9. The image first appeared in "Kermit the Frog's 1996 Advertising Parodies!" calendar

8. "Too Late" was used for the month of January

7. it was released as a poster



 6. and as a t-shirt

5. with its own Top Ten list on the back!

3. Johnny Fiama was accused of stealing Letterman's bit with his "Top Ten Reasons Chicks Dig Me" segments on Muppets Tonight's 'The Johnny Fiama Show'



2. The "Too Late" image was a big part the Muppet Parodies product line - the tag line was "The Sincerest Form of Flattery"
