Max Weinberg and Conan Split
Written on September 29, 2010 – 5:59 pm | by emilysharrer
Max Weinberg, E Street Band drummer and the head of Conan O’Brien’s house musicians since 1993, is reportedly not joining Conan when he moves to his new show on TBS. Weinberg, who took breaks from “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” to tour following Bruce Springsteen’s reunion with the E Street Band, stayed with Conan through the much too short-lived “Tonight Show” era.
Missed Weinberg on “Late Night?”

This is so disappointing. Max is almost as big a part of the show as Conan is.
Yeah that does suck, but I’m still excited for his new show. Conan is so much funnier than Leno, but I’m still more of a fan of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report as my late night shows.
I agree with Gpelkofski. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are the new Conans of this day and age.I used to watch Leno a lot but since he moved to Primetime and then back, I am not a Leno or Conan fan. It is sad that Max is splitting up w/ Conan but oh well, life goes on.
