This may be the most prominent pop-cultural mention we've got so far; previous TV mentions were mostly on late-night cable shows like The Colbert Report, but this is on a major network (if you call Fox that) in prime time (7 or 8 PM - 11 PM in the U.S.). It's perhaps related that the Wikipedia traffic ratings spiked up again in Alexa at that time, with the rank at a new record of #8.
I'm fairly certain I've heard wikipedia referred to a number of times on prime time tv. I think they did it on a Gilmore Girls episode (and yeah, I love Gilmore Girls, and I'm proud of it!) or something. Richard Roeper definitely talked about it on Ebert & Roeper, but that probably doesn't count.
