There was a funny Rush reference in Jay Leno's monologue on Thursday night's Tonight Show. Toward the end of the monologue Jay says the following:

CNN did a story the other day about a dog who could keep a beat. Did you see this? Take a look, I'll show you... (shows news clip of dog keeping beat with his paw). I admit - that's pretty good. But you know my cat Bedalius? My cat is so much more talented. ...

Jay then shows a concert clip of his cat playing drums to Rush's Limelight. You can check it out at NBC.com at this link at about the 10:35 mark. Thanks to Power Windows for the heads up and the screenshot.
