Donny & Marie is an American talk show hosted by Donny and Marie Osmond, [1] that aired in syndication from September 1998 to May 2000 and was executive produced by Dick Clark, Charles Cook and Merrill Osmond. [2] The show had a "house band", featuring Jerry Williams (musical director/keyboards), Kat Dyson (guitar), Paul Peterson (bass), and Nick Vincent (drums), and would also occasionally perform with musical guests. Though the show received back-to-back nominations for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host in 2000 and 2001, Columbia TriStar Television cancelled the show after two seasons, due to low ratings.
