Encores of NBC's TONIGHT and LATE NIGHT Win the Week in All Key Measures

Encore telecasts of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers" have defeated mostly original competition on ABC and CBS for the late-night ratings week of March 7-11, topping their ABC and CBS time-period rivals in every key measure - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers.

For the week of Fallon and Meyers encores, CBS's "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and ABC's "Nightline" each ran five originals, while four out of five telecasts for ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and CBS's "Late Late Show with James Corden" were first-runs.

For the week, Fallon's rebroadcasts beat Kimmel's originals in adult 18-49 rating by a +51% advantage (with a 0.80 rating vs. a 0.53) and Colbert first-runs by a +63% margin (0.80 vs. 0.49).

Meyers' encores delivered a +40% margin in 18-49 over Corden originals (0.42 vs. 0.30) and a +31% advantage over ABC's "Nightline" (0.47 vs. 0.36 in their 12:30-1 a.m. head-to-head half-hour).

Meyers equaled the year-ago week in 18-49 (0.42 vs. 0.42) and increased by +5% in total viewers (1.439 million vs. 1.369 million).

At 1:35 a.m. ET, "Last Call with Carson Daly" grew +17% versus the same week last year in 18-49 (0.28 vs. 0.24) and +14% in total viewers (908,000 vs. 798,000).

Season to date, Fallon and Meyers have outdelivered their ABC and CBS time-period competition for 25 of 25 weeks in both adults 18-49 and total viewers.
