The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour was a beloved American variety show that aired on CBS from 1971 to 1974, starring the iconic pop duo Sonny Bono and Cher. Known for its mix of comedy sketches, musical performances, and playful banter between the couple, the show became a cultural phenomenon of the early '70s.
Cher's glamorous outfits and sharp wit, paired with Sonny’s straight-man charm, created a unique dynamic that audiences loved. Popular recurring sketches included characters like “Vamp” and “The Old Couple.” The show featured guest stars, classic one-liners, and a closing segment where Sonny and Cher often sang “I Got You Babe,” reinforcing their image as America's sweethearts—even as their real-life marriage was unraveling.
