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 have starred in their own show, Bringing Up Bates since 2015.
Other notable guests
- Kirk Cameron (actor) – two episodes (in seasons 2 and 6).

- Dan Harris of Good Morning America – season 7, episode 12.
