I'm around the same age as that woman's children at 9:26. I remember listening to these songs as a six year old in 1983, and my folks didn't seem to be bothered by it.
For only 9 months in 1985, Phil Donahue & Howard Stern were under the same roof. Donahue had a 10 year residence at the NBC studios in New York until WNBC Ch 4 dropped the show in 1995 and The Howard Stern Show was on WNBC 66AM for 3 years until he was fired by Sept 30, 1985.
Wasn’t Howard fired on Monday 9/30/85? (Or was it technically the next day…?) Anyway, I had no idea Donahue did the show from NYC. Thanks for watching!
Wasn't that most "Donahue" audiences around this time? Thanks for watching. My only criticism of this tape is that Larry is so quiet. Listen to tapes of him in the late 60s and early 70s. He was doing stuff on top 40 radio that the likes of Steve Dahl and Howard would only do on AOR a decade later. I kinda like that pre-hair band style of Howard where he's just a dumpy, dorky anti-establishment dude. Lotta radio greatness on that stage. Even Biondi in his day was a real rebel-rousing, boss baiting rebel on the WLS/Chicago waaaay back in the early 60s.
Phil at his best and the zenith of his popularity. Several months later, Oprah would premiere on WLS-TV and the rest is history. Phil Donahue 1935-2024. Ron Weiner (Director) 1930-2024.
Most DJs back then lived on the strength of their voice and had ZERO content or anything interesting to say. Larry had great pipes and great WIT. I will say, as the 80s progressed he got more and more, well... boring, but... Dude made his money and a massive impact. Thanks for watching!
@@readwriter That and he was probably annoyed by Johnny B's over the top nature. Feels like by the early 80s, Larry was done with these types of appearances. Thanks for watching!
I think Larry and Dick were annoyed by Johnny B. - He WAS the "new kid in town" at the time, after all. And yes... Howard has become everything he ripped on the 1980s. A phony, elitist, Hollywood butt kisser. But.. I still love him. Absolute genius and pioneer. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! "Fun" fact: This was taped during the fall of 1983- The most dangerous FALL of the 1980s - when nuclear war was thisclose. Never came more close than that fall of 1983. Google it. Crazy stories!
@@javajoelradio not all together true though, The Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 was as dangerous as the incident in 1983, the U.S. and Soviet Union which lasted two weeks until negotiations were made between JFK and Khrushchev for the dismantling of nuclear weapons facilities being constructed in Cuba and to return the nuclear missiles that were to be mounted in Cuba back to the Soviet Union.
@@sspbrazil That's why I said most dangerous fall "of the 1980s". There were a few instances that fall where we came super close - the Petrov incident of late September and the Able Archer exercise of early November 1983. Was definitely a "Nuclear Fall" that year. Plus - the premiere of "The Day After" in mid-November. These days, seems like we should worry more about destruction from within our country than outside/international forces. Thanks again for watching!
Phil Donahue was a trailblazer that's for sure.
No question. There's quite a lot of his shows on RUclips. Super interesting stuff. Thanks for watching!

Seems quaint by today's standards, doesn't it? Thanks for watching!
This is absolutely fascinating.
Right?!? Everyone on the stage was a legend. Thanks for watching!

@@javajoelradio Studio 8G at 30 Rock. I think "Rosie" took over the studio in 1996.
We’re all crazy in Chicago. Chicago radio was the best in the 70’s and 80’s
It used to be the greatest radio city in America. Now... Not so much. Thanks for watching!
Phil was so good in this episode.
Who
Dude was smooth. Thanks for watching!
Phil Donahue. The host of the show. Thanks for watching!
@@javajoelradio Thanks for posting! I love when he says "All of America agrees with this woman."
Phil became a caricature of himself after the show moved to New York. He had increased competition and decided alter his act to survive.
This is great. Howard looked so different back then.
Total dork, right? I love it! I'm annoyed at what he's become, but absolute genius/broadcast pioneer. Thanks for watching!
14:10 - 15:47 - 😆🤣 big fax 📠
great episode 😁👌
Thanks for watching!
I love how Lujack is just sitting there the whole time with this look on his face that someone farted...
Would've loved to have heard more, but... that was Larry for ya. Thanks for watching!
Wow. Donahue's audience is one giant uppity and stuffy bunch that day

Also, damn, Dick Biondi is a true genius. Love that guy....wow. What a great piece of history here...
Pioneer. Especially the way he'd lay into management ON THE AIR at WLS/Chicago back in the early 60s. Maybe HE's the original "shock jock".
@@Trrippy_Shades Are you OK?
Now fastforward 40 years and I would like to hear what this generation's parents would say about the current music being played😂.
Yes. “Tame by comparison” would be a vast understatement. Thanks for watching!
I grew up in Chicago and listened to Larry Lujack every day. Best dj I've ever heard. Too bad he didnt have more to say here.

Larry looked kind of quietly pissed off throughout the program... Possibly feeling like the target of a Donahue low-class ambush.

I taped this when it aired in Phoenix. Never lose the Loon in you.
Nice. Glad I was able to share on RUclips. It's radio history for sure. Thanks for watching!
Now Howard is a safe interviewer.
Yeah. He's a weirdo now. A shell of his former self, but will always be pioneer and radio genius.
I guess you always have the reruns.
woman look so old bacck in he day
LOL. It's gotta be the hairstyles, right? Thanks for watching!
The producers got this so wrong. Wrong subject for the guests.
Right? DJs hadn't picked the music since the Payloa era of the late 50s. Thanks for watching!
Imagine if they heard WAP on the radio
Right??? "Come on baby make it hurts so good" seems like a nursery rhyme by comparison. Thanks for watching!
Song lyrics are messed up and suggestive
Johnny B was pretty funny,and that Era stern was good too. Howard is horrible now

Boy this didn’t age age well in the era of Trump becoming president lol.
