And in case you didn't know, Colbert is taking his victory in stride.

According to the Times, Colbert was "losing by more than a million viewers" this time last year, so to celebrate he's going all out -- and yep, that means staff pizza days.

"Throughout the offices of The Late Show, staff members could be heard saying, “Pizza! Pizza!” — celebrating a reward that comes on Tuesdays when they beat The Tonight Showin the ratings," Timeswriter John Koblin noted.

Though Fallon's goofy viral bits used to reign supreme, it seems that ever since Trump rolled into town, people aren't quite in the same mood.
