| The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien is an American late-night talk show on NBC, which premiered on June 1, 2009. It is the replacement for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and part of NBC's long running Tonight Show franchise. The show's host, Conan O'Brien, previously hosted NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien, which followed The Tonight Show for sixteen years. Many members of the Late Night cast and crew made the transition to The Tonight Show: The Max Weinberg 7, the house band from O'Brien's Late Night, serves as house band on O'Brien's new show under the new name, Max Weinberg and The Tonight Show Band, albeit with a new member, percussionist James Wormworth, who previously filled in for Weinberg on drums on Late Night when he left to tour with Bruce Springsteen;[3] Andy Richter, who served as O'Brien's Late Night sidekick from 1993 to 2000, takes Joel Godard's place as the show's announcer and is also involved in comedy pieces; Jeff Ross, who served as O'Brien's Late Night executive producer in New York, has assumed the same role for Tonight.[1] The opening and closing themes from Late Night with Conan O'Brien were also carried over to Tonight in a slightly altered form. | |
