After college, you ended up going to Columbia School of Journalism to get your master's degree.

Why did you think you needed a master's degree to get into journalism?
Did you learn anything useful in grad school?
I can't believe he's doing that joke this many years later.
Of course, you know me.
Yeah, that's true.
