As far as &#8220;Fallon&#8221; goes, the performance is second only to that achieved by the February 2014 series premiere (3.8 rating, 11.33 million viewers).<\/p>\n<p>Dating back to the 1987 introduction of Nielsen People Meters, Sunday&#8217;s special &#8220;Tonight Show&#8221; ranks as the most-watched post-Super Bowl talk show broadcast.  Its adults 18-49 rating is the second best of all-time; only the January 1998 &#8220;Tonight Show&#8221; (4.2) fared better.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday&#8217;s &#8220;Tonight&#8221; featured guests Kevin Hart, Will Ferrell, Drew Barrymore, Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell, LeGarrette Blount and Ariana Grande.
