What does iconic “Tonight Show” bandleader Kevin Eubanks think of the Roots’ controversial entrance song for Michele Bachmann on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”?
Eubanks, now on the road touring with his band, tells The Post he found Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s choice “very funny.” As she walked on the show, he and the Roots played “Lyin’ Ass B - - - h” by Fishbone — for which NBC has since “severely reprimanded” the frontman. On second thought, Eubanks says, it was “perhaps a bit too in your face.”

I wonder what Kevin would have thought if they had played “Ain’t Gonna Bump No More With No Big Fat Woman” for Michelle Obama?
These people are a classless as the Clintons.
My better half and I, while we WILL NOT watch NBC for any news or information, do watch Leno’s monologue before turning off the tube for the night. Listening to Eubanks and his accomplices night after night, I have begun to wonder if they can play anything besides snatches and little riffs of one song: “STAR EYES”!
Even entering and returning from station breaks, they will start off with a riff of something else unrecognizable, and then almost invariably devolve back into some portion of that same tune. Not exactly Johnny One-Note.......but pretty much Johnny One-Tune! Makes me wonder how Eubanks got the gig. FWIW.
Kevin Eubanks hasn’t been on the Tonight Show in a year and a half. Is this an old article?
Would they play “Dixie” while Obama walked out? I’d laugh.
Why is Eubanks “iconic”? I remember him wearing an Obama cap on the show.
None of these people could tell you one thing Michelle Bauchmann has ever said.
That’s a great gotcha question.
Back when the Palin hate was running hot and heavy I was in a conversation with a woman and I mentioned that I had lived in AK.
Her eyes immediately gleamed with what I imagine someone looks like when they’re expecting really juicy gossip. You could see the hate on her face.
So I asked her what was the one thing that Palin had said that she most disagreed with.
She couldn’t name anything. Sheep, one and all.

I seriously doubt any of them have ever read anything since they were in high school. And they probably didn’t read more than they absolutely had to. It’s fair to say Bachman could probably crush all of them together in a game of who knows what.
I got an email the outer day that went:
Why won't Obama make any appearances in the South?
Because when he gets up on stage, plantation owners start bidding on him.
Doc Severinsen was “iconic”. Eubanks... Not so much. Check back in thirty years.
Kevin Eubanks—He be what he be.
“Black Betty “would be better!
Kevin should strike up “Jive Talkin’” next time Obummer is on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
Reading is passe. Time and Newsweek are as thin as Weekly Reader these days.
They get all of their worldview from The Onion, The Daily Show, SNL quotes, Anderson Pooper, and Bill Maher.
How long would the legs on this story be if the band played the theme from “Star Wars” whenever Moochie Obama hits the stage.
