On a day of rapid transitions and abrupt departures in the television industry, could the late-night landscape at least be spared? Apparently not: Max Weinberg, the drummer and longtime band leader for Conan O’Brien, will not be following the host to his new show at TBS, according to a report in The Riverfront Times of St. Louis.

In an interview with The Riverfront Times, Jimmy Vivino, a guitarist and keyboardist who performed in Mr. O’Brien’s house bands on “Late Night” and his brief “Tonight Show” run, said that he will take over the band leader’s chair when Mr. O’Brien’s TBS show, “Conan,” begins on Nov. 8.

“Now, we’re staying in L.A. and I’m committed to that now,” Mr. Vivino told The Riverfront Times. “It feels different than when we went out and tried to continue the New York show, because now we’re disassociated from one network and starting up with a new one. It’s going to be great.”

Of Mr. Weinberg, Mr. Vivino said, “Max has his big band out there that has been his dream all his life, kind of a Buddy Rich band. And there’s a kid in Jersey that works with him occasionally. A singer-songwriter! Some guy that’s got some hope over there!”

(Mr. Vivino was no doubt referring to Mr. Weinberg’s other gig as a member of Bruce Springsteen‘s E Street Band, with which he has performed since the 1970s.)

Mr. Weinberg ledthe Max Weinberg 7 on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” from 1993 to 2009, taking occasional breaks to perform with Mr. Springsteen. There was some question as to whether he would follow Mr. O’Brien to Los Angeles for “The Tonight Show,” which Mr. Weinberg did for the eight months it lasted on the air.

A representative for Mr. O’Brien’s production company declined to comment on The Riverfront Times report.
