For the first time since televisionâs late-night shows returned to the air last week, David Letterman was able to nose out Jay Leno in the ratings. It was just for one show, Monday night, and Mr. Lettermanâs lead was not sizable, but Mr. Leno had won the first three nights. Their competition resumed last Wednesday, when most of the late-night hosts came back after supporting the writersâ strike for two months. Mr. Leno is working without his writing staff, which is still on strike against his âTonight Showâ on NBC, while Mr. Letterman, above, was able to return with writers to his CBS show because of a separate deal his production company made with the Writers Guild of America. Mr. Letterman has also been able to book the normal roster of movie-star guests; on Monday night he had Tom Hanks, while Mr. Leno had the upstart Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. In the overnight ratings, measuring the countryâs 65 largest cities, Mr. Letterman had a 4 rating on Monday to Mr. Lenoâs 3.8. (Each point is worth 787,659 households.) But in their showsâ first half-hour, when Mr. Leno is performing a monologue over the opposition of the writersâ guild, he still beat Mr. Letterman, with a 4.5 rating to a 4.3. CBSâs thin victory margin continued on the 12:35 a.m. shows, where Craig Ferguson enjoyed a rare ratings victory over NBCâs Conan OâBrien, with a 1.9 rating to a 1.8 for Mr. OâBrien.
