Are these the names of variety shows or sitcoms?

Both put their star's name in the title.

 

Many classic sitcoms and variety shows used the same straightforward (if a little uncreative) method when it came to titling: just put the show's star in between the words “The” and “Show.”

Many musical variety show hosts were gifted comics and many hilarious sitcom actors had musical chops great for songs and skits. This got us thinking — how easy would it be to remember if a star's namesake show was a sitcom or a variety show? What if that celebrity had both?

Here are 15 classic programs. Can you tell which titles are for sitcoms and which ones are for variety shows?
