Last week, The Late Show overtook The Tonight Show in an average of the adults 18-49 demo by a tenth of a point, with Stephen Colbert pulling in a 0.5 rating to Jimmy Fallon’s 0.4.
When that demo is represented via a rolling Live+ 3 day and 7-day season average, Colbert pulled 703,000 viewers to Fallon’s 678,000.
Regardless of whether it was a large or small jump, it was still a historic moment for the CBS program as it overtook season-to-date viewers in the key advertising demo.
