# Comics Unleashed Overtakes Kimmel + Fallon Among Adults 18–49

Comics Unleashed topped Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon among adults 18–49 in the 11:35 p.m. slot on Monday, Aug. 24.

However, this is just a snapshot and not the full picture of how these shows are performing.

1. Kimmel and Fallon still outperformed Comics Unleashed among total viewers that night.
2. Fallon was airing a repeat on Aug. 24, while Kimmel was being guest-hosted by Jelly Roll.
3. Nielsen figures also don’t capture the broader digital audience on platforms like YouTube, which can complicate comparisons between late-night shows.

Will be interesting to see if this trend holds, could just be a one-off.

Thanks to LateNighter, which licenses and publishes the Nielsen ratings data that make comparisons like this possible. Their full breakdown is here:
