Conan O’Brien confirmed yesterday that his longtime bandleader, Max Weinberg, would not join him on his TBS show, “Conan,” this November. “Max has been a huge part of my life for the past 17 years and he is an incredible bandleader and musician. I hope he can find time to stop by the new show, sit in with the band, and pretend to find my monologue funny,” O’Brien said. A rep for O’Brien says it was a mutual decision for Weinberg to leave. Jerry Vivino, a longtime guitarist and keyboard player, will replace Weinberg. Vivino said Weinberg – who has been a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band since the 1970s – will focus on his other gigs.
