The former “Everybody Loves Raymond” star is creating buzz and it has nothing to do with her new web comedy series “Versailles.”  This Monday Patricia Heaton was a guest on the Adam Carolla show; she used the opportunity to attempt to convert the well known atheist to Christianity.

“I think it’s interesting that you keep having these born agains come into your life – your driver, the guys you were in construction with,” Heaton said on the show. “C.S. Lewis calls those the hounds of heaven.”

The fact that this took place just a few days after Harold Camping rapture scam left the doors wide open for Corolla, but surprisingly he didn’t express opposition to the religious advances. Instead he admitted he was comfortable in his state of apathy towards it all.

“My whole thing is I’m an atheist. I’ll be over here taking a nap. If you want to spend your weekend volunteering … God bless you. Get more of those gang bangers off our streets. I’ll be the lazy atheist sitting around at home. I’ll be reaping the rewards of you pulling the gang bangers off the streets and giving them food.”

Update (Thursday, 2/19): CBS Radio has now officially confirmed all of the information reported here. KLSX will change to “AMP RADIO” this Friday, February 20, at 5 p.m. The new format is described as “playing all the hits.” Friday will mark the final broadcasts for Adam Carolla, Tom Leykis, and Frosty, Heidi, and Frank. Thus far, none of them has discussed their plans for the future.

Earlier in the week, multiple sources had corroborated reports that Carolla’s radio show had been cancelled and that Carolla had been let go. Some rumors correctly suggested his home station, Los Angeles’s 97.1 KLSX, was preparing to switch from its current talk format to a more top-40-style format. Other speculation correctly suggested the change would leave KLSX personality Tom Leykis out of a job as well.

As for the format shift, radio gossip site RadioInsight first discovered that the domains AmpRadioLA.com, Amp971.com, and Amp971fm.com were all registered anonymously on February 9. Additionally, AmpRadio971.com and 971AmpRadio.com were registered in the name of programming consultant Anthony Acampora about a month ago. (Amp Radio is evidently a youth-oriented format that’s been used in other markets.)

Carolla, interestingly, signed a “multiyear extension” for his “Adam Carolla Show” program at the end of 2007. A CBS Radio exec said at the time that the show had “far exceeded [CBS's] expectations and proven to be a listener favorite,” even adding that he “anticipate[d] even more success for the program in the years to come.”
