Donahue was one of the few non-political celebrities...

Non-political??? The dude was a left wing hack.

Donahue was a man pretending to be a woman explaining the platform of the View.

RIP Phil, you were out there.

They are going all in on Phil Donahue as the creator of daytime interview shows. What about Steve Allen and Merv Griffin? They were doing it long before Donahue. Wasn’t Donahue also Marlo Thomas’s friend with benefits?

I remember a Phil Donahue episode wherein a man called into the show and complained that the over stressed, hard-working women raising children at home that Phil was interviewing were not representative of homemakers.

Man: When I get home my wife is always sitting on her fat backside. She doesn’t lift a finger all day, she just loafs around the house....’

Phil Donahue: Do you have any children?

Man: Yes.

Phil Donahue: How many?

Man: Eight.

Phil Donahue: Eight children? Sir, you’re lucky your wife doesn’t drink....

There was a joke Steve Martin did in Only murders in the building..which is a great show..when he thought he had been locked in a closet for a long time. He asked was SNL still on.

He does hire players from the show. Molly Shannon is on next season. Eugene levy is going to play Steve in the “movie”

Donahue and Oprah started the downfall of western civilization.

I did enjoy Donahue when he hosted that harridan Madelyn O’Hare. She would spar with the audience, almost all of whom believed in God. Even Donahue got fed up with her at one point and said, “Madelyn,,,SHUT UP!”. Good times.
