On Wednesday evening, Guest Host Week rolled on for "Piers Morgan Tonight," as advertising executive and television veteran Donny Deutsch pulled up a chair, sharing his unique blend of insight and entertainment.
Filling in for Piers Morgan who is on assignment across the pond, Deutsch sat down with journalist Meredith Vieira, alongside her husband Richard Cohen, and also welcomed actor Michael J. Fox to the program.
Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, Fox has since become a leading activist for research towards finding a cure. During the show, Deutsch aired a video segment from 2006, in which radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh suggested Fox exagerates his symptoms and condition for political and dramatic effect.
While Fox encourages discussion and debate around his message, he does take issue with an attack on his charcter:
"To have it summarily knocked down and marginalized on the basis of personalities, on the basis of he didn't like the way I delivered the message, and so his bullying instincts is to shut down and marginalize that voice, that's another thing altogether."
Later on the program meanwhile, Vieira and Cohen shared with Deutsch an honest and candid perspective on living with multiple sclerosis. A three-time Emmy award-winning CBS News journalist, Cohen was diagnosed with the disease nearly forty years ago, and offers insight into his illness:
"There are no heroes, there are no medals. A good life, a happy life, a successful life, a great family, a career, are their own rewards."
By the time Vieira met Cohen, he'd already been diagnosed. She says his disease never dictated her decisions:
"My attitude was, I cared about this person. You can get hit by a bus tomorrow, nobody knows what's going to happen. I let my emotion guide me, and my heart guide me, and I'll never regret it."
Watch the clips, and listen to the interviews, as Wednesday constituted a one-time only edition of "Donny Deutsch Tonight."

Hello: I watched Mr. Deutsch, Mr Fox last evening. Then unfortunately old Mr. Deutsch injected old news mentioning Mr. Limbaugh and his unfortunate remarks claiming Mr. Fox may be faking s/s of his Parkinson's Disease. It's just another example of the hypocrisy blathered by CNN, MSNBC and similar left wing news media. When I come home from a long day's work in a busy hospital I prefer a non-biased news network and that leaves out CNN. Please report ALL the condescending remarks of women, conservatives by old Bill Maher, Ed Schultz of The Ed Show, Chirs Matthews. What a sad bunch of baffoons you are.
Are you merely reciting the mandra chanted by your gurus at that virtuous news outfit known as Faux News?
Unfortunately, the OLD news is REPEATED, and repeated, and repeated by bigot, RUSH. Do you ACTUALLY ever LISTEN to the words he says. Perhaps you have a hearing problem, and there is definitely a need for you to hear this again. This isn't made up; listen to the UNEDITED stream of vitriol from his MOUTH.
Please let me know what hospital you work at, so I don't accidentally meet up with you. You're right about one thing; your days are far TOO long.
Was so happy to see and listen to Michael J Fox yesterday. Was a long time since I heard anything of him.
Always liked him for his acting work, since the days of Family Ties. And from what I get from the media from him, also as a person. Remarkable work with regards to parkinsons.
By the way, great job yesterday by Donny Deutsch too.
Richard Cohen's comment last night is as follows: "They remind me of sort of the American equivalent of the Taliban. You know, they want to drag women back to a different point in time." This comment is disgusting. He was referring to the Christian convervatives and their view of Planned Parenthood. Can't we agree to disagree without getting nasty. And Donnie or Meredith did nothing to admonish him. I used to respect her - that is changing. Wake up America or your freedom to disagree without insult or lies will disappear.
michael j. fox is such a phony when it comes to medical research. many people may not be aware that fox's brother-in-law is animal rights activist michael pollan who oppeses animal research, a position fox supports. fox accuses republican\s of being extreme but in 1990 fox wrote that he considers the life of an ant to be at the same level as his child's life. yes that's right michael j. fox who accuses republican's of being too extreme has compared his own child to an ant.
Courageous and enlightening i'view. Just touched on the subject of stem-cell research which is the best hope for these genetic, progressive diseases, Parkinsons, MS, Type 1 diabetes. If we hadn't endured an eight yr. hiatus on that research during W.'s yrs as POTUS, I wonder how much further ahead we would be at this point?
actually animal research is the best hope for these diseases. far more vital than stem cell
As a Parkinson's patient for the past 15 years I know that this disease has a mind of its own and symptoms can change from hour to hour. Anyone who cared enough to really understand should spend a day or two with someone afflicted and only then could they be qualified to comment.
Multiple sclerosis symptoms may be single or multiple and may range from mile to severe intensity and short to long in duration. :

Another opportunity in breaking up a long boring fence would is with the use of wire pattern work for vines. A fountain, pond or large boulders can complement the woodland garden theme. You may choose which plant would appear excellent at a selected stain.
