I used to enjoy watching it when he had Vladimir Posner as a guest: great conversation between the two and no attempts at one-upping each other. Posner was fascinating: he was officially a spokesperson for the USSR, not so much on Donahue but with his own show, Moscow Meridian, which was based in the USSR but broadcast in English and available as I recall on Cable TV. He and Donahue had some great in-depth conversations.
