http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100927/ap_on_en_tv/us_tv_conan_max_weinberg Conan O'Brien's longtime bandleader Max Weinberg isn't following him to TBS.
O'Brien confirmed Monday that Weinberg won't be joining him on "Conan," his new late-night program set to debut in November. Weinberg had been O'Brien's musical sidekick for 17 years, on both "Late Night" and the "Tonight Show."
"Max has been a huge part of my life for the past 17 years and he is an incredible band leader and musician," O'Brien said in a statement. "I hope he can find time to stop by the show, sit in with the band and pretend to find my monologue funny."
Weinberg, who's also the drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, said his time with O'Brien and crew was "a deeply rewarding experience" and that he does "look forward to dropping by."
Guitarist Jimmy Vivino will take over as bandleader, a "Conan" spokesman said. Vivino is a longtime member of the band, which was previously named "The Max Weinberg 7" and later "Max Weinberg and the Tonight Show Band." A new name hasn't yet been announced.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet." Our Friendly Neighborhood Ray-man said: "no, the doctor's right. besides, he has seniority."

You could kind of tell Max was letting go of the show by the time they moved to The Tonight Show. I think he either wants more money, or just needs to move on to other things...

Yeah, people have largely forgotten that Max took the Late Night gig back during the time when Bruce had broken up the E Street Band. Once he got the band back together I was surprised Max stayed with Conan as long as he did.

You act like he was slumming it. I'd think the Conan gig pays more, but he probably gets more overall satisfaction from the East Coast stuff...

No way the Conan gig pays more, I read one time a fill in guitarist for Metallica was getting $10k a show. Springsteen tickets sell for a lot more than theirs usually and Max wasn't a fill in..

Shit, really?? Okay then, I retract my statement. I just assumed corporate studios were handing out some fat checks for primetime spots like that, rather than a band that's not all that big anymore. But, given NBC's past business ethics, I believe you...

I just assumed corporate studios were handing out some fat checks for primetime spots like that, rather than a band that's not all that big anymore... Not that big?- Billboard magazine's fourth-annual Top 40 Money Makers list is topped by ... U2, Madonna and Bruce Springsteen
And: - In December (2009), the 60-year-old was ranked fourth among the top touring acts of the first decade of the 21st century, behind only the Rolling Stones, U2, and Madonna.
On tour, at least, the E Street Band is still one of the biggest acts in the world.

No. But I do know that Springsteen's still a big name in music.

I believe Max might make a heftier payday with Springsteen. But, save the over-40 crowd hitting the auditoriums, Springsteen's not exactly burning up the popularity vote. But, hey, I don't really listen to modern music, anyway, so whatever...

I'm sure the Conan gig was good though. You gotta figure it helped him from digging into his savings which are likely considerable. But I'd say it has less to do with money, he is set for life and maybe didn't like the West Coast life and since he wasn't obligated to a contract decided to decline.

Those interns are working it... Strange, in the context of late night talk, one normally expects to hear that statement about the Letterman show.

Missed opportunity - the show should've opened with the band that closed out the Tonight Show opening the new show with Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town" or something.
