I see on another board the Greatful Dead sphere show has a Barton Hall appearance.

Can confirm that - the Grateful Dead & Cornell will forever be connected.

Quote from: George64In White Lotus, perhaps the most obnoxious character, among a host of really unlikable characters, Shane Patton, apparently went to Cornell, at least he wears a Cornell cap in episode 4, season 1.

He is wearing it again later in the season.  He is the most vile fictional Cornellian since the Objectivist waiter in Dirty Dancing.

White missed the mark, though.  Shane is pure Dartmouth failson.  

I'd proudly accept Armand as a Cornell Hotelie!

On Watson the one brother had a Princeton shirt on while the other had his Colgate one on as the safety school.

Until today I guess I never knew Chad Brown was a Cornell Alum. Rocking the shirt on tv today

Not exactly in the movies, but Professor Mike Fontaine parodied on SNL.  He joins Carl Sagan who was portrayed many times by Mike Myers.  Jane Goodall, an A.D. White professor, was also parodied on SNL.  Any others?

Does not appear they ever parodied Nabokov for Well You Know or Alan Bloom for the neocon cultural pity party.  Those are the two obvious Cornell faculty that made a ripple in the public space.

We are presumably not counting derps like Coulter and Maher.

Regarding your derp-ometer, being a radio nut I've been sampling Ithaca's airwaves since Thursday evening.  I was shocked to hear true local programming on HCU in the morning hours on Friday.  The station's local news is a true throwback as compared to anything I can find in the Albany market.  The programming I heard was not political - a cautionary tale of street paving amused me.
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."

That is good news.  I only know it from their SS Kiddie Hour leading into games.
