Dave wins most viewers with Palin apology, but Conan hangs on to 18-49 lead

[WI_DEM]

(and that is the numer the networks look at the most--but still Dave is making progress):


Letterman did have more viewers than Conan (3.9 million vs. 3.2 million) on Monday night, but it still wasn’t enough to dethrone Conan and The Tonight Show among 18-49 year olds where Conan’s 1.3 adults 18-49 rating was still 30% higher than Dave’s 1.0 rating. But, it’s still progress. According to James Hibberd, that 30% gap is the smallest it has been since Conan took over hosting duties from Jay Leno.

1. Makes Sense

but still the 25-54 crowd is the group advertisers love the most.

2. Huh.

Well, it means that the young and most-wanted audience has the good sense not to give a fuck.
