Michigan’s Jeff Daniels was on “The Late Show with David Letterman” Wednesday night. The Michigan actor talked Upper Peninsula, Mackinac, “Dumb and Dumber” and baseball.
When asked by Letterman to list some things to do in Michigan, the Chelsea native was speechless.
“Actually, what you can do up there, and they do it very well, you can drink,” Daniels said when asked about the Upper Peninsula. “It’s woods. It’s fishing. It’s hunting and it’s drinking. ... They are proud of it, too!”
Daniels praised Letterman for his pronunciation of peninsula, but offered the TV host advice in pronouncing Mackinac.
“They built the Mackinac Bridge, and that’s only because the Upper Peninsula allowed it,” Daniels said.

Reaction on Twitter was mixed, but most tweets were quick to say Daniels missed an opportunity to talk up the state.
