Max Weinberg Seven

The Max Weinberg Seven is the musical band for the Late Night with Conan O'Brien television program on NBC. The band is led by drummer Max Weinberg and also features Jimmy Vivino on guitar, Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg on trombone, Scott Healy playing keyboard, Mike Merrit on bass guitar, Mark Pender playing trumpet, and Jimmy's younger brother Jerry Vivino playing a variety of woodwind instruments. The band also occasionally features James Wormworth filling in for Weinberg on the drums.

Members of the band often participate in skits on the show, particularly fedoraed La Bamba—who rarely speaks on the show and is often the punchline of O'Brien's jokes—and bald, bespectacled Mark Pender, who will often sing a tribute to one of the show's guests only to invariably launch into hysterical shrieking as he climbs the scaffolding of the theater's seating area.
