Josie Duggar makes her adorable acting debut in Duggar Thanksgiving video

 

Four-year-old Josie Duggar made her acting debut in a home video published Friday on the Duggar Kids Studios YouTube page. 

The tot appears on a Thanksgiving skit with her brother Jason, and pretends to stuff her face with stuffing, cranberry sauce and turkey. 

The "19 Kids and Counting" children created their first YouTube channel, Duggar Studios, earlier this month, then moved to a new channel last week.

The channel mostly features music videos of the Duggars lip-synching to country songs, and also stars the Bates children of "United Bates of America" fame. 

The videos posted so far that allow comments have received a positive response.

"I love this. Great song & great video," Lizette Rodriguez wrote regarding the "Enjoy the Ride" music video.

"This must've taken a while to shoot!" Chance Rogers posted on the "Good Morning" video's page. "It turned out really good though! Good job on the commitment to the video boys and good luck on future videos!"

Josie is the first Duggar daughter to appear in one of the videos, but the effort has received support from big sister Jill. 

"Everyone has to check out my brother's YouTube channel 'Duggar Studios' to see their latest music video 'Happiness' #duggarguys #batesguys #lawbates #happiness #jillmdillard," she shared on Instagram.

The "Happiness" video features the Duggar and Bates boys lip-syncing Lawson Bates' rendition of "Happiness is the Lord," which includes plenty of yodelling. The boys also play the ukulele, guitar, accordion, and violin in the free-spirited music video.

The Bates and Duggar families combine their efforts again in the lip-synced music videos for Ricky Skaggs' "Enjoy the Ride," and Marty Robbins' "Big Iron."

The latter video is hilarious, and features choreographed fights, enthusiastic acting, and a literal iron on the actor's hip. "I've seen some funny things... and then there's this..." the video's caption read.
