'Survivors' Do Letterman's Top Ten List

David Letterman played the good corporate soldier on Thursday night, plugging the final episode of "Survivor: Africa" with a quiz and by dedicating his Top Ten List to the show.

Due to the time difference, Letterman didn't know the identity of the winner, but he picked Kim Johnson, one of the final two, as his choice. After asking her if she won, Johnson told Letterman, "I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you."

/>Later in the show, guest Jack Black ("Orange County" ) poked fun at the reality series by doing a spoof of Lindsey's audition tape for the show, in which she rides a bike while naked. Black showed his own tape, taken on a New York street, showing him riding almost nude.

All 16 survivors took part in the Top Ten via satellite from a Los Angeles studio while Letterman was taping "The Late Show" in New York.
