Tonys Top Ten! David Letterman on How to Fix the Tony Awards

David Letterman had the Tonys on his brain when he revealed his nightly Top Ten list on the June 11 episode of Late Show with David Letterman: "Top 10 Ways to Make the Tony Awards More Exciting." The theme was an appropriate one, as Tony host Sean Hayes was the top guest on the show, and CBS airs both Late Show and the 2010 Tony telecast, which will be presented live on Sunday, June 13 at 8PM.
