The Danny Thomas Hour is an American anthology television series that was broadcast on NBC during the 1967-68 television season.

The Danny Thomas Hour comprised various formats, including dramas, comedies and musical-variety hours, produced on videotape and film. Thomas hosted the dramas and the musical-variety hours, starring in the latter. One of the comedies was an hour-long sequel to his former situation comedy, The Danny Thomas Show (aka Make Room for Daddy). Thomas also starred in all of the comedy episodes, both those based on his old show and those which were not.
