
