I've absolutely used his signature "aim the mic at the guest in a dramatic manner" after asking a question (even though they are likely covered by a boom mic) gesture.

“I was fired because I did not support the invasion of Iraq,” he added. “I thought I was going to be a hit because I was different. Everybody else was beating the war drums. I wanted to get on the air and say, 'Why are you doing this?’”

Donahue said the firing essentially ended his TV career.
