TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON has finished #1 for the late-night ratings week of July 31-Aug. 4 versus its ABC and CBS time-period competition in every key demographic - adults, men and women 18-34; adults, men and women 18-49; and adults, men and women 25-54 (including a tie in men 18-34) -- according to "live plus same day" results from Nielsen Media Research.

For the week, "Tonight" scored its best weeklong average in adult 18-49 rating (0.60) since June 26-30 (0.63). Fallon generated a +20% margin of victory in adult 18-49 rating versus CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" (0.50 for the week) and a +62% win versus ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (0.37).

At 12:35 a.m. ET last week, "Late Night with Seth Meyers" finished #1 in the timeslot versus CBS' "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in all key categories, and in their head-to-head half-hour from 12:30 to 1 a.m. ET, "Late Night" beat ABC's "Nightline" in every key measure.

Meyers' 0.33 for the week equaled his highest 18-49 rating since June 19-23 (0.35).

At 1:35 a.m. ET, encore telecasts of "Last Call with Carson Daly" averaged a 0.21 rating in adults 18-49, to match that show's high since the week of June 12-16 (0.22).
