NBC's TONIGHT SHOW Hits Four-Week HIgh

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has generated a four-week high in adults 18-49 and a six-week high in total viewers to dominate the late-night ratings week of Nov. 10-14. Fallon won five of five nights of the week versus the time period's ABC and CBS competition in both adults 18-49 and total viewers.

Fallon's 1.03 rating for the week was his highest since earning a 1.06 during the week of Oct. 13-17 and his 3.680 million viewers overall was a "Tonight" high since the show averaged 3.896 million for the week of Sept. 29-Oct. 3.

Fallon beat ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman" for the week in every key ratings category - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers. Fallon's 1.03 rating for the week generated a +69% advantage over Kimmel (0.61) and a +102% margin over Letterman (0.51).

At 12:35 a.m. ET, "Late Night with Seth Meyers" outscored CBS's "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" in every key ratings measure and also topped ABC's "Nightline" in their head-to-head half-hour from 12:30-1 a.m. in all key categories.

At 1:35 a.m. ET, "Last Call with Carson Daly" (0.31 in 18-49 rating) topped CBS's Ferguson (0.30) despite starting an hour later.

Note that Kimmel, Meyers and Carson Daly aired encores on Friday night.

Ratings reflect "live plus same day" data from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise noted. Season-to-date figures are averages of "live plus seven day" figures except for the two most recent weeks, which are "live plus same day."
