Carol Perkins: Remembering Phil Donahue Previous Column: Who Knew? By Carol Perkins I was a fan of Phil Donahue. I taped every show and watched them late at night after everyone had gone to bed. His guests were not only celebrities but also controversial guests, such as KKK members and a group of White Supremacists. I think even Phil was nervous. Back in the 1970s, when Guy had gone to work for a company in the Chicago area, we were invited to a dinner/meeting with company management. Guy knew some of the men, but I knew no one. When I learned we were going to be in the Chicago area, I wrote for tickets to the Donahue Show. I remember where I was when I opened the envelope, and four tickets fell out. You would have thought I'd hit the lottery. Four tickets? I was confident that two others would want to go with us. Keep in mind, I knew no one there. As I mingled with the ladies the night of the dinner, I found my ticket holders.
