Late Night Renaissance - How This Winter's Changes Are Paying Off For Fallon, Kimmel, Leno And The Networks

Seven months after Fallon’s Tonight takeover, everything looks great in Late Night Land. Not only has the former late night host managed to revive ratings, he’s managed to keep them high – so high, if fact, that this past week of re-runs topped Tonight originals’ numbers from the same period last year, according to The Hollywood Reporter. THR reports that at this point, Fallon holds 34% of the most coveted demographic – viewers aged between 18 and 49.

Letterman is still struggling, but his viewer numbers have lifted slightly since this time last year. At the same time, online content for all three shows is thriving. In the last month alone, Fallon has clocked two of his most-watched YouTube clips of all time — spanning even his Late Night tenure — with 22.4 million views for "Lip Sync Battle With Emma Stone" and 20.4 million for "Will Ferrell and Chad Smith Drum-Off." Kimmel's latest "Mean Tweets" clip from May is also pacing ahead of the rest of the series, now at 15.6 million views.
