NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has scored a five-week high in adults 18-49 and equaled its best 18-49 rating in the past eight weeks with dominant results for the late-night ratings week of June 1-5. In total viewers, it was the most-watched week of "The Tonight Show" in eight weeks.

NBC also got five-week highs in total viewers last week from "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "Last Call with Carson Daly."

Fallon's 1.00 rating in adults 18-49 for the week was his high since the week of April 27-May 1 (1.00) and equaled his high since April 6-10 (1.06). "Tonight's" 3.538 million viewers overall was a high since April 6-10 (3.915 million).

For the week, Fallon and Meyers topped their head-to-head competition on ABC and CBS in every key measure - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers. Note that ABC programming was delayed on Thursday by a high-rated NBA FINALS telecast and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" was in rebroadcast on Wednesday and Friday.
