Conan O'Brien names bandleader for new TBS show
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – The house band on Conan O'Brien's new TBS show will be called The Basic Cable Band, and will be led by Jimmy Vivino, the network said Tuesday.

The guitarist replaces Max Weinberg, who led the band during O'Brien's NBC stints at "Late Night" and "The Tonight Show." Vivino, also a veteran of both shows, often filled in for Weinberg when the drummer toured with Bruce Springsteen.

1. I wish Conan, Andy, and Jimmy the best...
...but I can't help but feel they're gonna get creamed by the Letterman/Leno big dogs.

2. It's cable
so they will be able to get by with lesser ratings.

But speaking of ratings...

3. I just backed his daughter for five weeks in "Wicked".
She's pretty damned good.
