Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart has overtaken David Letterman and Jay Leno as the king of late-night U.S. television, at least for a month, the cable network said.
“The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” in October averaged 1.3 million viewers ages 18 to 49, a group advertisers target, topping NBC’s “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” and CBS’s “Late Show With David Letterman,” the Viacom Inc.-owned cable channel said today in an e-mailed statement.
