As a young black girl, I can’t tell you how much both of you have influenced my parents and ultimately me. Growing up in the 80’s My mom loved The Phil Donahue Show. Her love for Phil spilled over to us kids and he was our model on how to discuss complicated issues…he really was amazing!!! As for you Marlo, my dad absolutely adored you, so much so that he named me after you. As a young kid, I didn’t particularly like the name because it was different, but of course with age, I learned of your wonderful story and work with St. Jude, and now I’m eager to share my name proudly😊 I pray Marlo that you find peace and comfort in God through time. You were an amazing duo and hopefully you can in time be inspired by your husbands legacy and impact on so many of us.🙏🏾
Dear precious person, I totally concur with your perspective on this most entertaining show from the past, and on these two amazing people. It is always a difficult and sad time when a beautiful spirit takes flight. Blessings to all.
Once again... makes race the basis. No need, get well soon.
@@_whatnext_9319Your comment seems out of context.
He can't hardly get a word in there without her cutting him off...poor guy... lol
I hope she’s reading these comments. She didn’t let Phil get one complete sentence in! She talks a lot!
"That Girl" was inspiring for so many young girls growing up. I never missed it. I'm watching re-runs of The Danny Thomas every afternoon. They bring back so many memories for me. He's was just wonderful!
I love you and Phil together. I never missed Phil's show either. Those were some really great interviews!
Happy belated birthday and Happy Thanksgiving.
08-19-2024: it was announced that we lost Phil Donahue today.
Phil Donahue and Tim Russert were my absolute favorite interviewers. May they both rest in peace and God bless Marlo Thomas during this difficult time.
Hahaha, commies
She interrupted phil at every turn
Love them both. Phil has contributed so much to my generation with his talk show. He shed light on so many controversial topics. Gave us a voice to speak on topics we couldn't in our daily life. Marlo with her St. Jude for children involvement, such a great cause , one out of many things she's done.
Damn that apt. Of theirs in NYC looks bomb from what little could be seen in the backround!
I totally agree! I didn’t realize for years that Marlo’s dad was Danny Thomas and he founded saint jude. She’s definitely taken after her dad
Poor Phil barely gets to speak But I sure love these two! Beautiful Marlo Thomas Handsome Phil 🩷💙
Let the man talk!!!!
Nice interview but Marlo needs to let Phil talk. When he did she always cut him off. Maybe that's why the marriage works
I love them as a couple. I love Marlo Thomas so much. Phil is still so smart and has so much of a spark still there. ❤️❤️
I wish Marla wouldn’t keep interrupting or answering for Phil. It is very rude and annoying.
Ironically, he was a talk show host :) He is quite capable of talking! Note to Marlo
Phil - that unmistakable voice!
Phil Donahue wasn't afraid of any topic on his talk show.
All left nonsense
YES! He tackled subjects many talks how hosts won't go near...loved that about him
Phil is capable of speaking, he's quite eloquent, yet she takes over the conversation and doesn't let him finish a sentence.
I totally agree! So annoying.
Exactly what I came to the comments for. So frustrating.
Lol you're right
She's in protective mode.
Yes. Very annoying to me too!
She needs to let him talk.
You know my Mom was a big talker and my Dad not so much. I asked him one time if that bothered him he never could get a word in, and he said, no, it makes her happy.
God bless you Phil for defying the American industrial war complex.
As a young stay-at-home mother, I, and many others, mostly women, received a comprehensive education on societal issues ... Phil's format was ground-breaking, he virtually introduced us, close up, to issues such as homosexuality, incest, spousal abuse, drug abuse, and so much else ... with real-life testimonials ... I sill remember what I learned from some of his shows and will always appreciate him for the gifts he has given society !! Phil has high ethical standards and is peace-loving ... as evidence by not compromising on his anti-war stance, willing to be fired rather than promoting the global conflict !!
Just shows how similar that corporate media is to Pravda isvestia radio Moscow back in Brezhnevs day.
I agree with all you say. Staying at home with toddlers your mind can turn to bubble gum. It was Phil's daily show that educated me and kept me up on what was going on "out there." I do wish Marlo had let Phil speak more.
Well it is obvious that Marlo and Phil stayed together because she wants to do all the talking....and he lets her. Every time that Phil started to say something, Marlo jumped in to tell the story and give her opinion.
He is just a sweetheart of a person and isn’t pushy like she is… right ?
I think she’s just covering for him, because he’s a lot older, and she knows his limitations.
His shirt looks great, but her top is an awful color, yuk,
I think it's hilarious when women complain about men "mansplaining and interrupting" here's perfect example of how typical exchanges go when a woman is involved. Let poor Phil talk. That's who everyone wants to listen to
It's astonishing to me that she thinks we want to hear from her. How obnoxious.
Evidently he doesn't care.
I love the both and it was fine with me for her to talk.
Let him talk
They stay happy cause he let's her have her way.....
WORD!!
Omg, she doesn’t let him speak a word 😳
And she never did! Her father the great Danny Thomas warned him!😁
poor Phil can't speak without her interrupting.
So what she's prettier
Phil became emasculated after he married Marlo.
Holy cow! Let Phil talk! He's The skilled interviewer!
I wish she wouldn’t have interrupted him every chance she got !!
Thank you. That was very frustrating to watch. Let the guy speak!
That's what keeps their marriage together. I always pictured Phil as being the submissive type in their marriage.@@muzikblitz
@@jaf8771 I guess the guy did make a career out of getting the conversation started, then sitting back and holding a microphone.
I was thinking the same thing
Let phil talk.
Why do you think they have a happy marriage?
@stephenbeacham9717 because he resigned himself to it. You never hear a word about his four boys -- they are all but estranged because of her. Read a biography about her--she isn't all sugar and spice--at all.
@@KB-nr3lsRead The Politico expose on St. Jude’s.
I remember phil when he started at a little Dayton ohio tv station as a talk show host decades ago.
My husband and I have been married since 1978. He was 19 and I was 21. Hes now 62 and Im 64. Heres what has kept us together, the Lord Jesus Christ. Without Him, we would never have made it.
Isn't it just amazing what that imaginary man who lives in the sky watching you is capable of?
I think it’s wonderful that you and your husband have been together so many years. I believe you when you say that Jesus is why, through Christ we can do anything. God bless you both!
Lol!!!
Amen!! Jesus is coming ANY day now,So if Anyone reading this,please repent & give him your heart
1 Corinthians 15;1-4😅😇🙏
Marlo needs to let Phil talk! Geesh
When interviewing Phil, you need to let him know: 'Make it quick, we don't have all day.' Just like he talked to the guests on his show.
He looks good, like himself, just older. Sadly, she looks artificial and overly "surgified" to me. But I always admired both of them. It's nice to see them still together.
I remember when they got married and thinking that this was a strange match. But 43 years later and they're still going strong. Good for them! ❤❤
Two great media people I enjoyed over the years. May they live forever and stay together.
Marlo & Phil Donhue congratulations on 40 years together, cheers to your years🎉 wishing you an abundance of blessings, darling couple
It looks like he is annoyed at her interrupting him and taking over full control.
It’s hard to watch.
Here I am listening to this conversation, while the first season of That Girl is on my Roku channel. What a wonderful couple, and I can only wish I were as lucky in love and marriage as these two. God bless you both.
Rest in peace Sam Rubin and today, Phil Donahue.
I will always love Phil Donahue. I began watching him as a college freshman in Champaign/Urbana, Ill, when he was out of Cleveland. Until the day he went off the air, I barely missed a show. He was the best at interviewing I've ever seen - remarkable. You will be missed in this world, Phil.
I am so very sorry for the loss of this dear man, Marlo.
I know you love him so. God be with you all.
How does he put up with her constant interrupting him !!!
Damn does she have to constantly chip in 😡
Love them both! But Marlo enough with the botox!
Jesus, the horrible comments here. Phil Donahue is a effing national treasure... they took his job away for being honest and telling Americans the truth. Have to some respect people.
"National Treasure"? Dunno about that. He's certainly a (Limousine) LEFTIST.
Nah just listen to am old interview with him and Muhammed Ali, this guy deserves no sympathy from anybody
Damn you said a mouthful and I agree . He was priceless to my generation.
No one after could touch him including Oprah
All those who are taking jabs at aging, guess what...it will happen to you too. SMH.
God willing.
I just made 42 years. I've been a Marlo fan since I was a kid. Love her charity work and I feel like she is as sweet as she seems, no fake love it!
I was the second patient treated at St Jude. Your father came into my room and was so kind. He took his time to reassure a very frightened little girl that she wasn't going to die. He explained what the doctors were going to do to save me. The abuse was so bad I asked him to take me home because nobody loved me. He explained he had to go home to his little girl. I thought you had to get so lucky. I grew up on That Girl and later played hookie to stay home and catch Donahue. I feel your loss. I pray for your strength and God's grace right now. I know you were doing it together but it is still unexpected when you're suddenly alone. The house becomes more quiet than it has ever been. Keep your family close.
That entire family accomplished so much. So sad to hear about the loss of her husband Phil Donahue. 2024 just keeps getting worse.
Phils talk show was the only one I every watch. I’ve had to change a lot of things in are marriage and we’re still going strong after 30 years. The first thing she did was make him change his shirt and she finishes every one of his responses.
Phil is a very good man.
I used to go sit in the audience when Phil was in Dayton, Ohio. This was when he just did a local TV show. Always loved his energy.
Phil and Marlo are two amazing people ❤❤❤❤❤im 68 years old and i remember That Girl!! And i remember Danny Thomas too! A great man. PHIL is a great man too!!❤❤❤
Marlo let your husband talk!! You keep interrupting him 😩😩😩
She can't interrupt him anymore!
Maybe he can rest in peace,
if she lets him.
Not to be rude or anything, but I thought Marlo stalled almost every story Phil starts out to say possibly a memory lost on his part and she doesn’t want people to knew. maybe that’s just how it works. She’s used to talking for Saint Jose.GOD BLESS HER AND HIM HER DAD. But I thought it odd did. He wasn’t able to answer the questions without being interrupted. I’ve been married 54 years and our kids always say we have two heads in one body meaning we both do it back-and-forth.
Yes, she does interrupt a lot....but phil is full of grace & perhaps over talking so much in his shows......but he was such a perfect host 💕
Marlo, so sad to lose precious Phil. I was watching way back when Danny Thomas, Marko's father" was going strong. Amazing family truly blessed. Marlo a caring wonderful lady. Praying for you and family. God keep Phil safe and secure until we see you coming in the clouds to all meet them in the air
Love the Phil Donahue show ~ was my favorite ~
You can imagine it's like that around the house.Poor Phill.
I love this couple, they are so great together they are an inspiration to others,love never fails.!!wish them the best!!
I suggest you read "That Girl and Me" written by Desmond Atholl. He worked for many years as Marlo's butler and oversaw her servants. She is nothing but a foul-mouthed diva who treated her staff with contempt and cruelty. And he has documented in the back of the book many other people in the service industry who have had to put up with her behavior (from cab drivers to waitresses and on and on it went). It's interesting that Thomas never tried to sue for defamation etc because everything he said was 100% true
@@bufnyfan1 YES!!! And she did her best to ruin his relationship with his sons. It was her idea to move his show from Chicago to NYC, where SHE lived. Reading through this entire thread, I couldn't remember the name of the biography. She was indeed foul-mouthed, constantly berated the household staff (unlike Phil), and was always screaming for her Miso soup. How Phil tolerated such insufferable behavior is beyond me. She is a plastic surgery nightmare and bullying fraud amongst the "little" people.
Marlo seems to take over this conversation and cuts off Phil.quite disturbing!
Phil was such a great guy. He really was genuine warm human being.
I really don’t know much about her but that he loved her! But him! He was a great man!
It is impresive how surgery can change a face, she looks great, but her factions have gone completely. That girls has changed! Aw yes!
Greetings from 🇨🇱 Santiago Chile SouthAmerica
What happened to her voice? It is much deeper than when she was younger.
Lowered from all the years of constant screaming she has engaged in.
let phil talk!!!!!!!
Wish Marlo would let Phil talk!!
We all wish that.
Share stage as partners, not a solo; disrespectful to see this. He looks annoyed.
.
I haven't seen Phil Donahue in years.
I used to watch his syndicated talk show.
Love, love, love Marlo! I remember watching That Girl as a young teenager and really looking up to her. She was a ground breaker for women way before Mary Tyler Moore!
Thank God for the streaming channels we have now because I can watch her show and remember those good old days.
I used to watch the Donahue show all the time in the late 70's and 80's. I didn't and still don't agree with him politically but I'm happy he's still with us. The guy is 85 so of course he's going to look more frail but his mind is still as sharp as ever.
Phil helped teach me how to be a liberal. Really appreciate him.
I started watching him in the late 70s and through to the early nineties. He taught me how two-faced “liberals” are. One minute he’s saying GB sr. is defying the will of the American people (a bad thing when a Republican is doing it) then telling me GB sr. did what he did because it was popular and the American people are bomb happy. Then calling for clinton to bomb Serbia regardless of it being against the will of the American public’s opinion. What ever the narrative needed to be that favored his position was his moral foundation.
@@zefallafez another black and white “thinker”. I didn’t say I agreed with him all the time. Only Republicans are in a cult of personality.
Omg she doesn't let him talk at all! Controlling poor Phil
So sad condolences to his family n wife Marlo I use to watch his talk show years RIH Mr Phil 🖤🌹🎤🙏🏽
Phil is a very brave and courageous man. You should be heralded for your gallantry and your willingness t sieze the initiative.
He’s racist
I would enjoy hearing Phil Donahue. But Marlo interrupted every time he spoke
Plastic surgery does freaky things to old people
If only Marlo had left her cute nose alone, she would have looked much better.
I have to go back to That Girl to see what Marlo Thomas use to look like.
Seriously! She had big, round eyes, for starters!!
Darling Marlo we heard of Phil’s passaway r hearts and condolences 💐 r with u ❤u always Michele
Darling LoL 😂😂😂
Darling Marlo😂😂😂
what happened to Marlo's face. She looks creepy surreal..
Bless his family. Such a loss. RIP Phil. Blessings ❤
Phil looks great
And, this was 3 years ago...
Marlo, why don't you be quiet and let your husband talk!
Wishful thinking!
He has spent a lifetime talking too much
Rest in peace Phil Donahue!✝
I believe in a good long loving marriage. These 2 have it like so many others. This is something odd on my observation...when l was married in a long term marriage l knew many single folks that were unwedded for whatever reasons. Now that l myself have become single l see so many that are married. Not so sure what that really means to me. But, ll so cheer on couples to stay married and remember why you took your vows. Good folks don't breakup their home lives....they fix them. My marriage broke because he wasn't good enough to fix ours. Don't let this happen in your home. Be happy and keep your home alive.....
Phil is a GOAT!!! He put the "T" in Talk Show! At 61 years of age, so disenchanted by most of the talk shows of today, I wanted to see and hear something real, and I thought of Phil Donahue to hopefully listen to some of his old shows - which by the way are still relevant today - and did a search and have been watching his old shows all day today! Thank you, Phil & Marlo, you both look fabulous! From, Michigan.
I didn't know they are available online. Thank you for this! My mother and I loved his show and never missed it.
MARLO OMG KEEPS CUTTING OVERTALKING PHIL VERY RUDE SELF CENTERED DISSAPOINTED IN HER...NO CLASS SHAME ON HER LOVE NO PLAN B
Michael Moore said he wanted Phil back. So do I. So do I
Rest in peace Phil
God, what a mess Marlo made of what was once a beautiful face. It would be still if she had left it alone.
What about the man's face? dumb sexist comment...
She was beautiful...too many facelifts...I am surprised that Donahue still recognizes her....js.
What did they do to her face with her surgery?
She is currently 83 and looks fabulous whether she has plastic surgery or not. She looks half her age in my opinion.
She looks like the female version of MJ with her no nose nose!
@@CheezyMarywe do not know what she really looks like after plastic surgery....unlike her husband
She is vain as all get out. If you watch the video of "her" apartment tour, they fade out every time she walks from room to room as she must be unsteady and require a cane, but is too vain too be filmed using one.
Phil Donahue rest in peace 🕊️ August 2024....married for 44 years to Marlo Thomas
Awww.......I love Phil Donohue because he was a real talk show host when I was a kid and talked about important topics.....That he and his wife are still married makes me love the guy even more.
What a terrific couple. I enjoyed them both. R.I.P. PHIL ✨🙏✨
Interesting to see how Phil lets her interrupt and dominate. He did not used to do that.
I actually thought he looked a little frail. Hope he's Okay
He allows his wife to talk! How dare he do that without your permission! Who gave you permission to make comments about this video? Did your boyfriend or husband tell you it was okay????
It's not simply "He allows his wife to talk." Marlo would hardly let him talk. Phil gets asked a question, he starts answering then Marlo jumps in and cuts him off and finishes the answer. I was anniyed a couple times because I wanted to hear the rest of his comment.
@@breckrichardson390it appears she lacks respect towards his turn to speak~ not a good sign so frustrating to even watch this! Share the stage as partners, that’s the right thing to do!
God bless these two great people.
Love the both of you! Phil, at the start of your TV show: "I' hope you'll join us." Personally, my favorite quote that I've learned from you, Phil: "That sounds like a Bar Room Generalization!" Things I really appreciated and remember. Glad you stayed with 'That Girl'! Kindest regards, from N. Kentucky.
Marlo loves to hear herself talk. I’ll look at her differently watching That Girl …
I remember when they fell in love. I was watching Phil Donahue on TV the day Marlo came on his show as a guest and sparks flew. I was glad. They are a perfect match.
Yale University graduated genius who has long been embraced colored U.S. citizens with his true and sincere heart and mind. Sir. Please take care of your health and live long.
You are mistaken about Yale University. Phil graduated from Notre Dame. But I do agree with the rest of your statement.
One of the best interviewers , host of all time 👍
I love this couple. Watched Phil for years & enjoyed every minute! One of the best pieces of tv I've ever seen was the one Phil did between the people of the US & Russia. It was approximately 3 days in length. What I wouldn't give to see Phil host this same type of exchange between nations again! Please Mr Donahue...just one more time?
I read an old book detailing the life of Phil. Therein were his critiques about why he grew disenchanted with the Catholic Church along with many others. It included bits of prayers and insughts into what the Catholic regime included. It resonated to the deepest parts of me especially since after 8 years of seminary, my brother left after 6 months as a priest. I was being groomed to be a nun. This background never prepared me to face a civilization so backstabbing and gritty with no moral values at all. Would love for Phil to reflect on the church now. Book!
Where is his spirituality now? After my divorce, my expriest counselor clued me in about the realities of who he counseled to ease my humiliation at becoming a divorced Catholic. My brother fared better at leaving the priesthood than I did at getting divorced. From society as a whole. Marlo, to you a divorced woman is still lower than a thug in society. Noone wants you around cause youre a threat. Widows get respect. And a better chance at people respecting her.
I was raised in the Catholic Cult but after 20 years I was able to escape. Best thing I ever did!
Jesus what reality do you live in? You need to deal with your paranoid delusions and get out more!
This is why celebs live in a bubble. Apart from normal societal problems. I went to a Donahue show as a media student lateinlife college student. I was at the cusp of radical changes in home life. He courteously met with people after the show. Have pic. Not like Geraldo who disappeared in a hole after his show. Gogetter that I was my class was scheduled for Geraldo but I ran down the street and went to Donahue on my own.
Cool story.
