They Got Cancelled
The Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Show preceded The Roy Rogers Show, but the latter was immediately cancelled after only three months due to low ratings. It wasn’t over yet for Rogers, though. Additionally, he appeared on shows like Wonder Woman and The Muppet Show.
Hot Shoppes Became Roy Rogers
In 1968, Rogers partnered with Marriott to rebrand the company’s Hot Shoppes restaurants by lending his name to the restaurants. Consequently, Hot Shoppes became Roy Rogers Restaurants. By agreeing to allow the company to use his name, Rogers was compensated, as well as any appearances he made at their restaurants.
