What did Savannah Chrisley say?
“We’re going to touch on where we’re at today, Mom and Dad being gone, how we’re coping with it, how we get through it,” Savannah revealed. “Also too, having two kids and all of us stepping in to make sure that they have what they need emotionally, psychologically, physically, all the things, I feel like there’s a level of humor to it as well," she added.
Before Savannah said, "Well, you do know, we're talking to a few production companies about doing another show," the team of three joked that the family's upcoming program should be called 'Nanny Knows Best.'
Later, Savannah questioned Nanny Faye about the possibility of doing another performance. "I'm ready to go work," she said. "I'm ready to walk down that highway any day ... I'm ready," she added.
Savannah said, "tons of production companies have reached out and networks that want to do a show." Nanny Faye jested, "We'll say 'Well look at these Bounce Back Chrisleys," reports People.
Savannah likes the concept "because it's so true," she says. "At the end of the day, we're not going to let this stop us from moving forward," Savannah added. "The sun's gonna come up, and the sun's gonna come down," said Nanny Faye. "We have no control over it. What we have control is we're gonna get up and dust our pants off today and get to going. And we're gonna let the world see that we're really who we were. We love each other, we're gonna walk this walk and talk this talk," replied Savannah.
Savannah claimed that despite the factual nature of 'Chrisley Knows Best,' which is presently in its tenth season, the family didn't have many opportunities to voice their ideas. "It became more of a comedy than it was reality," said Savannah. But she adds, "We had fun doing it because we all got to work together, so we got to be around each other," confirming Nanny Faye's statement that they had fun.
She affirmed that the family won't hold back on what they're going through while Todd and Julie are away in their new reality show. "We're going to touch on where we're at today, Mom and Dad being gone, how we're coping with it, how we get through it. Also too, having two kids and all of us stepping in to make sure that they have what they need emotionally, psychologically, physically, all the things, I feel like there's a level of humor to it as well," said Savannah.
At the conclusion of her podcast, Savannah stated "life goes on" and they must adjust to their "new normal." She thinks a new reality series "will be heartwarming. It'll break your heart, you'll laugh ..."
What happened with Todd and Julie Chrisley?
Todd and Julie Chrisley, both 50, were given a combined term of 19 years in prison by a federal judge in November for tax fraud.
