So I was rewatching the opening scene of The Newsroom's pilot episode, where Will McAvoy is making an appearance at North Western.


Now, where he says "Yosemite?" in a derisive tone, I don't understand the reference.

I thought we could do a sort of give-and-take here, where you put up a reference you don't understand, and help out if somebody else does the same with a reference you do.

Generally just trying to spread the knowledge.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT EXPLAIN THE JOKE. Just give the information that allows people to understand the joke/comment for themselves.

So, to start off, what's 'Yosemite' in this instance?

P.S. Emily Mortimer is more attractive in The Newsroom (age 42) than she was in The Kid (age 29). Not particularly relevant, but there you go.
