​​Husky had worked the televised version of Springfield, Missouri's, Ozark Jubilee in 1955 and then moved to the Grand Ole Opry. "Gone" propelled him to network television appearances on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts--including spots as guest host-Kraft Television Theater, The Ed Sullivan Show, and eventually talk shows hosted by Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, and Merv Griffin. Husky had to give up his Opry slot, but TV exposure introduced him to millions of viewers.

Recording success landed Husky featured roles in a number of movies. These included Mr. Rock & Roll (1957), Country Music Holiday (1958), Forty Acre Feud (1965), Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967), Las Vegas Hillbillys (1966), and Swamp Girl (1971).

But Husky made his most lasting impression as a live performer. He toured widely in the United States and abroad. "There were a lot of years when nobody in the business could follow Ferlin Husky," Merle Haggard said, "He was the biggest live act of the day. A great entertainer."​
