TONIGHT SHOW Finishes #1 For The Late Night Ratings Week of 7/2-7/6 in 18-49 And All Other Key Demos

Rebroadcasts of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" have taken the encore late-night ratings week of July 2-6 versus the ABC and CBS timeslot competition in adults 18-49, while also finishing #1 for the week in all other key demographics (including a tie in men 18-34), according to "live plus same day" figures from Nielsen Media Research.

The "Tonight" encores won the 11:35 p.m. ET hour for the week over "Jimmy Kimmel Live" rebroadcasts by a +31% margin in adults 18-49 (with a 0.42 rating vs. a 0.32) and versus "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" encores by +45% (0.42 vs. 0.29).
