After "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" was canceled following the breakup of the 
couples marriage, Sonny Bono hosted his own variety show. He brought with him
the same writers, same producers, and cast from the previous show. Unfortunately,
it just didn’t work without Cher. The comedy show lasted just 13 weeks before it was 
canceled.
