The first episode of the siblings' series debuted on January 23, 1976, on ABC. The show quickly became a Friday night favorite, blending music, comedy, and the duo’s undeniable charm.
The Osmonds welcomed a who’s who of the decade from music, television, and film. These star-studded guests were as key to the show’s success as the siblings’ charm, which shone through in sketches, musical numbers, and special performances.
Some of the memorable guest stars (per Woman's World) on the Donny & Marie Show included Farrah Fawcett, Vincent Price, Bob Hope, Andy Williams, Paul Lynde, Charro, Ruth Buzzi, Jerry Lewis, Milton Berle, and Michael Landon, and that was only during Season 1!
In his autobiography, Donny Osmond: Life is Just What You Make It, My Story so Far, Osmond shared how he and Marie became the youngest variety show hosts in network television history in 1976, at the ages of 18 and 16. The opportunity came after a week of co-hosting The Mike Douglas Show.
The Donny & Marie Show ran from 1976 through 1979 for a total of 78 episodes. The siblings would go on to host their own talk show from 1998 through 2000 and helm a Las Vegas residency from 2008 through 2019.
