Note that Meyers, ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and CBS's "Late Late Show with James Corden" aired Friday encores.

For the week, Fallon generated a +38% margin over CBS's "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in adults 18-49 (with a 0.72 rating vs. a 0.52) and a +106% advantage over Kimmel (0.72 vs. 0.35). At 12:35 a.m. ET, Meyers delivered a +17% margin over CBS's "Late Late Show" (0.35 vs. 0.30).
