If Colbert is leading in the ratings, it doesn't matter how much higher the Tonight Show's viewer numbers were 20 years ago. An overall decline in viewership doesn't motivate a network to cancel its top rated show to save money. That show is making more money than its other shows. Dismissing this as just the workings of a dying industry doesn't make sense.
