Back on the Box
After a five-year hiatus, Marie Osmond returned to America’s TV screens in 2012. Ladies and gentlemen, first there was a one-off special… Marie Osmond, followed by a Hallmark Channel chat show titled Marie. With Osmond as host, the show received 320,000 viewers, setting a channel record, although it did not last long. After only 150 episodes, Marie was canceled. Osmond capitalized on her momentum by guest hosting The Talk alongside Sara Gilbert, Leah Remini, and Sharon Osbourne. It was a hit, and in 2019, Osmond was named permanent host. It was, like much of her later career, short-lived. Following on-screen conflicts with Osbourne, Osmond announced her departure from the program in 2020.
Star Treatment
Although Donny and Marie Osmond were no longer recording songs together and their television program had ended, they remained popular in Las Vegas for many years. After more than a decade of leading a variety show in the famous gambling city, the brother and sister team had their names engraved on a star. On October 4, 2019, a Donny & Marie star was placed on the iconic Las Vegas Strip Walk of Stars. As a result, each year on October 4th, Sin City celebrates Donny & Marie Day.
