Maybe he's on Team CoCo? Sources have told Extra that Kevin Eubanks, who has been Jay Leno's band leader since 1994, is quitting. Eubanks joined the 'Tonight Show' band in 1992, after releasing several albums. He followed Leno over to his primetime experiment, 'The Jay Leno Show,' but sources say that Eubanks is "ready for a change" and won't be returning to 'The Tonight Show' with Leno.

This news hasn't been confirmed -- in fact, NBC denied it to one of our fellow AOL writers -- so we have no further insight into Eubanks' alleged decision. TV Guide Canada is speculating that the recent Late Night Wars and the resulting instability has something to do with Eubanks leaving, which is understandable. Even though the folks who work for Leno made out better than those who worked for Conan, the constant moving around and uncertainty can't make for a pleasant working environment.

On the other hand, Eubanks is first and foremost a musician, so it's entirely possible that he's simply tired of being known as the guy who laughs at Leno's jokes all the time. Also possible is that Eubanks isn't leaving at all. As of right now, NBC is denying the story, so this could all very well be much ado about nothing. However, networks aren't known for being candid about people leaving, so I wouldn't automatically dismiss this story based on that.

Here's the important question, though: if Eubanks is leaving, who should replace him as 'The Tonight Show' band leader? Hootie and the Blowfish singer Darius Rucker has been rumored, but who do you think would fit the bill?
