Dubbed “the king of daytime talk,” Donahue was the first to incorporate audience participation in a talk show, typically during a full hour with a single guest. “Just one guest per show? No band?” he remembered being routinely asked in his 1979 memoir, “Donahue, My Own Story.” MSTies may remember that his show was mentioned in a host segment in episode 211- FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS.  Soviet and Russian production designer Konstantin Zagorsky died August 18. He was 91 and was the winner of many awards, including the USSR State Prize in the field of literature, art and architecture (1982), Honored Artist of the RSFSR (1988), People’s Artist of the Russian Federation (1997).
