Thanks for the Laughter...

Leno's late night switcharound has created its second casualty. Kevin Eubanks, Leno's longtime bandleader and the source of all that chortling from stage left, has decided to leave The Tonight Show sometime after its March 1 re-Lenoed debut.

Extra says Eubanks "wanted a change" and is looking to pursue other opportunities beyond playing the guitar equivalent of a rimshot the rest of his life. So let him know if you hear about any jobs for a man uniquely qualified at politely chuckling every few minutes. Maybe talking on the phone to my grandma?
