cupcake car

That headline isn't a code for anything else you might be thinking, I'm saying he actually slammed a cupcake into a tree, during his annual Christmas toys show.

It was the Late Show Christmas tree, to be precise. Guess they'll have to redo the whole thing now. (By the way, that cupcake costs $25,000.)

On an annual segment with toy expert Shannon Eis featuring best new toys for the holidays, David Letterman manhandled a realistic toy cat and Zhu Zhu Hamsters, then got behind the wheel of a $25,000 motorized toy in the shape of a gigantic cupcake.

Letterman careened around the stage in a Cupcake Car and left a path of destruction in his wake, crashing into set pieces and laying waste to the 'Late Show' Christmas tree.
