David Letterman revisits Top 10 List for ‘Stupid Pet Tricks’ with Sarah Silverman

David Letterman is passing the torch — and it’s not to his “Late Show” successor, Stephen Colbert. 

In a teaser for the show “Stupid Pet Tricks,” shared exclusively with The Post, Letterman passes the mantle onto Sarah Silverman as he revisits his iconic Top Ten List segment.

Hosted by Silverman, 53, and premiering on Sunday at 5 p.m. (across TBS, Discovery, truTV and Animal Planet) after the Puppy Bowl (before its regular time slot of Mondays at 9 p.m. on TBS), “Stupid Pet Tricks” is a reimagining of the recurring segment that started on Letterman’s “Late Night” show in 1982. 

In the sneak peek of the new show, Silverman sits in her office on the Warner Bros. lot with Letterman, 76, sporting his now-iconic post-“Late Show” beard.

“David, I just have to say, hosting ‘Stupid Pet Tricks’ is a dream come true,” Silverman tells him. “You know how much I love animals!”

“By the way, I didn’t know you love animals,” Letterman replies. “But that’s good. And we’re not really going to be working that much together. You were on a list of Top 10 possibilities to host the show, based on availability.”

The clip then leans into the nostalgia of the Top Ten List, which was another famous Letterman segment, where the talk show host listed 10 things with a common theme. 

Silverman asks him who else made his Top 10 of hosts.

He rattles off names including Zach Galifianakis, Mindy Kaling and Jake from State Farm, as Silverman gets increasingly dismayed. 

“Couldn’t afford him,” Letterman explains, then continues his list: “Jeff Gillooly–”

“The guy that broke Nancy Kerrigan’s leg?” Silverman asks, referring to the ex-husband of disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, who was played by Sebastian Stan in the movie “I, Tonya.”

Letterman continues, “James Corden, Rupert from the Hello Deli. Literally anyone else–” 

“You know what,” Silverman interrupts. “I just feel like the point is, we ended up here. Together. Me and you. The passing of the torch … We are not gonna let you down, Dave.” 

The original Stupid Pet Tricks saw Letterman welcoming dogs and their owners to perform tricks. 

On Silverman’s variety show, each episode will feature pets performing tricks, along with a slew of celeb guest stars, including Letterman himself, Jon Hamm, Will Ferrell, Judd Apatow, Howie Mandel, Jack McBrayer, Charlotte McKinney, Reggie Watts and Jeff Ross.
