Episode Details

Marlo Thomas graces the opening night of Every Brilliant Thing in Manhattan, joined by Diane Sawyer and Candice Bergen — a rare public appearance since the passing of her beloved husband, Phil Donahue, in August 2024. The legendary talk show host, who died at 88 after a long illness, was married to Marlo for 44 years, beginning with their meeting on his show in 1977. Marlo, now channeling resilience through her work as St. Jude’s outreach director, recently returned to Today to spotlight the hospital’s mission — and candidly shared her grief, drawing strength from her community and comparing her journey to that of anchor Sheinelle Jones. Her grace, dedication, and public presence continue to inspire.
