Late Night Talk Show Hosts Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert: Who Is Your Favorite?

It seems to be a personal preference which one of the three talented comedians the public watches. Unfortunately, all three of the late night shows air at the very same time. After the nightly news goes off, the late night talk shows air at 11:35 p.m. with similar formats.

All three of the late-night shows have some things in common. You can see from the charts below how they are similar and how they are different. This might help you make up your mind which one will be your favorite unless you already have one that you prefer watching.

"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is now the most-watched late night television host. At one time it was "The Late Night Starring Jimmy Fallon." Now the two shows have switched places after the latter show decline by 31 percent.

Colbert doesn't mind taking jabs President Donald Trump much more than Fallon. Anti-Trump viewers tend to favor Colbert over Fallon in that particular area.

The 53-year-old comedian doesn't hold back on politics and the Trump administration. Colbert's ratings are up over what it was a year ago before Trump became President of the United States.

That's really good news for Colbert but not so much for Fallon who is more into games and music instead of politics.

Jimmy Fallon isn't getting the ratings his two competitors are getting because he doesn't do many of the anti-Trump jobs. Therefore, "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has moved from the top show to the second one.

It is noticeable that Fallon does not tell political jobs, especially about President Donald Trump.

There is one big thing that Fallon has going for him is that he still has the younger crowd as his viewers. That works well with advertisers who cater to viewers in the 18-to-49 age group.

Fallon's average is way down from what it used to be. In 2015, he had nearly 4 million viewers per episode. By 2015, it had dropped to 3.5 million each night. In 2017, he’s getting just over 2.5 million a show.

Stephen Colbert has taken the No. 1 slot, and Fallon has dropped to the position and is in the middle of the pack. Jimmy Kimmel remains in the third place even though he is picking up some of Fallon's former viewers.

Jimmy Kimmel's ABC show is in third place, but he is moving up a bit in ratings.

The 49-year-old comedian's ratings went up a little after his recent monologues about health care and gun control. However, it hasn't been enough for his show to move up and out of third place.
