David Letterman’s Top Ten List is probably one of the most iconic late-night talk show segments. While not always LOL hilarious, his nightly selection of tongue-in-cheek jabs has established itself as an essential part of modern pop culture and many people’s bedroom rituals.
During Wednesday night’s farewell episode of Late Night with David Letterman, the final list category, “Top Ten Things I’ve Always Wanted To Say To Dave,” was delivered by ten of Letterman’s celebrity friends and it couldn’t have been a more fitting tribute to the grand old man of late-night television.

10. Alec Baldwin: “Of all the talk shows, yours is most geographically convenient to my home.”
9. Barbara Walters: “Did you know that 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, 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.”
5. Chris Rock: “I’m just glad your show is being given to another white guy.”
