Late Show Top Ten List
The Top Ten List was a regular segment of the television programs ''Late Night with David Letterman'' and the ''Late Show with David Letterman.'' Each night, host David Letterman would present a list of ten items, compiled by his writing staff, that circulated around a common theme.
The lists were usually given humorous topics such as, ''Top Ten Signs Your Kid Had A Bad First Day At School'' or, ''Top Ten Rejected James Bond Gadgets'' or based on current events. Letterman would also occasionally give an intentionally absurd and mundane category, such as ''(Top Ten Numbers Between One and Ten )'', drawing humor from the silliness of ranking such mundane items.〔
== Origin ==
Letterman's top ten skit was thought of when Steve O'Donnell was head writer of the Late Night Letterman show. According to O'Donnell, the Top Ten List was an "almost simultaneous inspiration arriving from staffers Jim Downey, Randy Cohen and Robert “Morty” Morton — largely prompted by the ridiculous 'eligible bachelor' lists in a local New York paper that included the 84-year-old Bill Paley. 'Why, we can put such nonsense together ourselves!' we exclaimed. And we did."
On September 18, 1985, the very first list, "The Top Ten Things That Almost Rhyme With Peas" was broadcast.
