"Imposter vs  Icon":The Donahue Show Debacle 
   
   In this episode, we dive into one of the strangest and most surreal moments in daytime TV history: the 1991 episode of The Phil Donahue Show featuring a man falsely claiming to be Peter Criss, the original drummer of KISS. What started as a typical talk show segment quickly spiraled into a media circus involving tabloid journalism, confused fans, and a very real Peter Criss showing up to confront his imposter—live, on air.

We break down how this bizarre incident came to be, the role of The National Enquirer, the awkward on-air confrontation, and what it all meant for Criss and his reputation. Was it a simple case of mistaken identity, or something more calculated? Join us as we revisit a forgotten slice of '90s tabloid chaos.Do you love to learn the little tidbits and nuggets  of information regarding Kiss? Well, if so, we may be the place for you to call home.  So get comfortable and hold on as we take a wild ride into everything KISS and Don't forget, "If it's too loud, you're too old".
