Richard Thomas Reveals Who He Still Speaks to From ‘The Waltons’

Richard Thomas , the actor who played the iconic John-Boy Walton, recently revealed who he still speaks to from The Waltons nearly 50 years after the show ended.

During an interview with People published on May 26, Thomas, 74, reflected on the lasting love fans have for the ’70s historical drama series — including the show’s memorable catchphrase, “Good night, John-Boy.” Each episode of The Waltons ended with the family members saying goodnight to each other, and to this day, fans recite the line to him.
