8G Band keyboardist and associate musical director Eli Janney said 'no one was happy' that they were being cut from the 'Late Night With Seth Meyers.'
Janet Weiss of Sleater Kinney with Fred Armisen, Seth Jabour, Marnie Stern, and Eli Janney of the 8G Band in 2016, 8G Band keyboardist and associate musical director Eli Janney revealed that NBC had cut the live band from a “revamped” Season 12.
The 8G Band became a permanent part of the show after the Roots left the show with Jimmy Fallon in 2014. At the time, it was, and comprised of Janney, guitarist Seth Jabour, bassist Syd Butler, and drummer Kimberly Thompson. Armisen rarely appeared on the show, but Butler, Janney, and Jabour would perform nearly every night.
“I’m definitely going to miss it, but I don’t have any animosity towards the show,” he added. “Those guys have been taking care of us over the years in such an outrageous way. During the pandemic, we figured out a way to do it from home, and during the strike, they really took care of us.”
