Nothing that I've ever explicitly read, it just seems that Weinberg considers playing with the E Street Band to be his real passion and then the stuff with Conan was just a side gig, which is why he didn't follow Conan after the Tonight Show debacle, nor did he participate in that live tour Conan did during the period when he was prohibited from appearing on television.

DC Murderverse posted:Roots at top Fred armisen at bottom end of list Yeah I don't know what else there is to say really. Roots >> La Bomba (just him) (when he's getting dunked on) (or doing a Year 2000 bit) >>>>>>> The other guys I guess > Fred Armisen for the like 5 times he was actually present

If we are going all time than Paul Shaffer is up there. Reggie Watts great. Craig Ferguson's mouth organ. Branford Marsalis for realizing he didn't want to hang around Leno for the rest of his career. Sheila E was the best thing about The Magic Hour. Doc Severinsen looked like my stepdad. I can't remember Arsenio's bandleader. Nor Joan Rivers. Nor Kimmel. Does Kimmel have a band?

Yeah Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra is S-Tier. The Roots are bogged down by being tied to Fallon, tbh

Jon Batiste is also incredible, his Coachella set this year was awesome. Not better than the roots though, can’t be better than the roots

Though I'm not the main audience anyway

Bradford Marsalis is great just for his inability to hide all of his contempt for Jay.

counterfeitsaint posted:What happened with Max? I have not sampled this particular tea, please spill. Andy was on Comedy Bang Bang a while back and sorta got into it, but the gist was that when all the poo poo with Jay went down, Max was basically totally game to stick around and be Jay's band leader, which I think frayed things a little. It's actually a surprisingly insightful interview with Andy, but he more or less launches right into it from the jump and explains how much he's not a fan of Leno, the why of NBC's decisions and just how disastrous Jay's not-Tonight Show was for local affiliates, all that stuff. He doesn't explicitly poo poo talk Max, but you can tell there was definitely some animosity under the surface (and this interview is fairly recent, so I think it's still there). And, yeah, as others have said, he basically would drop everything to go tour with Springsteen again - mostly because of how much playing with The E Street Band meant to his career and everything that followed when he originally took the gig. Rappaport posted:He wised up and left late night to have an actual career, and Colber's new band leader is pretty mediocre IMO. Though I'm not the main audience anyway It was the right move for Jon for sure, but even after a couple of years, he had that prodigy brain that makes him amazing as a musician, but poo poo for banter, which Louis Cato is at least a little better at. I too am not the target audience for the music, and literally can't hum anything they've played other than the original theme song. It's just kinda... there. I miss the random surprise of FF7 music just randomly showing up out of nowhere. SamBishop fucked around with this message at 09:46 on May 4, 2024 |
