TALK SHOW HOST

In 1976, Dolly Parton hosted her variety show titled “Dolly!” She is pictured here with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, and all three are dressed like hippies, reflecting the fashion of the times.

The project lasted only a short time. Some speculate that the show’s cancellation was due to the rising popularity of sitcoms during that time, while others attribute it to the high production costs of the variety show format. It wouldn’t be Dolly’s last attempt at hosting a television show.
