JIMMY FALLON GENERATES WEEK-TO-WEEK GROWTH FOR A SECOND STRAIGHT WEEK TO CLAIM THE AUG. 3-7 LATE-NIGHT WIN

Seth Meyers Leads at 12:30 in Every Key Measure

NEW YORK - Aug. 13, 2015 - NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has won the ratings week of Aug. 3-7 while generating a second straight week of adult 18-49 growth.
