TONIGHT SHOW and LATE NIGHT Encores Win the Week of 1/2-6 vs. Mostly Original Competition

Encore telecasts of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers" have won the week of Jan. 2-6 in key demos over mostly original competition on ABC and CBS in "live plus same day" late-night ratings results from Nielsen Media Research.

For the week, both Fallon and Meyers delivered bigger audiences than their head-to-head ABC and CBS time-period competition in every key demographic - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54.

Note that all Monday telecasts are excluded from weekly averages due to the New Year's holiday. ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and CBS's "The Late Late Show with James Corden" aired encores on Friday.
