There is one media personality Sally Jessy will always look up to: Phil Donahue, who hosted "Donahue," which ran for 28 years on national television. "I have, to this day, extremely high respect for that man," Sally Jessy says. "I think he did talk television when it was a decent art." What does she think of it today? "It's a crock of junk!"
