| <\/td>\n | * = Tie<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n I am happy to congratulate Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on their honors.<\/p>\n As for O’Reilly, I would just like to note a few salient facts. First of all, he dropped 5 places this year, from #3 to #8. That may be partly because his fan base is dying off. The evidence of that is illustrated by his support amongst those over 62 for whom he was the #1 choice. It’s also notable that O’Reilly finished just one spot above Homer Simpson (D’oh!), who is making his first appearance in the top 10. My money says Simpson overtakes O’Reilly next year (Woo hoo!)
