Great talk show host before the genre became oversaturated.
For those old enough to remember both, Phil was like ex-NBA player Tom McMillen as guys that were seemingly born with gray hair.

In his day, he was as big a star as anyone on TV.

Donahue was featured pretty prominently in the new Pete Rose documentary "Charlie Hustle & The Matter of Pete Rose".
It also showed Jerry Springer when he was mayor of Cincinnati and a local
news anchor.

I saw a video clip of him this morning, when he recently received the CMoH from the President. He did not look well. I hadn't seen him in years and was shocked at how ill he looked.

Anybody who still needs convincing about the decline of our ability to have an adult conversation is welcome to go back and watch old clips of Donahue. This was daytime TV for stay-at-home-moms, and it was the Lyceum compared to anything on television today.

Phil had an all-time magnificent head of hair. I have wondered if he ever met Robert Redford--he might be the only one who came close to equaling Phil's stupendous follicles.

Dayton, Ohio is where the show started ( grew up in a town close there) - and the show stayed there for awhile after going national. My mom went several times. Wild subjects for the time - and he kept it civil - ti wasn't anything close to what the format became in later years.
Note: as a kid, I always had a crush on Marlo Thomas that he ended up marrying ...dammit

Marlo has had a nice late career run on the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies. She seems to always play the maiden aunt/grandmother/upstairs neighbor who delivers sage advice to the young heroine in a moment of crisis.
I saw an interview with her and Phil not too long ago. They were holding hands, leaning into each other like a couple of teenagers. They radiated being in love.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest medal which may be awarded to a civilian. There are no specific guidelines for the award, the PMoF is given at the sole discretion of the PotUS.
There is no CMoH, though colloquially it is (incorrectly) called that by many. The Medal of Honor is “presented in the name of the United States Congress.”
The MoH has very specific guidelines. Gallantry in action. Intrepidity. Above and beyond the call of duty. Risk of life. Selflessness. Exemplary action. Unwavering devotion. Conspicuous gallantry. Extraordinary heroism. The words enshrined with the Medal of Honor citations capture the best of what it means to be human.
The PMoF and the MoH are not comparable, in any way. One emanates from the whims of the highest elected officeholder. The other is to commemorate the selfless sacrifice of an individual combat soldier, sailor, marine or airman who has gone inconceivably beyond the call of duty without regard to their own personal well being.
Over 40,000,000 Americans have served in the armed forces since the Civil War. Only 3,519 of them earned the MoH.
The two awards, while both esteemed, are not comparable, and should never be confused. To do so is to dishonor and disrespect those who have made our freedom possible.

Johnny and his brother Matthew were killed. From an article in the Columbus Dispatch:
As of Friday morning, police have only confirmed to multiple news outlets in New Jersey and Philadelphia that a fatal bike accident occurred around 8 p.m. Thursday in Oldmans Township that killed two adult cyclists.
Reports are that the driver who hit them is suspected of drunk driving. They were in the area as they were set to be groomsmen in their sister's wedding today.
Just tragic.
