1. America loves performers with bad hair -- right, Dave?

Notice how they made the No. 1 item all about Dave? Kelly Ripa could learn a thing or two from Letterman's writers.

"Seems like a nice kid -- know what I'm saying?" Letterman said after Sanjaya left the stage. Shaffer said he'd love to hear the "Ooohhhh hooo" thing again.

"Get him out here!" Letterman said. When Sanjaya reappeared, Shaffer asked where he got the "Ooohhhh hooo" thing.

"My very own song," Sanjaya said. At their request he sang it again and left again.

"He seems a little too comfortable here. Two times he didn't want to leave!" said Letterman, the guy who had dragged Sanjaya back.

"Where's he got to go?" Shaffer sniffed.

Sanjaya's exhausting day included a visit to Nickelodeon's MeTV block of programming, where he was interviewed by Alexandra Gizela:

Alex: What does your name mean?

Sanjaya: Spiritual psychic.
