The Johnny Cash Show is an American television music variety show hosted by Johnny Cash. The Screen Gems 58-episode series ran from June 7, 1969 to March 31, 1971 on ABC; it was taped at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. The show reached No. 17 in the Nielsen ratings in 1970. Cash opened each show, invariably preceding the first number with his customary "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" greeting, and its regulars included members of his touring troupe, June Carter Cash (his wife) and the Carter Family, The Statler Brothers, Carl Perkins, and The Tennessee Three, with Australian-born musical director-arranger-conductor Bill Walker. The Statler Brothers performed brief comic interludes. An instrumental version of "Folsom Prison Blues" was used for the opening credits. It featured many folk-country musicians, such as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Kris Kristofferson, Mickey Newbury, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Merle Haggard, James Taylor and Tammy Wynette. It also featured other musicians such as jazz great Louis Armstrong, who died eight months after appearing on the show.

For his 1978 Christmas special, the third in as many years, Johnny Cash moved the taping of the Christmas Special to Los Angeles, and, predictably, the program takes on a Hollywood feel. Guests include Kris Kristofferson and singer Rita Coolidge, both friends of the Cash family who perform a heartfelt "Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends," and Steve Martin, one of America's hottest new comics at the time. June Carter Cash, as always, performs with her husband, and other family members make appearances in this special as well. The show originally aired December 6, 1978.

Johnny Cash hosts this delightful, down-home music special from Maces Spring, Virginia, birthplace of his wife June Carter Cash. June takes us to her childhood home and offers a history of The Carter Family, then sings “My Clinch Mountain Home” and “I’ll Be All Smiles Tonight” with sisters Anita Carter and Helen Carter. Cousins Janette Carter and Joe Carter join in on “I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home” and “Foggy Mountain Top.” Next, Merle Haggard breaks out his fiddle for “This Morning, This Evening, So Soon” and “San Antonio Rose.” (This entire segment is staged on an old time radio set, like the studios the Carter Family performed in in the 1930s.)

In 1985, Johnny hosted his tenth and final Christmas Special. His first Christmas Special was held in 1971 on the "Johnny Cash Show" for ABC. Then, from 1976 to 1985, Cash hosted an annual Christmas Special on CBS.
