Donny & Marie is an American talk show hosted by Donny and Marie Osmond, that aired in syndication from September 1998 to May 2000 and was executive produced by Dick Clark, Charles Cook and Merrill Osmond. 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. The show was a reboot of the earlier Donny & Marie television show, which ran from 1976 to 1979.
