Tuesday Primetime Results:

NBC wins the night among the Big 4 in every key measure, led by the #1 show of the night in adults 18-49, "This Is Us," and the top two shows of the night in total viewers, "The Voice" and "This Is Us."

"This Is Us" (2.7/9 in 18-49, 10.6 million viewers overall from 9-10 p.m. ET):

· Jumps +13% week to week (2.7 vs. 2.4) to its high since Oct. 11.
