It is great to see the ratings were greatly in favor of Jimmy Kimmel Live over The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Late Show with David Letterman last night, but is the start of a new trend or just everyone coming out on opening night? Also, with the upcoming advent of Nielsen’s Nielsen Twitter rating, will Kimmel have an even greater edge?

We say, as far as online presence goes, yes (Kimmel has a big online following that he constantly interacts with while Letterman doesn’t even has own YouTube channel), but only the coming months will tell.
