"So would he like to see another African-American musician take his place? Kevin's response was......
"I want to see a really great band leader replace me. But I wouldn't be mad," he said, with a laugh."
Good for him. I always did like him, now I like him even better :-) He wants the BEST, no matter WHO it is, no matter what color. Good luck, Kevin, you've been terrific, you'll be missed by those who stay up late enough to watch, and I wish you all the best.

I always thought he seemed like a classy guy.
18 years? I didn't realize Leno has been on that long.
I can't believe it's been eighteen years, either. I always thought Kevin Eubanks was a saint for laughing at Leno's lame jokes.
;-)
Kevin added a lot to the show. Too bad he's leaving.
Seems like a pleasant enough fellow. I never watch those late night talk shows -- or haven't since Steve Allen, Jack Paar and the early days of Johnny Carson -- so I have no idea whether I'd like his music or not. I'm sure he was highly competent, or he wouldn't have been able to get and hold a job like that.
Does anyone know why he DID leave?
