The folks at CBS's "Late Show" took a shot at Keith Olbermann Thursday with the help of cartoon character Homer Simpson.

Commemorating 20 years of "The Simpsons" being on air, Homer was asked to give Thursday's Top Ten list.

The topic: "Top Ten Things I've Learned From The Last 20 Years of Television."

At number seven was "Widesceen televisions were invented to accommodate Keith Olbermann's enormous head" (video embedded below the fold with complete list, h/t Story Balloon):
