Short story - aliens seek the wisdom of "Jimmy Dodd" (host of Mickey Mouse Show)

Question

I read this story in Asimov's from the 80s or 90s. There's a mission sent to an alien world that contacted Earth seeking guidance from Earth's greatest philosopher - Jimmy Dodd (host of the Mickey Mouse club). The human mission includes a woman old enough to have watched the show (and I think to have met Dodd and run a fan club) - she loved Dodd's sermonettes because her family life was awful. She becomes ends up staying with the aliens to guide them, since they are going through a cultural crisis (they know about Dodd through picking up Earth TV - but they're not up to "Mr. Rogers").

Answer 1

This is "Not Without Honor" by Judith Moffett.

It first appeared in the May 1989 issue of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.

A snippet from a goodreads review of this issue:

Aliens have come to Earth on the basis of watching The Mickey Mouse Club and are mortified to find that Jimmie Dodd has died in Judith Moffett’s “Not Without Honor.”
