Extra Website: Kevin Eubanks Won’t Lead TONIGHT Band??

I am – Hercules!!

Is longtime “Tonight Show” bandleader Kevin Eubanks to join former “Tonight Show” announcer Stuttering John Melendez on the Leno scrapheap?

The website for Warner Bros.' “Extra” entertainment news show says it has a source that confirms Eubanks will be replaced when NBC’s “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” returns to 11:35 p.m. on March 1. Apparently someone named Lisa Stanley reported the same thing on Los Angeles radio station KRTH-FM.

Eubanks, famous for cackling at the lamest of Leno monologues, was also bandleader for “The Jay Leno Show.”

NBC denies the report, but Extra’s site still has the story, which can be found here.
