John Lennon and Yoko Ono co-hosted the show for a week. Here's what Douglas had to say about one of the guests they picked out, Jerry Rubin:
He just got on my nerves. It sounded like this guy hated the president, the Congress, everyone in business, the military, all police and just about everything America stands for.RIP, Mike.

You're blaming Nixon on Mike Douglas?
dave, Nixon was President of the US. Hope this helps.
MD was on in the afternoon when I got home from school. I vaguely recall multi-colored circles on the set, which I'd see as I channel hopped by him. (What teenager was watching Mike Douglas when the Flintstones were on!?)

Mike Douglas rocked. He introduced the world to Tiger Woods -- a 4 year old or so driving into a screen.
I blame Arsenio Hall for Bill Clinton. Letting that guy wear ZZ Top sunglasses and blow anything on TV was too much.
Following Art's prompting... by extension Roger Ailes is responsible for Gerald Ford -- and also Jimmuh Carter since Carter beat an inept campaigner in Ford. And then he's responsible for Reagan since Reagan beat the wussy-like Carter (if only he could've treated Iranian fanatics like he did killer bunnies)and Bush I since he rode Reagan's coattails.... And we all know as an article of faith that FOXNews wrangled a Bush "victory" in 2000 and '04.
That leaves Arsenio Hall as the fly in the ointment to Roger Ailes' universal domination of American Presidential politics -- the real muscle behind Rove and Cheney. Arsenio better watch his back.
Madison Man: "What teenager was watching Mike Douglas when the Flintstones were on!?"
Go over to YouTube and search for Mike Douglas and see how many rock bands were on. But now that I think of it, I only watched in the 60s. I didn't even have a TV when John and Yoko co-hosted. I think I remember wanting to watch, but not enough to acquire a TV.
Wait, so who's the guy who was on 60 Minutes?
That colorful background was those giant asterisks that signified flowers in the visual language of the 60s. Those things were everywhere, most notably as rubbery things that you stuck onto the bathtub to keep people from slipping while taking a shower. But what were those flower graphics called? There was a name for them. It's driving me crazy (and it's hard to Google).
Mike Douglas is dead? This is certainly not news to his wife, Cathy Zeta-Jones.
