In a holiday week primarily programmed with encores "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers" have topped their ABC and CBS time-period competition in every key ratings measure. Note that Monday telecasts were excluded from the week's averages due to the Memorial Day holiday.

"Tonight," "Late Night" and "Last Call with Carson Daly" all delivered their highest adult 18-49 ratings for a week of encores since New Year's Week, the week of Dec. 29, 2014-Jan. 2, 2015. "Tonight's" 3.1 million viewers overall was also a high for a week of rebroadcasts since New Year's Week.

For the week of May 25-29, Fallon encores outrated ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" rebroadcasts and "CBS Summer Showcase" encores of "The Mentalist" in all key categories - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers.

At 12:35 a.m. ET, rebroadcasts of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" beat CBS's encores of "Late Night with James Corden" in every key measure. In his head-to-head half-hour versus ABC's firstrun "Nightline" from 12:30-1 a.m., Meyers also prevailed in all key categories.
