Come And Knock On Our Door: Three’s Company Facts, Plus Where They Are Now

Don Knotts Was Intimidated?

DON KNOTTS, JOYCE DE WITT

Although Knotts was clearly a successful and established actor prior to the filming of Three’s Company, the man found himself intimidated on his first day on set. Using only one camera on The Andy Griffith Show, Knotts was not used to the newer filming approach with three cameras when first starting out. Apparently, the comic’s nerves subsided after receiving a 10-minute standing ovation when making his first appearance on camera.
