A few weeks ago we reported that Kevin Eubanks was leaving The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after 18 years. Now, less than 24 hours after making an official announcement, NBC has hired a replacement.
NBC hired American Idol’s musical director Rickey Minor as the new band leader of The Tonight Show. Conveniently, Eubanks will leave his position as bandleader just as Idol goes on hiatus at the end of May.
