Famed TV host Phil Donahue dead at 88

There are two things I still remember vividly from growing up in the ‘80’s: the AIDS crisis and feeling sick that so many adults preferred to ignore it or, worse, were happy it was mostly affecting gay men, and watching Airplane! on cable over and over.

It was a pure coincidence I saw this episode of Donahue and it’s stayed with me ever since.
