Kevin Eubanks Leaving The Tonight Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, News,
UPDATE: Eubanks says he won’t be leaving the show altogether, but admits he’ll be on the program “less.”
Will Jay Leno‘s old audience return to the revamped Tonight Show? That remains to be seen. But there will be at least one person who won’t be hanging around for the next go-around.
After 18 years working with Leno, bandleader Kevin Eubanks has decided to break away from NBC. Although his exact departure date is unknown, Kevin will eventually leave to pursue other projects. An insider claims the jazz guitarist made the decision because he simply “wanted a change.”
No announcement has yet been made about Eubank’s possible replacement.
Meanwhile, John Melendez will also be ending his announcer duties on the program. Melendez, though, is expected to stay on with The Tonight Show as a writer.
