Since the ratings for "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" — currently lighting it up with a 0.1 rating — have been so bad, and now that head overlord Mark Shapiro is leaving, people are wondering if Smith's show is still safe without Shapiro's protective cover. We're still confused about how Smith got the show in the first place, but at this point, we don't want it cancelled: We're just a couple weeks from "The Magic Hour" country now, and that's something we all should witness.
