On the March 19, 2008 broadcast of the late-night CBS talk show, ''Late Night with David Letterman'', most of the central cast of the [[Re-imagined Series]] presented '''The Top Ten Reasons to Watch the New Season of ''Battlestar Galactica'''''. The cast was assembled as a humorous promotion of [[Season 4]], the final season of the Re-imagined Series, and appeared in costume and generally in character (although [[Jamie Bamber]] delivered his joke with his natural accent). The actors were introduced by their character names, not their real names.
