Luke Russert, son of the “Meet the Press” host Tim Russert, worked at City Hall during summer 2007. In an interview, Mr. Russert said that he juggled two internships that summer — one at the mayor’s office, the other at NBC, working for Conan O’Brien.

Asked what role his connections played in landing [these internships], he said: “I don’t really know about that. I went through the application process like anyone else.”

“I did not have the traditional internship,” he said, quickly adding that when he was at City Hall, “I was like everyone else.”

Huh? Everyone else was flipping burgers at Pup N' Taco.
