CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” surfaced a late night ratings for a second time this week bringing in a 2.4 overnight rating on both Monday and Tuesday.
This was adequate to give Colbert a lead over his foe of late night Jimmys, NBC’s Fallon and ABC’s Kimmel, who came in second and third on Monday and Tuesday.
Monday Colbert returned after a week off, and on Tuesday he brought behind his aged “Daily Show” boss, Jon Stewart, to take some shots during Trump.
Nielsen takes a commission of households examination in 56 US markets and comes adult with an overnight average, that means that 2.4% of households in these markets tuned into Colbert both nights.
In a advertiser dear demo of adults aged 18 to 49 years old, Colbert tied Fallon on Monday with a 0.6 rating. However, Fallon overtook Colbert in a demo on Tuesday night with a 0.7 rating.
These numbers are intriguing given Fallon has, for a many part, been a ratings aristocrat of late night given Colbert came on a stage in Sep 2015.
