The news item also prompted Letterman to talk about Potsdam and ask where it is located.

According to the Wahoo Gazette on Letterman's website, "I also heard Dave wondering where Potsdam, New York is. Hmmm, what I know about Potsdam is they have a good SUNY college hockey team. It's located straight up north from New York City and you make a left just before Canada."
