Stephen Colbert Prepped Taking Over for Letterman With a Top 10 - VIDEOS

As you probably know by now, Stephen Colbert will be taking over for David Letterman in 2015. So to prep for that glorious future moment he went on The Late Show with David Letterman.

While on the program, he talked about that time 17 years ago that he submitted a Top 10 list to the show while trying to get a writing gig.

It was called "Top Ten Cocktails for Santa" because he's an adult male who really doesn't always want milk and cookies. You can watch Colbert read that above.

He also got offered an internship with David Letterman once upon a time. And if you're interested you can view that anecdote below.
