Yep, no joke, the Duke really did make a cameo appearance in the classic TV show, The Beverly Hillbillies!

Here's a link to watch the appearance:

And just to prove what kind of era it was back in this day of sanity in Hollywood, John Wayne negotiated, for his full pay, for this appearance ....

,,, a fifth of Jack Daniels bourbon!

It is attributed that when the show's producers asked about his pay, he said, "Gimme a fifth of bourbon -- that'll square it!"

Years before that he was on I Love Lucy which was just about the beginning of TV. Lucille Ball handled the money so he may not have gotten a full bottle of Jack.
