Over at ABC‘s Jimmy Kimmel Live! this morning they’re likely celebrating with two words: “Scandal!” & “Victory!” For the first time since Jimmy Fallon took over The Tonight Show this year, the other Jimmy was the King of Late Night thanks to his Scandal Season 3 finale-themed show — though NBC’s and CBS’ late-night shows were repeats. In metered-market household results, Kimmel drew a season-high 3.4/8 rating. That beat The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s 2.1/5 and Late Show With David Letterman‘s repeat, which drew a 2.1/5. Among adults 18-49 in the 25 LPM market ratings, Kimmel had a 1.4/6 to Fallon’s 0.8/4 and Letterman’s 0.4/2. Last night’s Tonight Show replayed its February 20 show with First Lady Michelle Obama and Will Ferrell as guests. Other than Thursday’s show, JKL has been in repeats all this week. Last night’s result actually is the best JKL has done since the show’s move to 11:35 PM in January 2013.

Last night’s “Behind The Scandalabra” broadcast, featuring an interview from the Scandal set with Shonda Rhimes, creator of the politically themed soap, did 36% better than Kimmel did last week. On April 10, the ABC host pulled in a 2.5/6 rating in metered-market household results. Fallon’s April 10 show got a 2.9/7 result in the 56 metered markets. Last week’s Late Show was an encore delayed by coverage of The Masters golf tournament and drew a 1.6/4.

Two weeks ago, the two Jimmys were tied for the No. #2 late-night spot with a 2.4/6 each in metered markets. Letterman won the night April 3 for the first time in a long time as the CBS host announced his retirement. Otherwise, Thursdays have been many of Kimmel’s best nights of late. The host has featured an actor from Scandal on the shown — starting with star Kerry Washington — every week since the soap’s midseason premiere February 27. Besides an extended interview with Rhimes, last night’s JKL featured a Scandal blooper reel for hard-core fans.
