The reason I'm posting this is because the SNL actor mentions a little city in Upstate New York that is very near and dear to me...Schenectady. My Alma mater, Union College, is located here.

Now, though the skit does not bathe Schenectady in a positive light, I still get a thrill out of hearing the word spoken on the national stage.

Another example: This year's "Synecdoche, New York" directed by Charlie Kaufman also sparked interest in the city where Thomas Edison founded what would become the General Electric Company.

Sort of.
