THE TONIGHT SHOW Wins Late Night Ratings for Week of 10/8-12  Image

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has won the late-night ratings week of Oct. 8-12 in the key adult 18-49 demographic, as well as total viewers, according to "live plus same day" figures from Nielsen Media Research.

"Tonight" also led the timeslot's broadcast competition in adults, men and women 25-54; men and women 18-49; and adults and men 18-34. Note that "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" was in rebroadcast last week and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" aired a Friday encore.

Last week at 12:35 a.m. ET, encore telecasts of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" outperformed rebroadcasts of "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in all key measures - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers.
