ABOUT: PHIL DONAHUE, the number one syndicated television talk-show host in America, tells his own remarkable life story in this candid, entertaining, fast-paced autobiography, from his childhood in Cleveland during the 1940s to his present success with Donahue, the show watched daily by millions of loyal viewers in over 200 cities nationwide. Donahue begins by describing his mixed feelings about being a celebrity, examining "the special neuroses of famous people." He recalls what it was like to grow up as an Irish Catholic in the atmosphere of pride and prejudice following World War II, writing humorously about his first fistfight, his first kiss ("the briefest and driest moment in all erotica") and his years at Notre Dame ("Living all week with George O'Donnell and being constantly surrounded by guys, at the `cal.,' in Cost Accounting class . . . everywhere . . . did more for weekend lust than a low-budget porno film"). He recalls how for months after graduating from college he couldn't get a job in his field at all, and describes his early years as an announcer and radio and TV journal-ist in Adrian, Michigan, and Dayton, Ohio (" `. . . Mrs. Nixon, you've had a number of proud moments in your life . . .' and when I said 'proud' I spat right in her eye").
