NEW YORK - March 26, 2015 - "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has prevailed for the late-night ratings week of March 16-20 in all key ratings measures versus "Late Show with David Letterman" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

For the week, Fallon averaged a 0.94 rating in adults 18-49, giving him a +54% margin over the 0.61 for "Kimmel" (which aired a week of telecasts from the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas) and a +92% advantage over the 0.49 for Letterman, which excluded Thursday and Friday results due to basketball overruns.
