Singleton joined the cast of ‘’Swamp People’’, a reality action television show on History Channel in 2016, during its seventh season. This series is primarily focused on a group of Louisiana residents who go hunting for alligators during September, as only that month is legally available for this activity. Once the season is over, the participants return to their everyday activities and jobs. Many of them are professional hunters, and hunt other animals or go fishing for a living. Alligator hunting has been broadcast on ‘’Swamp People’’ for seven years, showing some of the most engaging hunters in the Bayou area spending the season hunting and wrestling the large reptiles.
In 2016, Gerard teamed up with his friend Robert ‘’Frenchy’’ Crochet and joined the cast; the duo has known each other since childhood. Frenchy was the first one to be approached by the producers of the show, and as he needed a partner to work with, he called Gee to join him. Robert stated that he wanted to be in the team with his friend because he knows Louisiana waters. The whole cast of the show is divided into teams, with each team having a quota of ‘gators that they must fill. The teams also compete with each other in terms of numbers caught, weight and size, and speed . Gerard agreed to join the cast, but was skeptical about it, however, the duo got along well from the very beginning of the show, as their work ethics are similar, so they established a successful partnership, and instantly gained popularity among the audience. Their relationship earned them the nicknames Salt and Pepper.
After the season is over, both Gerard and Frenchy are fishing in order to provide support for their families. In addition to starring in the latest season of ‘’Swamp People’’, the footage including Gee and Frenchy hunting alligators can be seen in ‘’Swamp People: Blood and Guts’’, the enhanced and updated version of ‘’Swamp People’’ which aired on 15 February 2016. In the latest episodes of ‘’Swamp People: Blood and Guts’’, the audience was able to see Gee and Frenchy battling a cannibal alligator, and filling their tags with large reptiles. Unlike his colleagues, Gee sells his prey directly to the customer, and not to the buyer – the middleman.
When it comes to his personal life, there isn’t much information available about his relationship status. Gee stated that he enjoys being in the show and not having an actual boss. Gerard and Frenchy are said to be likable and good-hearted in real life as well. They are also known for their hospitality.
