Legendary talk show post Phil Donahue has died at age 88 following a ‘long illness’
News of Donahue’s death broke on Monday, August 19, with multiple outlets confirming that The Phil Donahue Show host 'passed away peacefully following a long illness,” according to a statement shared by his family.
The family asked that in lieu of flowers, friends and fans make a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the Phil Donahue/Notre Dame Scholarship Fund. Donahue, however, did not stay in retirement for long. He returned to television in 2002 to host Donahue on MSNBC. The short-lived show was canceled by February of the following year.
At the time, Thomas — the star of '60s sitcom That Girl — joked that she and Donahue don’t have an awards room in their home — even though they probably should.
