Let me tell you a story about one of the most iconic duos in entertainment history—Donny and Marie Osmond. You might remember them from their unforgettable variety show that aired back in the '70s, or perhaps from their incredible Las Vegas residency. Recently, Donny took us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating those magical moments.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
At 62 years old, Donny Osmond is still as charming and full of life as ever. On January 23, he posted a throwback to the very first episode of Donny & Marie, which aired on January 23, 1976. In his caption, Donny reminisced about the fun and laughter he shared with his sister Marie. "Missing you and your playful shenanigans today, @marieosmond!" he wrote. He even brought up a classic prank where Marie tossed him into a giant pie live on national TV. Classic sibling antics, right? Donny added with a playful wink, "Yeah. I do too. I haven’t forgotten about it either. When you least expect it..." Can you picture the drama?
Reactions Pour In
Of course, fans couldn’t resist chiming in with their own memories of the beloved show. One commenter exclaimed, "OMG! I remember sitting in front of my TV every Friday night to catch this show. Loved it so much!" Another fan joked about the siblings' evolving hairstyles throughout the series, noting how Marie seemed to change hers constantly while Donny stuck to tweaking his part. To which Donny hilariously responded, "True!" It’s moments like these that remind us why Donny and Marie have always been such a beloved duo.

A Legacy That Lasts
Donny & Marie aired for three years, wrapping up on January 19, 1979. But just because the show ended didn’t mean the Osmond siblings were done making waves together. Most recently, they dazzled audiences with an 11-year-long residency in Las Vegas. Donny announced the conclusion of their Vegas run with a bittersweet post: "It’s official! At the end of 2019, Marie and I will conclude our #LasVegas residency." He went on to express how much he’ll miss performing alongside his talented sister, calling her "the best partner in crime a guy could ask for." And who could forget their beloved home away from home, the Flamingo Vegas?
