That's right. The Colbert Report has booked Rush to appear Wednesday night (11:30 PM/EST). That's Rush the band, not Rush Limbaugh, the radio yapper. Limbaugh would no doubt have been the butt of countless jibes -- assuming he would even submit to the possibility of being kidded -- but he's not coming on the show.
Rush, the Canadian band, will not have to worry about Colbert's rapier wit. They're coming on the show to sing.
This is a real feather in the cap for The Colbert Report. Rush has not appeared on American TV in over 30 years, and they're going to perform "Tom Sawyer," their most-famous song. |

Noticed Geddy had a stack behind him as opposed to the usual rotisseries, etc , but suspect that was for show; anyone know?
Off to see them this Saturday so this thoroughly whetted my appetite! |

Even though I don't think the commercials should have cut into the song after Rush hasn't been on American TV in over 30 years, I still think that's funny.
