...being top rated means nothing if not enough people are watching to pay the bills.

Say Colbert's show hadn't been cancelled, and five years from now he still had the top rated show, but had less 500,000 people watching. What difference would "top rated" make in that situation?

And obviously you're free to believe or not believe whatever you choose.
