All of them need to respect PD
Every single damn one took his blueprint
Lolz I remember in college, cats would be skipping class or chilling in between classes by the TVs in the hallways watching Jerry Springer.
I did that before back then as well or just make an excuse about being sick. Lol
Donahue tried to teach...
But we allowed the sh*show circus to thrive...

They were our equivalent of YouTube podcasts discussing relationships and politics.
These podcast today are trash compared to those talk TV shows we had back then.
Phil is gone. Khalid been gone.

Its supposed to be inferior. Do you remember the video of the black guy who wanted his white girlfriend to be his Coretta having with an uninformed black woman?

I was late discovering her, I'm mad as shit about it.
Like it's crazy she never gotten the recognition she deserves and Im glad I have her book. It's definitely worth the read from front to back.
RIP to Phli Donahue!!..Truly a Icon of TV Talk Shows!!....He will be missed!!
Facts!!
Rest in peace.
He was definitely one of the big names of that era. Oprah, Phil, Sally, Jenny, Montel, Geraldo, Jerry, Ricki, etc.

Loved the first version of his talk show theme..almost kind of had a New Jack Swing-type feel to it
Phil was different because he didn’t dumb down for his audience. If he had a guest on to discuss their book, Phil had read the book ahead of time. His show was a good balance between education, entertainment, political awareness and social awareness with a little spectacle sprinkled in.
Yes, his show did influence all that followed, but none were as good.
He was the only non-Black host who would tackle racism without being exploitive or demeaning to Black folks. Jerry Springer or Geraldo would have KKK and white power skinheads on alongside NOI or Black Hebrew Israelites and label them all equally as racist, intentionally muddying the waters between racism and prejudice.
Phil was a guy who wasn’t afraid to use his platforms to give an ear to all different sides, give voice to the voiceless and when the time came, take a stand against tyranny.
Respect and R.I.P. to the blueprint, Phil Donahue

Jenny Jones was a copycat of Phil until she started going wild with her show.
So was Jerry Springer.
I was a baby watching Donahue and really was one of the reason why I started watching talk shows in the first place.
While other tots were watching cartoons I was watching talk shows with my Grandma,Donehue,Sally,Montel,Ricki Lake,Jenny Jones,The Richard Daily show,Jerry,Momma Love,Judge Wopner,Relonda....on and on and I enjoyed the hell outta of watching them.
RIP to him....tv won't ever be the same
