First Lady Michelle Obama presents the “Top Ten Fun Facts About Gardening” on the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Tuesday, June 5.  Mrs. Obama taped tonight’s Top Ten List from the Map Room at the White House.

 

Among the items she presents include number 7:  “In his lifetime, the average American will eat half a radish”; number 6:  “The largest zucchini ever grown contained a Starbucks”; and number 5:  “Later this year, the Supreme Court will finally rule on ‘tomato’ vs. ‘tomahto.’”  Mrs. Obama’s entire Top Ten List can be seen on the LATE SHOW tonight (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

 

This is the First Lady’s second appearance on the LATE SHOW.  She last appeared on the program March 19, 2012.  Mrs. Obama’s Top Ten List focuses on gardening, tied to her new book, American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America, which was released in late May.  All author proceeds will benefit the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks.

 

Also featured on the LATE SHOW tonight are actor Neil Patrick Harris, star of the hit CBS comedy series “How I Met Your Mother” and host of “The 66th Annual Tony® Awards,” actress Noomi Rapace and musical guest Alan Jackson.
