I wondered if Rush was pranked with that Chelsea joke. Even back then, it just wasn’t his style to pick on a little kid.

Could be a Media Matters manufactured Urban Legend. I know I heard about it, but I never actually heard it.

Will have to do some digging.

I was also watching the show and remember it well because it was totally unexpected. Rush was just as surprised as everyone in the audience when the picture came up. He was embarrassed and immediately said to take it off. Whether it was an accident or one of his production staff did it on purpose, I don't know, but I believe Rush had no part in it. The production standards on that show were really low, so who knows who was hired to work the controls.
