Kimmel, Fallon, Gutfeld & More Late Night Ratings: Who’s on Top and Who’s Falling Behind?

The late-night ratings for October are in, bringing good news for ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! but disappointing results for NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

According to LateNighter, citing Nielsen Live+7 ratings data, Kimmel averaged just over 3 million total viewers and 329,000 viewers in the key Adults 18-49 demographic across 14 first-run episodes. While total viewership remained flat and the demo audience dipped 2 percent from September, the numbers were still enough to keep the show at the top of network late-night television.

The Tonight Show, meanwhile, averaged 1.38 million total viewers and 201,000 demo viewers across 12 first-run episodes. This was down 8 percent in total viewers and down 13 percent in the demo compared to the previous month.

Over on CBS, Byron Allen‘s two-hour block posted the biggest gains, perhaps spurred by the return of the fall primetime originals. Comics Unleashed averaged 797,000 total viewers and 100,000 demo viewers in the month of October. This was up 19 percent in total viewers and up 12 percent in the demo compared to September.

Allen’s Funny You Should Ask also saw increases, averaging 549,000 total viewers and 72,000 demo viewers. This was up 17 percent in total viewers and up 5 percent in the demo compared to the month prior.

NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers averaged 1.05 million total viewers and 148,000 demo viewers across 13 first-run episodes in the 12:37 am slot. This was up 1 percent in total viewers and up 6 percent in the demo compared to the month before.

Meanwhile, on cable, Fox News’ Gutfeld! averaged 2.16 million total viewers and 141,000 demo viewers in October. This was down 3 percent in total viewers and down 7 percent in the demo compared to September.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show averaged 1.02 million total viewers and 167,000 demo viewers across 13 first-run episodes. This was up 1 percent in total viewers and up 6 percent in the demo month over month.

Finally, Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen averaged 331,000 total viewers and 100,000 demo viewers across 21 first-run episodes. This was down 9 percent in total viewers and down 7 percent in the key demo compared to the previous month.
