    Trump Sends Fallon to Highest Friday Rating in 18 Months

    Saturday, September 12, 2015 03:00 PM

    By: Cynthia Littleton

    Jimmy Fallon got a Donald Trump bump as the GOP presidential hopeful's appearance took "The Tonight Show" to its highest ratings for a Friday broadcast in 18 months.

    NBC's "Tonight Show" brought in 4.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen's preliminary estimates. In adults 18-49, Fallon averaged a 1.2 rating. That was Fallon's highest mark for a Friday broadcast since Feb. 28, 2014, shortly after his debut at the "Tonight Show" desk.

    The week-one duel between Fallon and CBS' new "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert ended with "Late Show" drawing 3.5 million viewers and 0.8 in adults 18-49. It was notable that "Late Show" held steady Friday in its 18-49 average of the past three nights despite the lure of Trump on the competition. And Friday's "Late Show" episode was up 47% from CBS' showing the same night last year.

    Colbert's guests on Friday included Amy Schumer and Stephen King. Trump is set to visit "The Late Show" on Sept. 22.

    CBS noted that "Late Show's" Sept. 8 premiere episode has set a new record for total streams via CBS.com and CBS apps.

    The pattern after four days indicates that NBC's "Tonight Show" will continue maintain a comfortable lead over CBS and ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," barring big stunts or guest booking coups.

    For CBS, the win with Colbert moving into "The Late Show" host slot is double-digit gains compared to the network's performance in the time slot this time last year. And Colbert is clearly drawing a younger audience than David Letterman did in his final season.

    CBS noted that "Late Show's" Sept. 8 premiere episode has set a new record for total streams via CBS.com and CBS apps.

    With the high level of scrutiny on the Fallon-Colbert competition, the biz will be eagerly awaiting the first time-shifted ratings for the new era of late-night. But that will require some patience. Nielsen's live-plus-3 ratings for this past week are not expected to be released for another two weeks because the L3 turnaround time for the late-night day part is much longer than it is for primetime ratings.

    I watched the show last night and it was truly enjoyable, very funny, and Trump was a really good sport. It came off really well. He really does love entertaining people. I think that will be a great characteristic in the White House. Making people happy and laugh. That's really what Presidents should want to do for the people of our country as part of the duties.

    Think about a Trump Presidency, no one will work harder or faster to fix this mess we're in than Donald Trump. He'll be blasting and lambasting each and every person standing in his way of fixing this. You get in his way on fixing trade and immigration, you'll be reduced to burning embers and tossed out with the cat litter. And, rightly so!

    He needs to support the FairTax, though. Hopefully he'll realize that sooner than later. He's mentioned it, but I don't think he's delved in yet, but he did meet with David Perdue the other day who is a sponsor of the FairTax in the Senate, so I'm hoping David will spend some time discussing this wonderful tax proposal that not only helps solve the illegal alien problem, it also helps solve the free trade problem and does so quietly and efficiently without confrontations.
