5.0 out of 5 stars Humor in the form of sound bites, March 6, 2005
By Charles Ashbacher "(cashbacher@yahoo.com)" (Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
The humor of the Late Night top ten lists has to be very difficult to write. While the topic provides some context, there is little else but common knowledge that the writers can use as a background. This means that the joke must be completely expressed in at most one or two short sentences. Despite this strict set of constraints, the lists are generally very funny, and this book is a collection of lists that appeared on the show before October 1990.
If you like your humor in small, easily digestible bites, then this is the book for you. Some lists will make you laugh, others will make you groan, but all will make you smile.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still Funny After All These Years, May 16, 2002
I have read this book many times, and it still makes me laugh. Even if you are not a fan of David Letterman and cannot imagine his delivery of these lists, you will still get a chuckle.

The only thing against the book is that it is a little dated. The first tipoff should be the picture of Dave on the front cover. He hasn't had that much hair in a while. Secondly, these lists were written in the late 80s so the younger generation may not get all the political and cultural references (such as references to Dan Qualye).

I would still recommend this book for anyone needing or wanting a laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Original Lists Preserved for Our Children, October 5, 2001
By D "sub" (Metro Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This book takes you back to the cutting edge humor of the Late Night early years (Ok, 1994). The lists are here, you provide the laughs. Believe it or not, the lists are funny enough to read and reread.

This book is an essential for the Letterman fan, especially new fans who don't know or remember the good ol' days.

This takes you back to the 80s, when Reagan was president, and Letterman was the choice in Late Night for the hip and pseudo-hip (like me). Read more
