Here's David Letterman's Final 'Top 10' List

 

Wednesday night was a historic one in the late night talk show landscape: David Letterman ended his run on the "Late Show" on CBS, airing his final episode.

 

It was a star-studded event of course, featuring many of the past guests that Letterman has had in his decades-long career in late night.

 

The show even started with footage of the last five American presidents all reading the same line, originally spoken by Lyndon B. Johnson: "Our long national nightmare is over." That segment ended with President Obama adding, "David Letterman is retiring."

 

Of course, there was one segment that every viewer knew was coming: Letterman's final Top Ten list. The Top Ten is the one bit that was included in almost every episode of the Late Show with Letterman at the helm, and the final one had each item on the list read by an A-list celebrity.

 

Here's the list, as read on the show:

 

10. Alec Baldwin: "Of all the talk shows, yours is the most geographically convenient to my home."

 

9. Barbara Walters: "Did you know you wear the same cologne as Muammar Qaddafi?"

 

8. Steve Martin: Your extensive plastic surgery was a necessity...and a mistake."

 

7. Jerry Seinfeld: "I have no idea what I'll do when you go off the air. You know what, I just thought of something: I'll be fine."

 

6. Jim Carrey: "Honestly Dave, I've always found you to be a bit of an over-actor." (He gesticulated wildly).

 

5. Chris Rock: "I'm just glad your show is being given to another white guy." (Dave: "You know, I had nothing to do with that.")

 

4. Julia Louis-Dreyfus: "Thanks for letting me take part in another hugely disappointing series finale." (Seinfeld smirks). (Dave: "I had nothing to do with that either.")

 

3. Peyton Manning: "Dave, you are to comedy what I am to comedy."

 

2. Tina Fey: "Thanks for finally proving men can be funny."

 

1. Bill Murray: "Dave, I'll never have the money I owe you."
