According to a new exclusive, Max Weinberg is not likely to go to Los Angeles for The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien. The New York Post reports that Weinberg will probably not join the Tonight Show when Conan becomes its host next month. This, after Weinberg took all last week off to practice for Springsteen's Super Bowl halftime show, prompting Conan to comment "Who needs a whole week to practice 'Born In The U.S.A.?" Here's the story, as the Post is reporting it: Weinberg's a New Jersey guy, with a big Jersey estate, and doesn't want to move to the West Coast. Plus, he makes most of his money drumming for the Boss' E Street band, so he doesn't have to. No more Max Weinberg 7? They'll need to change the names on all the drums. Let's hope this gets resolved - it'd be tough for Conan to break in a new musical leader - or would he just promote Jimmy Vivino?
