  1. "Mommy, it's a puppy!" I laughed so hard. Phil Donahue was such a wonderful human being. He changed the world of broadcasting for the so much better. He showed class, sensitivity, understanding, kindness, and humanity. Phil will be sorely missed. Please keep Marlo in your thoughts.

  3. While I wasn't a daily viewer, I can honestly say Phil Donahue saved my life. In 1986, I just happened to catch his show about gay men who had married women, started families and then came out later. Yep, I was in that situation and watching this episode gave me a feeling of hope. Here's the title: "Phil Donahue 1986 coming out as gay to a heterosexual spouse and children."

  4. Phil’s show had to be cancelled because he could no longer compete with the brainless sewage being spewed by the likes of Jerry Springer, Wally George, and the king of sickening vanity: Geraldo Rivera.
    Phil’s show was the only talk show that I found interesting as a late teen, and then it was gone — replaced with that mindless garbage.

  5. What year was this and Phil Donahue became a proud outspoken feminist thanks to his wife actress Marlo Thomas who had been a proud outspoken feminist since the early 1970's.

    And he was a single father for several years bringing up his four sons but his daughter lived with his ex wife.

  6. As a child I was sick a lot and my Mom watched this show. We only had one TV so I ended up watching starting in first grade. I always liked him. Rest in Peace, Phil. No one was as good as you.
