Yeah, it's a countdown of the most influential Americans, and the viewers vote for who will be considered the greatest. I've only watched part of it, but I know he commented on Elvis, Walt Disney, and a few others in the entertainment industry...

The first time I caught the last part of the show, and saw John comment briefly on maybe 3 individuals. They were in the numbers from maybe 30 down to around 15 or so. His Elvis quip was quick but cute. I think Disney was another person he spoke of, and I can't remember who the third person was.
When they re-aired the 3-hour Top 100, I watched from the person at #100 down to about #35, and didn't see John commenting on anyone there.
It's really interesting to see what people consider a "great American". Some of them certainly fit the description, and others...ehhh...not so much.

I'm not sure if the order of the individuals in this countdown will change in the Top 25 version. It's one of these interactive things where people vote via internet, text message or phone, so I don't know if that means the individuals at the top will change position or what.
