Oh, I understood problem with showing format like at begin of cracking
session: at begin of crack John loads only one format while -show
loads all formats. So it is not so trivial. However I think it is
possible to show line with format and cracked/left statistics for each
loaded format.

Hints could be at the same line as statistics for certain format.
It could look like following:
$ john -show passwd
login1:password1:...
...
<empty line>
nt: 0 cracked, 1000 left (nt is like mscash1, mscash2)
des: 10 cracked, 0 left
10 cracked, 1000 left
(note about nt, mscash: this example is not intended to be realistic)
