TONIGHT SHOW Encore Beats Competition in Time Slot
By: Caryn Robbins Oct. 24, 2013
Encore telecasts of NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" have generated bigger total-viewer results than their ABC and CBS time-period competition during the week of Oct. 14-18.
In 18-49, "The Tonight Show" tied ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in 18-49 rating for the week, while both "Tonight" and "Late Night" topped CBS's original competition in every key ratings measure. Note that Friday's "Kimmel" was a rebroadcast. Leno's encores topped both CBS's originals of "Late Show with David Letterman" and ABC's "Kimmel" on four of five nights last week in viewers 18-49. Both Leno and Fallon once again generated substantial year-to-year gains for the week and the season to date. Leno is off to his biggest start four weeks into a new TV season in three years in 18-49 viewers and biggest in two years in total viewers. Fallon is at a three-year high in 18-49 and has generated his biggest overall audience four weeks into a new season in the five years he's been hosting "Late Night." Versus the first four weeks of the year-ago season, Leno is up 16% in 18-49 viewers (with 1.098 million vs. 933,000) and up 11% in total viewers (3.560 million vs. 3.216 million).ADULTS 18-49 11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m. ET
