Max Weinberg Splits With Conan O’Brien

After months of rumors, it’s finally official: Max Weinberg won’t be going with Conan O’Brien to Conan’s new show on TBS. Guitarist Jimmy Vivino will be leading the house musicians, as he often did when Weinberg took breaks from the show to tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. James Wormworth, Weinberg’s long-time on-air substitute, will be the group’s new full-time drummer. Vivino broke the news in an interview with the St. Louis Riverfront Times. “Max has his big band out there that has been his dream all his life,” Vivino said. “And there’s a kid in Jersey that works with him occasionally.”
