Ever since he left office a somewhat defeated, but still humorous man, we've been wondering what former Gov. David Paterson might do for an encore. Considering his abiding love for radio, we thought that might be one option. But it seems he has more collegiate aspirations: Paterson announced today that he will be "joining the faculty" at NYU. He also said he expected to reveal more about his position tonight in a presentation at the school. "I thought I was going to sit in the sun. But I've come back," he said during an appearance on WOR this morning. What might he be teaching? SNL parodies 101?
