A Great Presentation With Phil Donahue

In a splendid hour or so of conversation with The Hudson Union Society’s Joe Pascal, the great Phil Donahue entertained the audience with memories of his great career.

Phil was most informative, candid, gracious, humorous, all reasons that his talk show had such great success.

Mr. Donahue’s career start in Ohio, his time as a single father and references to his beloved wife, actress Marlo Thomas were all part of the talk.

Early in the evening Phil stated, “you are giving a talk show host free reign to talk” which combined with some good questions asked by Mr. Pascal, manifested in a truly great time with Phil Donahue.

Additionally, Phil Donahue was most gracious both before the presentation, citing he grew up in Cleveland, the city that houses the World Series opponent of Phil’s team, the Cubs and just after the interview, standing and talking about his two grandchildren, a girl and boy.
