One of the originators of trash TV, I do remember he foiled a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth at a baseball game. Rip

He was super-serious and legit, but with the advent of Morton Downey and Geraldo, his ratings started to drop, and he ended up having to pivot to try to get the ratings back. |

I respectfully disagree, it was hot topic emotional vampire daytime talk show just like the rest of them. Was it as trashy as Jerry Springer? No. But the idea was still the same.

RIP
And thanks for being a better option than soap operas on school sick days for kids. "The Phil Donahue Show, meh, it's better than a soap opera." |

I vividly recall my mother being glued to his show when he had a renowned atheist on the show. I can’t recall her name, but do recall my mother being totally horrified.
*Edit* It was Madalyn Murray O’Hair. My google search suggests that she was a frequent guest of the show. Last edited by JimNasium; Yesterday at 12:26 PM.. |
