A fresh version of an iconic Freedom From Religion Foundation ad featuring Ron Reagan is set to premier on Rachel Maddow’s and Stephen Colbert’s highly watched shows.
The updated spot, in which the “unabashed atheist” is still notably “not afraid of burning in hell,” will debut on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show.” The ad is slated to run six times, starting Tuesday, Sept. 7, through Thursday, Sept. 9, and then from Tuesday, Sept. 14, through Thursday, Sept. 16.
The new 30-second spot will also appear six times on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” on CBS nationally, from Tuesday, Sept. 20, through Thursday, Sept. 22, and the week after from Tuesday, Sept. 28, through Thursday, Sept. 30.
This year is the first year that the CBS national network has accepted the ad.
From an interview conducted for the American Experience episode about Ronald Reagan.
When I drive my 2 year old son around, I'll put on music for him and CONAF for me (using earbuds due to occasional language).
While I was driving him home yesterday, I forgot to put in my earbuds. I risk it and put on the next episode, Ron Reagan. If you haven't heard, it has the most somber opening to any episode yet due to the Capitol insurrection happening the day before. Having a political figure on the show, I figured I had nothing to worry about with the language. If any episode were to be free of language, this must be it, right?
Well if you've heard the podcast, you've known where this was going for a while. About 5mins into the episode, Conan and Ron have what one might mistake for a swearing contest where they constantly egg each other on, getting worse and worse with the cursing.
I should've stopped at the first F bomb. After the second, it's just a barrage, and I had to quickly turn it off. Which is a shame, because I was really enjoying it. And I couldn't laugh unless I wanted my kid to pick up some new choice words.
Anyway, I thought it was kinda funny. Hope this was worth reading. I look forward to picking up the episode where I left off soon.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)
