The Basic Cable Band

The Legally Prohibited Band, formerly known as The Max Weinberg 7 during and The Tonight Show Band during, is Conan O'Brien's house band since 1993. The band consisted of seven members from 1993 to 2009, with James Wormworth replacing Max Weinberg as the drummer when Weinberg would go on tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Starting on June 1, 2009, Wormworth joined as a permanent member of the band, usually playing percussion, as well as the fill-in drummer. After the end of The Tonight Show, and during The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour, Weinberg did not play with the band, except for one of Conan's shows in New York, leaving Wormworth as the full-time drummer and Jimmy Vivino as the band leader.
