Note: I left out one -- "Top Ten Things That Sound Sexy When Said by America's Next Top Model" from December 16, 2004 -- because it just plainly sucked.

There was another Top Ten list presented by James Earl Jones -- "Top Ten Effects of Y2K" on December 31, 1999 -- but it wasn't in the "When Spoken by" category, so I didn't include it here.

  • I legitimately wonder how many people in this world owe their existence to Barry White's voice
  • @ninjacrumbs
    Barry`s support vocalists really cemented how funny that list was.

    James Earl Jones can make the words ‘prostate exam’ sound regal . 👍🏾
  • @jntj3007
    Barry White was killin' it!!!👍👍👍👍👍!!!
  • 1:14 James Earl Jones stood there James Earl Jonesly. Wearing his James Earl Jones suit, and his James Earl Jones glasses, he took a contented moment to think to himself "Gee, I sure am James Earl Jones"
  • @RobLives4Love
    Barry White saying gubernatorial ALWAYS make me laugh
  • Thanks for this, I grew up with Letterman and forgot how incredible the show was.

    I have a picture of the James Earl Jones Top 5. It was absolutely killing me so I grabbed my camera and took a picture of the screen during the broadcast. And I vividly remember the Barry White. Glorious. Thank you.

    The 'Most Replayed' feature reveals who is the best. Even Barry White's supporting singer ladies are excellent. "Keep our love aliiiiive, do that number five!"
  • I watched the whole thing and laughed and loved all. Thanks 🎉
  • @rockturtleneck
    Malkovich gets my vote for best Top Ten ever. Thanks so much for putting this together
  • @davidleedutton
    Marilyn Horne was in the first opera I ever saw, Bellini's Norma, and she had a voice that could melt an iceberg.
  • @Eggmanontheair
    I like the fact that Dave's wearing the same tie for # 5 and # 6.
  • @stevenj9970
    Goes to show how GREAT an actor John Malkovitch is..........communicating so much with so few facial gestures.
