David Letterman returned to the Late Show after negotiating separately with the WGA. He had writers who are still on strike deliver last night's Top Ten List of writers' demands:

10: "Complimentary tote bag with next insulting contract offer"
(From "The Daily Show," Tim Carvell)

9: "No rollbacks in health benefits, so I can treat the hypothermia I caught on the picket lines"
(From "The Colbert Report," Laura Krafft)

8: "Full salary and benefits for my imaginary writing partner, Lester"
(Daytime television writer, Melissa Salmons)

7: "Members of the AMPTP must explain what the **** AMPTP stands for"
(From "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," Warren Leight)

6:"No disciplinary action taken against any writer caught having an inappropriate relationship with a copier"
(From "The Colbert Report," Jay Katsir)

5:"I'd like a date with a woman"
(From "The Daily Show," Steve Bodow)

4: "Hazard pay for breaking up fights on 'The View'"
(Writer and Director, Nora Ephron)

3: "I'm no accountant, but instead of us getting 4 cents for a $20 dollar DVD, how about we get $20 for a 4-cent DVD?"
(From "Law & Order," Gina Johnfrido)

2: "I don't have a joke -- I just want to remind everyone that we're on strike, so none of us are responsible for this lame list"
(From "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," Chris Albers)

1: "Producers must immediately remove their heads from their *****"
(Thurber Award-winning author, Alan Zweibel)

Ha! My favorite part of his show is always those crazy, yet hilarious Top Ten Lists he does.
