Late Night TV Ratings: Who's Top & Who's Lagging Behind? [View all]

Late Night TV Ratings: Who's Top & Who's Lagging Behind?
Martin Holmes, March 6, 2025

The competitive world of late-night has seen gains and losses in recent weeks, with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert leading the pack in audience share, and Fox News’ Gutfeld! not far behind.

According to LateNighter.com, citing Nielsen figures, the week of February 23 saw The Late Show continue to draw the largest audience in its timeslot, with a 7.56 audience share. Even though it was down -15% among total viewers and -21% in the demo, the show still stood atop in its timeslot with 2,030 million viewers and 214,000 in the key 18-49 demo.

So when Tylenol man accused Steven Colbert's THE LATE SHOW of having terrible RATINGS and
needed to be taken off the air, he was lying again and I don't remember MSM pointing to the lie.
