He told Extra: ‘I’m gonna be really really honest with you.

‘I’m so happy for Amazon (which airs the show), I’m so happy for Jill, she started this story, from her gut, from her heart…There’s so many people who watch this…It’s about family, families will realize, every family has a secret, and every family laughs and cries at Thanksgiving and that is our show.’
