PHIL'S FINAL REGRET - FIRED FOR BEING NICE!
National Enquirer|September 09, 2024
PIONEERING talk show titan Phil Donahue went to his grave furious he was forced to walk away from his once-dominant daytime chatfest because he wouldn't imitate bottom-feeding competitors like Jerry Springer and Sally Jessy Raphael, who pandered to the lowest common denominator with bawdiness and brawls.
PHIL'S FINAL REGRET - FIRED FOR BEING NICE!

Donahue, who died Aug. 18 at the age of 88, invented the genre by inviting audiences to question the guests - a format that's become standard.

He got his start on a local station in Dayton in 1967, then took the show national in 1974.

Donahue was a smash, seen in more than 200 markets and winning nine Emmys. But by the mid-1990s, the ratings had dropped dramatically as audiences turned the channel to watch the tawdry confessions, screaming matches and free-for-all mêlées on his rivals' shows.
