  • Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour Episode 4 from August 22, 1971 when they were still a Summer Replacement Series. Sonny and Cher open the show singing "Games People Play" and then discuss Sonny's logic in their show returning as a Mid-Season Replacement in the Winter. Sorry for the quality of the old VHS tape.

    One of the funniest comedy exchanges I've seen by any double act. At their best, S and C were brilliant, really brilliant comics.

    If it wasn't 4 Salvatore Bono we wouldn't still be entertained by Cher ! No doubt a match made in heaven. Cher now in her 70's as Sonny wrote in his song we still hear on many stations "The Beat Goes On" 🇮🇹

    They were the best comedy team! Love when Sonny messes up "Do you know how stupid you think I am?" LOL

    This was the best comedic couple of the 70's. The love I felt for them was like Lucy & Desi in the 50s! RIP Sonny. I hope to see you in the afterlife. And God Bless u Cher

    Say what you want about Sonny, but he was an excellent song writer, and business man. His comedy timing, and interaction with Cher, is what made the opening of their show, the best part, week in, and week out. He allowed himself to play the fool, and took a lot of uncalled for abuse because of it. I watched it every week. RIP Sonny.

      It was always clear he was in on the joke and secure enough in himself to allow her to get the laughs. That's love and also show biz.

    Hilarious! Those two had great chemistry on stage. We used to watch this show every week when I was a kid. I am glad to see these videos because I was pretty young and don't remember specific skits very much...I just remember watching the show with my mom who actually looked a lot like Cher at the time.

    These two people are so honest and loved that they got to say a lot about everything important and this song is unfortunately still true, the only healthy world we see is on the television and internet but in real life it’s still this song

    Surprisingly engaging show and hosts, both of these folks look like they should be up there entertaining us. I gather CBS was none too pleased when they dropped out of the show because they got divorced.

    Truth be told...Cher was originally to shy to sing by herself.....he never really wanted to sing...or thought he was much of a singer...which..he wasnt...sonny was the original brains...behind thier success...Chers...unbeatable talent kept it going

    A lot of this material was from their club acts of the last few yrs prior to this show they had to perform to survive once the hits of the late 60’s ended.

    It was sad when he had his accident. Although some say it wasn't an accident. He was very saavy politically.

      He became a Republican but was a Democrat throughout the 1960's. He was at the 1968 Democratic Convention on platform for Robert Kennedy. After Kennedy's killing, Sonny was for Humphrey.

    Cher was a classy lady when she was with Sonny. She went from classy to sleazy afterwards and especially in the eighties. I only liked Cher when she was with Sonny in this show...

  • @scottjohnson9425

    At age 15, in 1971, I wasn’t old enough to understand why, but I didn’t like the demeaning way the dialogue went at the beginning of each episode. Sonny was the target of disdain all wrapped in comedy. Ah well, calling the love of your life and the father of your child and the primary reason you are rich, popular and have a TV show a “dummy” every week wasn’t “normal” to me. I never saw my mom do that to my dad , nor dad do it to mom, especially in front of friends, and my friends didn’t do that to me at school and it was just too much. Toxic is what I’d call it now.
    I complained at that young age out loud that it wasn’t right, it didn’t have a good “ vibe. “Something about it isn’t right,” is probably what I said because “the put down “vibe” continued each week, unlike in a “normal marriage where the woman or man is not supposed to embarrass the love of each others life in public. I didn’t say “vibe” until later but that’s what I meant. My parents had a lot of card parties on Saturday nights, with many many friends, and talk like that was NEVER spoken. You could feel uneasy watching it even now. Then low and behold they divorced….it wasn’t hard to imagine why, disdain over time can become reality if the pressures and sentiments become unbalanced. Love conquers all if love is what you value. Love is selfless not harming. Seems as though in my mind love of self became Cher’s way…and probably Sonny’s too. That divorce too, was a big thing in our family, nobody was divorced in either side of the extended family. So when that happened, with Chastity involved, that was very discombobulating to my mind. Something new. Parents didn’t do that..abandon their child. I probably said that this way, but what will chastity do? Apparently people didn’t stay together and a raft of comedy shows with a single parent began to flood the networks each new season afterwards.

    • @whewfan

      Sonny wouldn't have had to sing at all if it wasn't for Cher's early fear of singing in public. Cher needed Sonny on stage with her in the very beginning. If you look at the early 60s stuff, she doesn't have her eyes off him. She said looking at Sonny helped to get rid of the stage fright. Once they broke up for good professionally in the late 70s, Sonny's show biz career was more or less over, although he did appear in Airplane II and Hairspray. He also guest starred in shows playing a government official of some kid.
