Close enough

On the Colbert Report tonight, during the "interview" with Mary Roach, author of "Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife" (paraphrasing the exchange only so very slightly):

Colbert: ... isn't this just another East coast, intellectual, ivy league... you did go to an ivy league, right?

Roach: No, actually I went to Wesleyan.

Colbert: Close enough.
