Preliminary ratings via TVByTheNumbers.com revealed that Jay Leno is starting to bomb in the ratings:

  • “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” (3.5/9 in metered-market households) led the time period over CBS’s “Late Show with David Letterman” (3.2/8) and ABC’s “Nightline (3.1/8) and “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (1.5/5) in Nielsen’s 56 metered markets.

  • "In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” (1.2/5) ranked #1 among the major networks in the time period over “Late Show” (1.1/5), “Nightline” (1.1/4) and “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (0.6/3)."

Wow. Leno's show is tanking faster than NBC had hoped! It looks as if Leno and Letterman are going to be switching the #1 spot over the next few months.
