But you’re a legend in your own time, a hero in the flood lights,playing tunes to fit your rhymes—but a legend is only a lonely boy, when he goes home alone.

Phil Donahue was a pioneer for shoveling liberal pablum into homes Monday thru Friday.

We’re all gonna die. Some of us will be missed less than others. Or....I don’t care would be an honest way of putting.
He got 88 years. Nothing to complain about. More than I will probably get.

He started the feminization of American males - the original metrosexual.
To: Morgana
He did interview a wider variety of guests who he was generally polite to. Imagine Oprah interviewing Ayn Rand.
Donahue did.
Live from The Phil Donahell Show...

Donahue had recently been awarded the presidential medal of freedom for his storied career.Wow. That was a stretch. The only time I watched his show was on You Tube for the Milton Friedman appearances

I never cared for him...i was a long time donor to St Jude’s but stopped because of him...
He was the Rosie O’Donnell show soon after 9-11. He said, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could join hands with the Afgahns in peace this Christmas season and sing “Silent Night/Holy Night?”
Even rosie o’donnell was horrified. He was a horrible liberal

"By 1979, the show was reaching 9 million viewers, nearly 8 million of them female.... Over the years, he interviewed late night host Johnny Carson, pop star Elton John, boxer Muhammad Ali, anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, comic filmmaker Mel Brooks, and tennis rivals Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Some of his more controversial guests included Albert Speer, Adolf Hitler’s architect; novelist Ayn Rand; Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan; Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke; and porn star Harry Reems.... If nothing else, he didn’t discriminate with respect to guests.

Also present was his beloved golden retriever, Charlie, as the illness he had been battling remains unknown. I tire of this crap. There is no privacy after death.

I watched his interview with Crippen and Young after the first shuttle flight. He pushed the microphone at them at one point in the interview and asked them if they were afraid during the launch. Young says, why don’t you take this crip. Crippen responds,” Mr. Donahue, anyone sitting on 60 tons of powdered aluminum and a 1/2 million gallons of liquid hydrogen and isn’t afraid just doesn’t understand the situation.” Donahue was frozen for a bit with that response. Only interview I ever watched of his.
To: Morgana
He was an pompous jerk but he seems like a conservative compared to the radical Left that’s on TV now.
