“The Late Show” Scores Its 16th Consecutive Weekly Win over “The Tonight Show,” Sweeping Every Night in Viewers for the First Time
With three nights remaining in the season, THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT has overtaken “The Tonight Show” as the most watched late night program and will win the traditional broadcast season in viewers, according to Nielsen most current ratings through May 19.
THE LATE SHOW currently leads “The Tonight Show” by +22,000 viewers (3.195m vs. 3.173m). This marks CBS’ first late night win since 1994-1995 (excluding the atypical 2009-2010 season when NBC replaced Conan O’Brien with Jay Leno midway through the season).
THE LATE SHOW was the only late night program to post year-to-year growth, up +11% (3.20m from 2.89m).
For the most recent week according to live plus same day ratings, THE LATE SHOW topped “The Tonight Show” by +350,000 viewers (3.02m vs. 2.67m, +13%) for the 16th consecutive week, winning every night in viewers for the first time with all originals since the streak began. Compared to the same week a year ago, THE LATE SHOW was up +31% in viewers, +33% in adults 25-54 and +25% in adults 18-49.

During the ‘After Show‘, host and comedian Stephen Colbert talks about a Donald Trump presidency and says what role he thinks Mike Pence will play as Vice President.
Stephen Colbert took to the Carnegie Hall stage on Wednesday morning to open CBS’ annual Upfront presentation. Last year the late night host barely got mention, largely being overshadowed by ‘Late Late Show’ host James Corden, but this year saw the return of Colbert as one of the network’s most prized stars.
The network’s 90-minute presentation to advertisers saw Colbert belt out a show tune about CBS’ most-watched status, before delivering a monologue that riffed on the most significant factor in the ‘Late Show’s’ incredible ratings turnaround: President Donald Trump and his administration.
Colbert was followed on stage by CBS Chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves, who, rather than focus too much on the network’s performance, praised the late night hosts 15-week winning streak in total viewers – the ‘Late Show’ still trails the ‘Tonight Show’ in the key 18-24 demographic. “Stephen Colbert and ‘The Late Show’ are killing it. If you think I love Stephen more now because he’s No. 1, you’re right. Who would have thought that Stephen Colbert would be No. 1 and Bill O’Reilly would be doing a podcast in his underwear,” quipped Moonves.

“He’s so sexy. And he taught me the importance of being silly.” “Being silly is so important. Silly is the opposite of grief. It’s throwing yourself into a moment without care. You can’t always maintain your status as a dignified person– it gives you blinders. When you always expect the world to fulfill your expectations, it wears you down. It closes you off.” “So sexy.” – Evelyn McGee-Colbert
