It’s here -- David Letterman’s last Top 10 List.

(Spoiler alert: Don’t read on if you haven’t seen the show yet.)

The host of CBS’ “Late Show With David Letterman” taped his last show before retirement on Wednesday, and it included the final installment of his celebrated Top 10 list, which has become a nightly staple over the past 30 years. He had some help from some of his best-known guests.

The topic was “Top 10 Things I’ve Always Wanted to Say to Dave.”
