That to me was the intelligent person's talk show

i loved it

i still remember the episode where they had the KKK on it and there was a big black guy in the audience!

it was always kind of funny when he would get all revved up and start going off on some topic.

oprah has kind of taken over his role in the sense that she has the clout to interview anyone she wants to. however oprah seems to try to avoid controversy where donahue pursued it like a rabid dog. makes her show way less interesting.

What brought this question up?

What brings up any of Desmond's questions/polls? -smile-

Just kidding, Des.

Its desmonds job to bring things like this up!

Put this in the "Thread Titles That Made Me Burst Out Laughing" list.

& to answer your question:
No, not until you mentioned him anyway. How about a best of DVD box set? :D

No.

In that case dies anybody here already miss Springer Break?

Yes. Actually I miss Phil Hartman's impersonation of Phil Donahue more than I miss Donahue himself. I also missed the early days of Jerry Springer. He actually seemed to want to discuss issues and stuff, although apparently no one wanted to see that.
