Letterman Skewers AstroNUT

Click to return to TMZ.comAmerica's new favorite astronaut, Lisa Nowak, was the subject of the Top Ten list on "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night -- as a cautionary tale.

David counted down the "Top Ten Signs an Astronaut Is Trying to Kill You." Our personal favorites were, "She poisons your Tang" and "She keeps stabbing you with a pen that writes upside down."

1. I love David Letterman. So I hate to say how wrong he is on this one: it is never OK to make fun of anyone's disabilities.

3. Wonder how David would feel if people did a top ten on him, i.e., not married to mother of his child, when he confronts others who are not married. What about being a sore loser not getting the Tonight Show?? So he won't speak to Jay after all these years? How about the fact that he does not talk to the people he is interviewing during commercials, etc. No one seems to pick at this man, and he is useless to many. Yes, you can all yell he is better than Jay, but I don't watch Jay either. I gave them up a long time ago because Leno is mean, and Jay can be silly. So yell all you want, I don't care. This man needs to grow up,

5. Leno is soooooo much funnier than Letterman.

Letterman reminds me of the uncle who visits during the holidays with
bad breath, lame gifts and stale jokes.

Now that's funny !

6. I think Dave's jokes about astronauts are very funny. It was my close relationship with Dave that led me to approch him and his producer about helping with the greatest illussion ever performed. I also approched people at SNL & Fridays along with Alan Abel. For example: “Andy (Kaufman) asked to speak privately to both me and Jack (Burns). We moved into a quiet room away from the others, and Andy closed the door, making sure no one besides us could hear. He told us he was about to embark on the greatest prank of his career and made us swear we would never repeat it to a living soul. He then told us it would be the biggest thing in the history of show business, then he lowered his voice and said, ‘I’m going to fake my death, go into hiding, and then reappear.’” -- John Moffitt (producer of the television show Fridays)

7. maybe a little too soon for this, but it was funny. How can you even compare Letterman and Leno. I like them both, but Letterman is just a very funny man....he can and does just sit there and get a laugh....hes just funny. Leno has some great writers and does seem a little warmer.....but hes just not as funny....both very entertaining though.
