- The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has been renewed for a further five years, said to be a longer term commitment than what was originally promised
- NBCUniversal Television and Streaming chairman Susan Rovner confirmed the renewal on Monday, despite increasingly low ratings
- Fallon, 46, reached an all-time low in September last year when a dismal 992,000 total viewers tuned in, the first time he dipped below a million
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has been renewed for a further five years, which is reportedly a longer term commitment than was originally promised to the host by network NBC.
The news comes after Fallon’s show drew its 4th lowest ratings ever in January, when he averaged just 1.063 million total viewers.
Meanwhile, Fallon, 46, reached an all-time low in September last year when a dismal 992,000 total viewers tuned in.
It was the first and only time that Fallon’s viewership had fallen below a million in Nielsen’s final ratings, though it had been delayed due to an NHL Stanley Cup Finals game.
NBCUniversal Television and Streaming chairman Susan Rovner confirmed the renewal during NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation Monday, Variety reports.
