IN ADULT 18-34 rating, CARSON DALY TIES KIMMEL AND FERGUSON FOR THE WEEK AND THE SEASON
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - April 16, 2009 - NBC's late-night lineup has won the week of April 6-10 in adults 18-49, total viewers and other key categories, with "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" taking the 11:35 p.m. ET hour by a 32 percent margin over CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman" in 18-49 viewers, while NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" beat CBS's "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" at 12:35 a.m. by 23 percent.
Both "Tonight" and "Late Night" increased their leads among younger adults, with Jay topping Letterman for the week by a 34 percent advantage among adult 18-34 viewers and Jimmy Fallon achieving a 44 percent margin over Ferguson.
It was an atypical week, with most late-night shows in rebroadcast and CBS's Monday, Thursday and Friday telecasts excluded from weekly averages due to delays for sports coverage.
Season-to date, Jay is increasing his leads over Letterman versus last season, establishing a 29 percent margin over Letterman in 18-49 viewers, up from a 23 percent lead at this point last season, and a 33 percent advantage in total viewers, up from last year's 27 percent. Jimmy Fallon leads Ferguson for their six weeks of competition by a 57 percent advantage in 18-49 viewers and 23 percent in total viewers. Once again, both Jay and Jimmy stretch their leads among younger adults, with Jay enjoying a 49 percent margin in 18-34 viewers season to date and Jimmy out-delivering Ferguson so far by 108 percent.
Since his March 2 debut, Jimmy Fallon has won 30 of 30 nights over Ferguson and ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in adults 18-49.
At 1:35 a.m. ET for the week, "Last Call with Carson Daly" finished within a tenth of a rating point of Kimmel in 18-49 and tied both Kimmel and Ferguson in adult 18-34 rating (with a 0.4 each). "Last Call" also ties Kimmel and Ferguson in 18-34 for the season to date (0.4 each).
For the week of April 6-10, Jay's average 1.731 million adults 18-49 topped the 1.315 million of Letterman; in total viewers, Jay's audience of 4.551 million persons beat Letterman's 3.490 million; and in adults 18-34, Jay's 645,000 out-scored Letterman's 482,000. At 12:35 a.m. ET, Fallon's 913,000 adults 18-49 for the week out-delivered Ferguson's 742,000; in total viewers, Jimmy's 1.831 million beat Ferguson's 1.742 million; and in adults 18-34, Jimmy's 399,000 topped Ferguson's 278,000.
