I think you’re right. I’m pretty certain Rush has cited Nero Wolfe mysteries on a couple of occasions over the years. As a result I picked up a couple of the Rex Stout books.

I just became a fan of the Rex Stout Facebook page!

There was also a 1981 Nero Wolfe series which ran for only half a season, with Lee Horsley as Archie and William Conrad as Wolfe.
