Jimmy Fallon proved Tuesday he wasn't a one-night wonder.


The new 'Tonight Show' host - oops, star - drew 7.4 million viewers for his second night, more than the combined total for his rivals, David Letterman on CBS and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC.

Fallon still had, and will have all this week, the benefit of a lead-in from NBC's popular Olympics coverage.



That also means he starts at midnight instead of the 11:35 slot he will resume next week.


Fallon's opening 'Tonight' show Monday night drew 11.3 million viewers.


Ironically, his expected second-night dropoff came to almost exactly the number of viewers 'Tonight' had averaged this season under Jay Leno.
