0.1 is not the lowest possible rating one can get. John McEnroe got a 0.0 when he started his show. Mike H 15:17, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC) Please help me get some recording of Donahue when he was in Cedar Rapids, Iowa many years ago. cgcatloverqc@yahoo.com farmer talk on the show —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.255.1.116 ( talk) 13:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
This article makes the following statements:
These two tidbits seem to subtly imply mutually contradictory conclusions without explicitly stating them. So what is the full story? Were the ratings in August 2002 representative of its ratings up until its cancellation? How were these ratings when compared with the typical hour on MSNBC, or other programs like Jesse Ventura's program or Joe Scarborough's program? -- Bletch 17:30, Sep 28, 2004 (UTC)
Somebody should mention his NCSU commencement speech, Take a Liberal to Lunch which had wide press in, I think, 2003 - he was booed off the stage, and the speech created a controversy for the administration of the school at the time.-- 24.176.68.73 14:28, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Phil Donahue is still a Catholic, although he is critical of some of the Church's policies. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9803E1DF1E3FF93BA15757C0A9649C8B63

The most recent Donahue event this article mentions is his appearance on the O'Reilly Factor in 2005. In that interview Donahue seemed quite committed to the anti-war effort. Has he been completely silent ever since, or does this article need updating? M. Frederick 00:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I believe that Mr. Donahue is more aware of the situation than most people realize and is simply biding his time for an effective forum which the mainstream media cannot marginalize. We will see. DavoudMSA ( talk) 09:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
That wasn't the point and this isn't a political forum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.238.92.21 ( talk) 06:01, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
He was a mayor. Research it. Daimerej ( talk) 02:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I think Phil Donahue's politial activism should be noted here. He has been active in the anti-war movement and in Nader's 2000 campaign. Matt2h ( talk) 03:37, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

The citation given for the line, "Oprah Winfrey said "if it weren't for Phil Donahue, there never would have been an Oprah show." is http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Phil-Donahue-First-Time-Video. If you actually listen to the video, Oprah says no such thing. Yes, that text appears on the page, underneath the video - but no matter where it appears, it's completely unsupported by the video.
