The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour is an American
variety show starring American pop-singer
Cher and her husband
Sonny Bono. The show ran on
CBS in the
United States, when it premiered in August 1971. The show was canceled May 1974, due to the couple's divorce, though the duo would reunite in 1976 for the identically-formatted
The Sonny & Cher Show (a title sporadically used during the run of the
Comedy Hour), which ran until 1977.
