For the 2018-2019 TV season to date when taking into account the late night numbers from February 25 – March 1, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is averaging 0.54 in the key 18-49 age demographic, while The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon averages 0.53 in the key demo.
Gaining even a slight edge on The Tonight Show is something that was all but inconceivable in years past.
That’s a very slim difference, but CBS still has reason to celebrate.
