Seems like a nice enough guy for helping to usher in the end of polite society and decorum as we know it

Taranchalanche, Phil Donahue was a talk show host similar style to Oprah. He had celebrities and interesting topics and guests not at all like Jerry Springer. Mike Douglass was another good talk show host.

Not critical, just curious. It first says he served from 77-78. Then it says he served for 4 yrs. I'm confused

WhisperingRover91587, His show didn't start out that way. He had many poignant moments with holocaust survivors and everyday heroes. His ratings weren't good so he went trashy and I stopped watching. The same thing happened to Bill Maher and Stephen Corbett. Trash sells, decency doesn't.

Gee, it's lucky his political career ended so we could enjoy years of non-memorable, embarassing, unnecessary tripe with no redeeming value. Oh wait, that's reality tv in general. Maybe he's the godfather of (non) reality tv. Thanks, writers' strike. Thanks alot.

It says he was mayor from '77-'78 but then it says in next paragraph that he held that seat for 4 years. Well, what was it?

His show was definitely good for a little well needed & deserved escapism & also made a fantastic drinking game.

Taranchalanche, Phil Donahue was clean, educational, and polite. He was nothing like Jerry Springer

Now a 'Judge Springer' to add to his rediculousness. Anything for a buck for him.

Many came and left Ricky Lake, Jenny Jones, Sally Jesse, and more. Jerry stood the test of time with the fighting Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
