TONIGHT SHOW Wins The September 10-14 Week In Adults 18-34

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has won the late-night ratings race for the week of Sept. 10-14 in the key adult 18-49 demographic, as well as adults 18-34, adults 25-54 and all key adult-female demos, according to "live plus same day" figures from Nielsen Media Research.

For the week, "Tonight" averaged a 0.46 rating in adults 18-49 versus a 0.45 for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and a 0.33 for "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Note that "Tonight" and "Kimmel" aired Friday encores and "Tonight's" was excluded from weekly averages.

For their head-to-head half-hour, "Late Night" also beat ABC's "Nightline" in all key measures.
