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. Versus the prior week, Fallon was up +4% in adult 18-49 rating (with a 0.95 versus a 0.91 for July 27-31) and versus two weeks earlier, Fallon was up +6% (0.95 vs. 0.90 for July 20-24). It was the top-rated week for "Tonight" since July 13-17 (1.00).

Fallon and "Late Night with Seth Meyers" won the week versus their ABC and CBS time-period competition in every key measure - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers. Note that "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "CBS Summer Showcase" were in rebroadcast last week and "Late Night" and "Late Late Show with James Corden" aired encores on Friday.
