I lived in NYC in 1988 and I do recall seeing that ad one time on television there. It caught my eye because it was Bob Hope and because he seemed extraordinarily stiff and uncomfortable in his delivery of the message. I never saw it again, but I am positive I saw it that one time.

I saw this ad too and was always impressed that Mr. Hope had made this ad!

I loved that ad! I didn't think he was stiff and uncomfortable at all, he seemed a bit indignant. I admire someone of his stature who is/was willing to stand up and speak the truth no matter how controversial it is. Yea Bob hope, you rock!

In Chicago I had a program called the "The 10% Show." We ran it a number of times and loved it.

The Bob Hope anti-defamation ad ran rather frequently in New York on TV, almost always late at night. It was always paired with an unintentionally funny ad narrated by Katharine Hepburn about cleaning up the Long Island Sound. The Hope ad seemed like a joke because he did not -- in that setting -- seem sincere.

Bob Hope died yesterday and I had no idea he ever did this PSA. I am touched and moved that he did this.

I've never seen the ad on TV and I'm surprised he did this PSA. It's nice to have him do this ad in 1988.

I was working for the Gay Cable Network when this PSA was first aired! I was so touched by this ad and to come from Bob Hope made it VERY special it should be aired again!

I wrote the PSA and negotiated with Bob Hope's people for it. We did distribute the PSA to many stations across the country, and for months we heard reports of it playing in different places. It never played on a national "network" basis, but it did play on numerous local stations around the country.

This ad also appeared on The Joan Rivers Talk Show at least once.
