NBC's TONIGHT SHOW, LATE NIGHT Win in All Key Measures for Week of 2/1

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers" have scored decisive wins for the late-night ratings week of Feb. 1-5, prevailing in every key measure - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers - versus their ABC and CBS time-period competition in a week that included "Tonight" and "Late Night" rebroadcasts on Monday and Tuesday.

Note that ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and CBS's "Late Late Show with James Corden" aired Friday encores.

Despite the Monday and Tuesday rebroadcasts, Fallon generated a +70% margin for the week over CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in adults 18-49 (with a 0.85 rating vs. a 0.50) and a +55% advantage over Kimmel (0.85 vs. 0.55). At 12:35 a.m. ET, Meyers delivered a +47% margin over CBS's "Late Late Show with James Corden" (0.44 vs. 0.30).

Season to date, Fallon and Meyers have outdelivered their ABC and CBS time-period competition for 20 of 20 weeks in both adults 18-49 and total viewers.
