Last night talk show host David Letterman’s popular Top Ten List looked toward their northern neigbours Wednesday night, counting down the “Top Ten Perks Of Being Inducted Into Canada’s Walk of Fame in Toronto.
“Canada’s Walk of Fame celebrates the accomplishments of Canadians who have excelled in the arts, entertainment and sports,” said Letterman.
Top Ten List:
10) “Signed photo of Canada’s favourite son, Alan Thicke.”

5) “Box seats to all Expos home games!”
4) “Every year on your birthday Gordie Howe shows up and knocks you on your ass.”
3) “Let’s see, a celebration in Canada? Yeah, I think you might be able to get a beer or two.”
