From what I saw when they were in Boston he generally picks a 
random number from the audience (who leave them in a box) and
then reads some more off of a sheet (evidently copies of those
mailed in).  The number he reads is dependent on how the timing
of the show is going.  The letters provide the filler so that
everything works out exactly right.
