Kevin Eubanks is probably best known as the former Tonight Show with Jay Leno bandleader, providing music and laughs for the late night talk show for nearly two decades.

In 2010, Eubanks left the  The Tonight Show following its 18th season but over the last four years has kept busier than ever.

Eubanks has appeared on over 100 albums, including his most recent release, The Messenger, and as of late has set his sights on acting.

The former bandleader is making a cameo in the season premiere episode of USA’s Royal Pains on June 10.

Eubanks stopped by theGrio to talk about life after The Tonight Show and much more.

He also weighed in on the news that The Arsenio Hall Show has been cancelled.
