The news keeps getting better and better for NBC's Jay Leno experiment. Not only are Jay's own ratings falling to unimaginable low depths, sinking affiliates' news shows, but now the bottom is falling out on the rest of the line-up.
With Jay as his lead-in, Conan has been struggling badly against Letterman, and now for the first time, the the Jimmy Fallon show has fallen behind longtime also-ran CBS's Craig Ferguson. For the first time since it premiered in 2005, the Late Late Show came in first place last week with an average 1.4 rating and 1.86 million viewers compared to Fallon's 1.0 rating and 1.26 million viewers
Meanwhile, Comcast has signaled that Jeff Zucker's inspired leadership of NBC/Universal will remain in place after they buy the division.
