His move west to L. A., where he'll take over The Tonight Show June 1 in a freshly built studio that's twice the size of his current one, is cause for more jangled nerves. Bandleader Max Weinberg is considering a new contract, and as Bruce Springsteen's drummer he has a conflict with a summer tour. "We'd like him to come;we're trying to work it out,"says executive producer Jeff Ross.

But the rest of the band and many of the show's writers will follow along. O'Brien's wife, Liza, and kids--Neve, 5, and Beckett, 3--already have spent time in a new house in Brentwood, and he predicts the move will "have a pro-found impact" on the show

On-air last week, O'Brien ceremonially bade farewell to a host of recurring characters, including Shoe-verine (a sort of Wolverine with shoes on his hands) and the Masturbating Bear: "11:30 is no place for a compulsively self-pleasuring animal," he decreed. "Say hello to the more acceptable Bear Frantically Trying to Find His Cellphone in His Fanny Pack."
