York, North Dakota is mentioned humorously in the television show How I Met Your Mother starring Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders, and Neil Patrick Harris. In the episode, Ted, the lead character, mentions that he has a new architecture project updating the "new York public library", making it sound like it is the New York Public Library, but instead is the "public library of York, North Dakota". As mentioned in the show, the library has two sections, "fishing and non-fishing."[10]
