TONIGHT SHOW Take The Week 1/22-1/28 In 18-49 and All Other Key Demos  Image

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has dominated demographics for the late-night ratings week of Jan. 22-26, topping the timeslot's ABC and CBS competition in adults 18-49 and every other key demo, according to "live plus same day" figures from Nielsen Media Research. Note that Friday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" was an encore.

"Tonight" won the 11:35 p.m. hour for the week over "Kimmel" by a +31% margin in adults 18-49 (with a 0.59 rating vs. a 0.45) and versus "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" by +34% (0.59 vs. 0.44).

At 12:35 a.m. ET, "Late Night with Seth Meyers" outrated CBS' encore week of "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in every key measure - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers --and also beat ABC's "Nightline" in their head-to-head half-hour from 12:30 to 1 a.m. ET in all key categories).
