The Johnny Cash Show is a 1970 live album by American country singer Johnny Cash, recorded at the Grand Ole Opry House and released on Columbia Records in 1970 as a tie-in with Cash's then-current TV series of the same title. Though one of Cash's lesser-known live records, it spawned the highly successful single "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", which helped kickstart the career of singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson. The song and album reached number 1 on the Country charts. It was Cash's final chart entry in Australia, going no higher than number 35. The album was certified Gold on February 16, 1995, by the RIAA.
