Duck Commander
After retiring from the Army, Si Robertson began working at his brother Phil Robertson's Duck Commander business, designing reeds for all the duck calls.
In 2012, A&E gave the Robertsons their own show. "Duck Dynasty" premiered on March 21, 2012, and averaged 1.82 million viewers per episode during its first season. The series starred Si, Phil, and Phil's sons Willie Robertson, Alan Robertson, Jep Robertson, and Jase Robertson, with appearances by various other members of the Robertson family. The season three premiere was watched by 8.62 million viewers, and season four's premiere did even better, attracting 11.77 viewers.
In 2013, the Robertsons released the album "Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas," and Si performed "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and "The Night Before Christmas." The album reached #3 on the "Billboard" 200 chart and #1 on the Top Country Albums and Top Holiday Albums charts. The "Duck Dynasty" series finale aired on March 29, 2017.

Personal Life
Si Robertson married his wife, Christine, in 1971, and they have two children, daughter Trasa and son Scott, as well as eight grandsons. Robertson is a Christian and has said, "That's what got me through 65 years of life, my belief in God and what He's done for us and what He will do for us." Si became an advocate for better veteran care after his son, who served eight tours in Iraq in the Army, was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. In March 2020, Robertson was the victim of a death hoax after a satirical website reported that he had been "found unresponsive in the woods just a few miles south from the DD equipment warehouse." Since many people believed the fake news, Si addressed the rumor on social media, saying "There is a rumor going around that I have passed away. I'm still alive and kickin y'all! Don't believe everything said on the internet, just like my stories it's usually only 95% true!"
