With President Barack Obama as a guest, last night’s Tonight Show With Jay Leno posted a 4.1 meter-market household rating, the highest for a Tuesday telecast since March 2, 2010, night two of Leno’s first week back as host of NBC’s late-night show. Compared with The Tonight Show‘s season-to-date average, last night’s telecast was up 52%. And that was with no help from NBC’s primetime lineup as the network averaged 2.9 million viewers in the 10 PM hour with a Prime Suspect rerun vs. 11.3 million for CBS and 9.6 million for ABC. CBS’ Late Show With David Letterman averaged a 2.7/7 household rating last night; ABC’s Nightline posted a 3.6/9, followed by Jimmy Kimmel Live! with a 1.8/6.

I’d be curious to see the numbers compared to his last appearance on Leno. And his appearance on Letterman for that matter…
Yeah. Technically, Ashton Kutcher’s appearance on the season premiere of 2 1/2 Men gave the show a colossal ratings boost as well.
who would watch those two imbeciles stroke each other?
When he’s not ruining everyone’s life on the west side, he’s busy jamming up Burbank. If he had to pay for all the extra traffic cops needed for his fundraisers in Hancock Park instead of making us pay for it, maybe he’d stick with the airport marriot and not hash up traffic in the city.
Talk about a vapid, soft-ball, nothing ‘interview’. I’m surprised they didn’t end up french kissing. If Leno had only treated Obama with half the criticism he displayed towards Michelle Bachmann . . . well, that would never happen.
sad state of affairs. barack “i-voted-for-him-and-now-regret-it” obama should work on being the POTUS instead of doing these cheesy and pathetic money raisers and staged media stunts. lassiter’s, roscoe’s and leno? make me fucking puke. please stay out of town and practice being the POTUS. it’s what we pay you for, civil servant.
Tell me about it. Since when do Presidents go on talk shows and hang out with Hollywood stars at their homes. Take a look around, people are unemployed, gathering in the streets and the country is shackled by debt.
How in the FUCK is Jimmy Kimmel still on the air?
They talk abot leno but people tuned in because he was making good jokes after the corespondance dinner.
This proves they need to give someone else a chance in kimmel spot
