`60 MINUTES' CELEBRATION A TOP 10 EVENT

Among the entertainment industry figures who were at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York last week for a celebration of "60 Minutes" 25th anniversary was David Letterman, who read a specially tailored "Top 10" list.

Since it'll never air on TV, we give it to you here in its entirety:

"The Top 10 things the `60 Minutes' staff doesn't want you to know":

10. Stop watch is five minutes fast.

9. Andy Rooney is really two guys in a big suit.

8. Off camera, Ed Bradley makes interns call him Debbie.

7. Morley Safer? Born with a furry tail.

6. Diane Sawyer was forced to leave the show after a little problem with petty cash.

5. There hasn't been a new segment since 1989.

4. Nobody actually watches the show, but Nielsen knows what to do to avoid an investigation.

3. Steve Kroft spends a lot of time investigating himself, if you know what I mean.

2. Like Lassie, there have been five different Mike Wallaces.

1. The woman who keeps breaking into my house? Lesley Stahl. - Newsday
