David Letterman's Book of Top Ten Lists and Zesty Lo-Cal Chicken Recipes

by David Letterman and the Late Show with David Letterman Writers

It's like watching TV -- with the added danger of paper cuts!

Top Ten Apologies to People Buying This Book:

10.      Cheap glue will only hold the thing together for about six days.

9.      Some kids sneaked into the printing plant and added the word "ass" to a lot  of the lists.

8.      It costs about a dime to print one of these babies -- now take a look at the retail price, sucker!

7.      We're using the money we make to buy "little Dutch girl" outfits for Dave's poodles.

6.      The book was hastily assembled overseas by jabbering foreigners who don't give a damn about you or your family.

5.      A drunk maintenance guy fell into the press and parts of him appear on pages 68-87.

4.      Felt safe making jokes about the Amish on TV; forgot some of them might actually see the book.

3.      Dave insisted on writing some of these and we had to play along.
.
2.      There is no remote control. Don't look for one.

1.      The book ain't much better than the TV show.

Excerpt: In early 2010, American television network NBC and two of its late-night talk show hosts, Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno, engaged in a media and public relations conflict over the host and airtime of the network's longtime program The Tonight Show. On January 7, 2010, NBC announced that effective March 1, 2010, Leno's program The Jay Leno Show would be moved from the 10:00pm weeknight time slot to 11:35pm and O'Brien's program The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien would be moved from 11:35pm to 12:05am. The scheduling change was attributed to poor ratings of both shows and resultant pressure from NBC affiliates and NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker. Though not a breach of either host's contract, the change resulted in a public outcry and public demonstrations largely in support of O'Brien. Shortly after NBC made the schedule change proposal, O'Brien indicated that he would quit his show and leave the network if NBC were to implement it, citing the "destruction" of the venerable franchise which had aired at or around 11:30 pm for over 60 years. The controversy surrounding the sch...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25824966 ... Read more

His father, Harry Joseph Letterman (April 1915 February 1973), was a florist; his mother Dorothy Letterman (née Hofert, now Dorothy Mengering), a Presbyterian church secretary of German descent, is an occasional figure on the show, usually at holidays and birthdays. He has an older sister Janice and a younger sister Gretchen. Letterman lived on the north side of Indianapolis (Meridian-Kessler area), not far from Speedway, IN, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and he enjoyed collecting model cars, including racers. In 2000, he told an interviewer for Esquire that, while growing up, he admired his father's ability to tell jokes and be the life of the party. Harry Joseph Letterman survived a heart attack at age 36, when David was a young boy. The fear of losing his father was constantly with Letterman as he grew up. The elder Letterman died of a second heart attack at age 57. Letterman attended his hometown's Broad Ripp...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=8340 ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Thomas Gottschalk (b. 18 May 1950 in Bamberg, Germany) is a famous German TV host. He is best-known for hosting the popular show Wetten, dass..?, which he has led to a huge success in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and South Tyrol. Gottschalk was born in the German city of Bamberg as the son of a lawyer. After attending the Humanistisches Gymnasium (Humanistic gymnasium) in Kulmbach, he studied history and German philology, eventually taking his exams as a teacher for primary and secondary schools; however, it was during this time that he discovered his true vocation: entertainment. From 1971 on, Gottschalk worked as a freelancer for the youth program of the Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian radio); in 1973, he became anchor for a news program. In 1976, after a brief detour to the newspaper Münchner Merkur, he became a regular employee of the Bayerischer Rundfunk, and subsequently gained popularity as the host of the show Pop nach acht. He was awarded the Kurt-Magnus-Preis for his "outstanding talents" as a radio host in 1978. His career continued with him hosting the TV show Telespiele from 1977 onwards; the show was first broadcast on the Bayerischer Rundfunk's television channel, and switched to th...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ...

Chapters: List of David Letterman Sketches. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 306. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: CBS's Late Show with David Letterman regularly features different sketches that follow the monologue and precede interviews with guests. Often these are repeated absurdist segments, involving various cast members, Dave's friends, audience participation, edited or contrived news or promotional videos, or competitions or stunts staged outside the Ed Sullivan Theater. Currently, the show's regularly scheduled segments consist of "Small Town News" on Mondays and "Fun Facts" on Fridays. Thursdays often feature a rotating set of three audience participation segments: "Know Your Current Events", "Stump the Band", and "Audience Show and Tell." "Stupid Pet Tricks" and "Stupid Human Tricks", two of Letterman's trademark bits from Late Night, continue to be presented on the Late Show, though much less frequently. There are also running gags, which may continue for about a month, such as playing "José Feliciano's Old Turkey Buzzard" or other sound effects when a card "crashes through the window" or telephone calls from "Len Easton, California Highway Patrol" or Joe McCain on a telephone that Dave acknowledges is a prop that is not connected. Dave expresses amusement or annoyance when these recur. This article focuses on sketches that have been featured on the Late Show, past and present. Announcer Alan Kalter's introduction of Letterman, while technically not a skit, assigns a bizarre modification to Letterman's name and appears at the beginning of every show. ("And now: Microscopic Sea Creature, David Letterman!") Letterman's title changes every night and often makes reference to a current event. ("And now: Disenfranchised French Youth, David Letterman!")
