Griffith Had the Jokes

There is always that one person that keeps work alive and entertaining. In this case, it was Andy Griffith. Even when they were not filming, he kept things interesting. He had the tag of being big on practical jokes and teasing others in general. He sounds like a fun but possibly exhausting person to work with!

Don’t you hate when someone calls you by one of your nicknames that you don’t really like? Well, Andy would call Knotts “Jess” which was short for his real name Jesse. It was his form of teasing because he knew Knotts did not like being called that by that name.
