A rare appearance by Johnny Carson on a talk show where he is the subject of an in-depth interview.
1970-1996 Phil Donahue began hosting a local talk show in Dayton Ohio in 1967. By 1970, it was syndicated nationally. In 1977 Donahue moved his show to Chicago and the name of the show became known as simply DONAHUE. In January 1985, the show again moved, this time to New York. By the early 1990's Donahue's ratings were eclipsed by the Oprah Winfrey Show and other talk hosts.
