NBC's encores of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers" have dominated their ABC and CBS time-period competition for the ratings week of Aug. 24-28 and generated gains versus both shows' previous rebroadcast weeks.

Versus results for the week of July 6-10, the prior week of "Tonight" and "Late Night" encores, Fallon was up by +8% in adult 18-49 rating (0.77 vs. 0.71) and up +15% in total viewers (3.003 million vs. 2.617 million). Meyers grew by +8% in 18-49 (0.40 vs. 0.37) and +9% in total viewers (1.325 million vs. 1.211 million).

Versus ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," which aired four originals and one rebroadcast last week, the margin of victory for Fallon's encores was +40% in 18-49 rating (with a 0.77 vs. a 0.55), and versus rebroadcasts of "CBS Summer Showcase," Fallon prevailed by +83% (0.77 vs. 0.42).
