===Other media appearances=== Limbaugh's first television hosting experience came March 30, 1990, as a guest host on [[Pat Sajak]]'s [[CBS]] late-night talk show, ''[[The Pat Sajak Show]]''.<ref>{{YouTube|LNK4byQkn7w|Rush Limbaugh guest-hosts the Pat Sajak show in 1990}}</ref> [[AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power|ACT UP]] activists in the audience<ref name="Newsday">{{cite news|first=Richard|last=Gehr|title=Mouth At Work|work=Newsday|page=4 |date=October 8, 1990|quote="For all his bravado, however, Limbaugh is immensely sensitive to charges of insensitivity. When asked about the racist they-all-look-alike connotation of a statement like `Have you ever noticed how all newspaper composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?` this professional talker from a family of lawyers pleads total innocence.`You may interpret it as that, but I, no, honest-to-God, that's not how I intended it at all. Gee, don't get me in this one. I am the least racist host you'll ever find.` Recalling a stint as an `insult-radio` DJ in Pittsburgh, he admits feeling guilty about, for example, telling a black listener he could not understand to `take that bone out of your nose and call me back.`"}}</ref> [[heckled]] Limbaugh repeatedly; ultimately the entire studio audience was cleared. In 2001, Sajak said the incident was "legendary around CBS".<ref>{{cite video|people=Sajak, Pat|title=Larry King Live| medium=TV series|publisher=[[CNN]]|date=May 3, 2001}}</ref> On December 17, 1993, Limbaugh appeared on the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]''.<ref>{{cite news|first=Tom |last=Maurstad|title=Stern, Limbaugh meet their match; Hosts Leno, Letterman hold their own in war|work=The Dallas Morning News|page=1C|date=December 20, 1993}}</ref> Limbaugh also guest-starred (as himself) on a 1994 episode of ''[[Hearts Afire]]''. He appeared in the 1995 [[Billy Crystal]] film ''[[Forget Paris]]'', and in 1998 on an episode of ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]''.<ref name="looper.com">{{cite web |last1=Greenbaum |first1=Aaron |title=Rush Limbaugh Cameos You Forgot Existed |url=https://www.looper.com/336666/rush-limbaugh-cameos-you-forgot-existed/ |website=looper.com |date=February 18, 2021 |access-date=May 22, 2021}}</ref> In 2007, Limbaugh made cameo appearances on [[Fox News Channel]]'s short-lived ''[[The 1/2 Hour News Hour]]'' in a series of parodies portraying him as the future [[President of the United States]]. In the parodies, his vice president was fellow conservative pundit [[Ann Coulter]]. That year, he also made a cameo in the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "[[Blue Harvest (Family Guy)|Blue Harvest]]", a parody of ''[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]'' in which Limbaugh can be heard on the radio claiming that the "liberal galactic media" were lying about [[climate change]] on the planet [[Hoth]], and that [[Lando Calrissian]]'s administrative position on [[Bespin|Cloud City]] was a result of [[affirmative action]]. His later appearances on ''Family Guy'' were in the 2010 episode "[[Excellence in Broadcasting]]", and 2011's "[[It's a Trap!|Episode VI: It's a Trap!]]", a parody of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.<ref name="looper.com"/>
