Probably the same thing as Branford Marsalis...playing gigs at night and selling up to 100 albums per year. Just one click on the Kevin Eubanks website should give you an idea. He and the band certainly aren't making "Tonight Show" money, but it's what he wanted to do.
I too liked Kev on the sidelines...100X better than Rickie and Branford combined.

Oh, here is the YouTube link to last night's performance by Jackie Evancho.

That's why I pointed it out...perhaps he's out standing in the unemployment line.
To be honest, I hope Kev decides he wants to return to the show in a couple years. We shall see...
Based on the ratings over the past nearly 20-years, it will pretty much be you and a few hundred others watching. Since it's a proven fact that angry people die sooner, it would appear that Angry Senile Dave and his hostile cronies are dying off in droves. Dave used to be funny back in the day...but that day ended back in '83.
Well, I wonder how Leno and Letterman will fare with Conan returning to late-night in the 11pm timeslot?
Apparently not too many folks are interested in the turn of Conan since I don't see it being discussed...
Exactly... elsewhere there are "Jay" threads that are full of nothing but haters... one poster gives the ratings weekly which are down for all late night, I'm thinking NBC killed network late night with their shuffling around...
Well the DVR killed off my late night show viewing. Now, I start watching prime time usually sometime after 9pm (Central), so I am sure to be able to skip commercials. So, buy the time I have watched the prime time shows the Tonight Show is done.
It depends on what kind of show Conan does. And at first he might even beat both of them in the ratings but I predict he will soon fade like he did on NBC. Some people are good comedy writers and terrible host . Conan, Chevy Chase etc.
I don't recall Chevy Chase being known for his writing. He did write some on SNL but he is much beetter known for his work on screen. But his talk show was absolutely horrible.

Chevy Chase is best known for his horrible work period...he was the next to least funniest character on SNL and bombed numerous times on screen. The only performances he gave that were even remotely funny were Caddy Shack and Fetch IMO.
In fairness Chase was actually seen as the breakout character during his tenure on SNL and while his film work from about '81 on was pretty abysmal films like Foul play and CaddyShack did quite well at the box office and many of his post Foul Play movies were big money makers at the video store.
Kevin is quite the accomplished guitar picker...I never understood why Kevin and the Band weren't featured on the Tonight Show...much like Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band who would perform at least a couple timers per month.
