Cher & Glen Campbell - Jingle Bells

In 1969, country-pop and TV star Campbell and the dynamic Cher teamed up to appear on a Christmas edition of Campbell’s series on CBS. In its first season of a three-year run on the network, the Goodtime Hour was introduced as a replacement for the controversial (and suddenly canceled) Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, which pushed a late-Sixties agenda that was fairly anti-establishment.

Campbell’s series was more rooted in the core values one might expect from an Arkansas-born country musician: family fun with an emphasis on wholesome and inoffensive comedy. (Interestingly enough, one of the Goodtime Hour‘s writers, Rob Reiner, would become more well-known for starring in one of the most controversial shows of its time: All in the Family.)

This wasn’t the pair’s only TV appearance together either. In August 1971, Campbell was a musical guest of Sonny and Cher’s third episode of their series and in November of that year, Cher returned to Campbell’s show, appearing this time with her husband.
