Barbra Walters annual special 'The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2011' aired last night on ABC. The list is always revealed a few weeks before the air date except for the number one spot, that is always kept a secret. See the video on the next page on the man who got that number one slot.

Steve Jobs took the title of the most fascinating person of 2011. Since the special began 18 years ago, one of the main criteria for making the list is that the people must be living. That rule was broken this year for the first time and I think they definitely made the right choice.

The rest of the top ten were:

2. Herman Cain

3. Simon Cowell

4. Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson

5. Katy Perry

6. The Kardashians

7. Donald Trump

8. Derek Jeter

9. Amanda Knox

10. Pippa Middleton

I don't agree with all of these, but choosing Steve Jobs as number 1 was the perfect choice. Click here to see the video from last nights show.
