NBC's TONIGHT SHOW Wins Week in 18-49 & Every Other Key Demo

THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING Jimmy Fallon has scored a dominant victory for the late-night ratings week of Jan. 15-19, winning versus the timeslot's ABC and CBS competition in the key demographic of adult 18-49 and all other key demos, according to "live plus same day" figures from Nielsen Media Research.

Note that Monday's NBC shows and "The Late Late Show" are excluded from these weekly averages due to the Martin LUTHER King holiday, and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" was among the late-night shows to air a Friday encore.

"Tonight" won the 11:35 p.m. hour for the week over "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" by a +32% margin in adults 18-49 (with a 0.66 rating vs. a 0.50) and versus "Kimmel" by +43% (0.66 vs. 0.46).

At 12:35 a.m. ET, "Late Night with Seth Meyers" outrated CBS' "The Late Late Show with James Corden" by a +36% margin in adults 18-49 (with a 0.38 rating vs. a 0.28).

"Late Night" ranked #1 versus "Late Late Show" in every key measure - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers
