    "There isn’t much to state Sen. Sylvia Larsen’s Wikipedia page. In fact, the entry is only two sentences long. It reads: 'Sylvia Larsen is a Democratic member of the New Hampshire Senate, representing the 15th District since 1994. From 2006 through 2010, when Democrats regained control of the chamber, Larsen served as Senate President.' Wikipedia is good for a lot of things, but it doesn’t do a very good job of putting Larsen’s 20 years of service to her district... and the state of New Hampshire in perspective."

You know, you are so not famous outside of that world; you don't have a Wikipedia entry! In fact -"
      • Gordon: "I know!" (laughs)
      • Gross: "when I found out... wait, really, when I found out you didn't have a Wikipedia entry, my first reaction was, 'Oh no! The film is actually a mockumentary and not a real documentary; the whole thing is made up!' And then..."
