Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour
After Silverman offered the pair their own variety show, the pair didn’t look back. Their show, The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour debuted in 1971 as a summer replacement series, but swiftly returned the following year as an immediate hit. It reached the top 10, received 15 Emmy Award nominations during its time on air and even won one. At the same time as their variety series lived on, the pair revived their recording career too. The duo got two more top ten hits in “All I Ever Need Is You”, and “A Cowboy’s Work Is Never Done” in 1972.

Divorce
Despite success with Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, the pair’s marriage was on the rocks. Even though the show imploded, it remained in the top 10. A messy, very public divorce, ensued; eventually being finalized in June 1975. Cher even won a Golden Globe for Best Performance By an Actress in a Television Series in 1974. A divorce didn’t stop the pair from trying to make it on their own, however.
