A week of encore telecasts of THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON has virutally equaled original episodes of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" for the ratings week of Oct. 16-20 in the key late-night demographic of adults 18-49, according to "live plus same day" results from Nielsen Media Research.

The week of "Tonight" encores generated a 0.49 rating, to finish the week within 0.01 of the 0.50 averaged by Kimmel's originals. "Tonight" outrated CBS' rebroadcast week of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" for the week by a +20% margin (0.49 vs. 0.41).

The "Tonight" encores matched or beat the "Kimmel" originals for the week in adults 18-34, men 18-34, men 18-49 and men 25-54.

At 12:35 a.m. ET, rebroadcasts of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" finished the week #1 in the timeslot versus CBS' encores of "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in adults 18-49, adults 18-34 (tie) and adults 25-54, and in their head-to-head half-hour from 12:30 to 1 a.m. ET, "Late Night" beat ABC's "Nightline" in those key measures.
