No! I used to watch him when i was sick , home from school. He was a good man and treated a lot of his eccentric guests with respect and dignity.
RIP Phil 🙏🏻
RIP Phil Donahue 💙 I grew up watching his show, as I spent summers with my Grandma. Thank you for blazing the trail, bringing us the daytime talk show. You will be missed.
What I liked about Phil Donahue is that although he was politically liberal, he would always have a fair and balanced conversation with anyone, no matter their political view. This of course was the reason for his successful run on television and honestly, this is what the world needs more. I still enjoy watching his old clips where he had Milton Friedman on his show to discuss various issues covering economic to social and how entertaining the conversations were, because they were intelligent conversations.
😭😭 THE BEST EVER EVER! PHIL made me realize MAINSTREAM media is controlled by AIPAC banks, military corp and AIPAC owns congress, potus! After he left...ALL WE HAVE IS PRO WAR MEDIA! RIP PHIL DONAHUE AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
I remember his talk show and how professional he was in delivering commentary and the truth on difficult issues. He could argue with his guests without putting them down. It’s a lost art. He was a good man. My condolences to his family. 😊
Phil is why my Dad stopped drinking! Mom watching Phil instead of attending to dad, dad ripping tv out the wall and setting at the curb. After he saw the holes in the wall and my mom's tears, he never drank again. True story!
Wow. That's incredible. Glad things turned out better for your family.
I greatly respected Phil Donahue, and he and beloved That Girl Marlo Thomas were truly happy together, too. I wish that more journalists and anchors presented information and could speak as well as he did. He made everyone feel included regardless of where his personal and political views were.
RIP Phil Donahue. Trailblazer for sure. Thank you 🙏🏼💙
R,I.P Phil Donahue, you were by far the best talk show ever. Fair and kind
Adored both of them! They both were a part of my tv childhood. One thing that always struck me about him was his empathy and kindness. God Bless Phil and may he rest in heaven!
My mom loved watching his show. It always used to be to be on the TV growing up. RIP
Mr. Donahue brought many wonderful stories into my home. I really enjoyed his show. Condolences to his beautiful wife and family.
Donohue addressed so many topics of interest, always showed all sides of an issue, took on controversial subjects to open dialogue. He was a true cultural icon. May he RIP.
He was a dignified respectful gentleman!
My grandmother attended a taping of "The Phil Donahue Show" when I was about ten years old, along with my great-aunt and godmother. They didn't participate with any comments or questions, but I instantly recognized them in the audience. I happened to be watching the show after school with my granddad, while none the wiser about when that episode would be airing. I got ecstatic and said to him, "There she is!" She was on her way home from work at the time, and I couldn't wait to tell her.

What a sweet memory. Thanks for sharing.🥰
When I was a teenager in the early 80s, my Mom and I attended a taping in Chicago. The day we attended the topic was sort of lackluster and boring though. It would have been more fun if we had a juicy or sensational topic.
Deepiest Condolences To Everyone Waking To This Heart-breaking News. It's Been A Tremendous Honor To Have Enjoyed
Mr, Phil Donahue For So Many Pleasant Years.
Rest In Peace Sir.
And, Thank You. 😭
Phil treated women in daytime with respect. One of the very first to never talk down to his audience. What a shame he will be missed. Sending love to his family and friends. He is a real loss.
RIP Phil. He was a great guy. He was the best before everyone else who followed him. Very fair always to his guests, and always had interesting topics on his show. Glad to hear he had a long life.
RIP phil. Best talk show. Blessings ❤
Loved by many especially his wonderful wife Marlo
He lived a full and wonderful life, will be missed by many. Thanks Phil 👏👏👏
My Dad (RIP) used to watch your show faithfully. i heard this show so much as a kid growing up, i can still hear that “promotional consideration fees paid by the following” disclaimer. Lol
RIP Mr. Donahue. Salute to you Sir! 🫡🙏🏽🌹

RIP Mr. Donahue…an amazing ICON!❤️❤️
Phil was very good, He actually let his guests speak. Not like any Tv Hosts today.!!!
Very articulate and focused Pioneer of the talk show genre,,,RIP, sir..
He was radically left for the time. However, to his credit, he gave time to other viewpoints. Sometimes he even got schooled, like when Milton Friedman was on his show. Today progressives can't tolerate any other viewpoint but their own.
A wonderful intelligent empathic man and a pioneer Broadcaster. I have always been a huge fan. May his memory forever be a blessing to all who knew and loved him. Amen 🙏
Rip, dear Phil! You were amazing! Watched your TV career from onset. You were brilliant!
He was an icon!
You were a great human being....You will be missed....

Rest In Peace and Power and Paradise Phil Donahue 😢😢😢😢 Praying for your family and friends and Fans of the Show 😢😢
I remember when he had Phil Hartman (and other SNL cast members of that era) on his talk show and Phil was playing Donahue . . . .on Donahue. It was funny and fun. Sadly, now we no longer have either of them.
Deepest condolences to Marlo Thomas and family on the passing of the daytime talk show legend. He has his wings and in heaven now. Love and Prayers from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏✝️🕊🌻

I remember Phil Donahue's early shows from a small studio in Dayton. He was a trailblazer in that he brought the audience into the conversation and allowed them to express views pro and con. Always respectful to guests and audience.
He and Marlo were a love story that lasted 44 years.
I still miss The Phil Donahue Show. He was not afraid to have anyone on the show or cover any topic. He was a true pioneer.
What a trailblazer! May God bless and keep them all.
RIP Phil Donahue condolences to your beautiful wife, Marlo Thomas and your children and family 😢💔❤🙏🏾🪶

R.i.p. Phil.
I was watching his show the day Marlo Thomas came on and you could see the sparks between them from the start.
So sad! R.I.P.
Rest In Peace 🕊️
I loved the Donahue show when I was a kid from the mid 70s to the early 80s. As the 80s wore on, I remember liking him less and less. Partly, of course, I was changing, growing up. But Donahue changed too, becoming more aggressive and irritating in his questioning. I remember after he retired, I read an article about him in which he said that this change had basically been imposed on him by the executives, who wanted him to be more in line with the way talk shows were developing at the time. He had to be more sensationalistic and less thoughtful, or lose his job. It’s a sad story, but I will always remember 70s Phil Donahue.
I miss the 70's.😢
So sorry 😢😢😢
A sad day for television. Rest in peace, Phil Donahue.
Condolences to the family and friends RIH 🙏🏿
Praying for Marlo and the family.
R.I.P
I liked him. He was interesting and didn't have to get into the gutters for ratings!
I remember him for featuring Madeline Murray O’Hare on his show.
I grown up watching him the 80's
Rest in peace Phil Donahue. Ohio's finest. 😢❤. My sincere condolences to his family. He was truly legendary.
Aww that's sad. I watched him when I was a kid. He was captivating. Even though my father was a liberal he didn't care for him. Phil deeply loved Marlo.
I feel so bad for Marlo Thomas. She lost her soul mate.
