No, no, no, no. Not that I know of.

She posted a tribute to Phil, basically saying what we said earlier.

She said, look, he wasn't the first person to talk to people on TV,

but he was the first person to do the daytime talk show format

that became so popular and proved she said that women audiences would watch something other than

just soap bombers. Yeah, and yeah, he's had a good life, 88. We are going to start with some

sad news on this Monday though, because just moments ago,

we learned that television icon Phil Donahue has died.

He died at the age of 88.

He was born in Cleveland, Ohio.

He began his career back in 1959, working in radio before making the move to TV.

Earlier this summer, Donahue was among those honored at the White House when President Biden presented him with the

the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest honor for an American civilian.

And of course he was married for more than 40 years to Marlowe Thomas.

They met actually on his talk show in 1977.

Okay, so she's still alive?

She mentioned as far as I know.
