Was Chastity Bono actually billed as a guest on Sonny and Cher?

I remember her parents used to bring her out often, but strikes me it was just
an informal cameo at the end of the show.
 
In 1976, Bobby Knight was still several years away from assaulting cops and throwing chairs. This was the season they went undefeated and beat Michigan for the NCAA Championship.

I hear the NFL is considering trademarking this title for use of a future program starring Tim Tebow. ;D
