Widely regarded as the “king of daytime talk,” Donahue created and hosted *The Phil Donahue Show*, a program that left an indelible mark on television history. Over nearly three decades, Donahue hosted more than 6,000 episodes and interviewed some of the most iconic figures of the time, including Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali, and Dolly Parton.
