Non-family
Bates Family
The most often recurring guests (other than relatives) are the Bates Family from Tennessee. Because they are so similar to the Duggars (having 19 kids of their own), they have become close friends. In 2012, there was a spin-off series featuring the Bates Family, called United Bates of America. They starred on their own show, Bringing Up Bates from 2015 to 2021.
Other notable guests
- Kirk Cameron (actor) – two episodes (in seasons 2 and 6).
- Bethany Hamilton (professional surfer) – season 5, episode 6.
- Dan Harris of Good Morning America – season 7, episode 12.
- Dolly Parton (singer) – two episodes in season 3.
- Charles Stanley (minister) – season 6, episode 3.
- Meredith Vieira of The Today Show.
