I'd think that Paul and Doc are 1 and 1a for late night musical talent that
contributed other things to their shows. The Roots are probably a rising
number 2, at least given the amount of original music they were contributing to
Late Night (and possibly Tonight, but I have no idea). But that gap is large,
not least of which is due to time served.
Max Weinberg is arguably more of a wacky sidekick than Paul ever was (Doc
didn't interact on air with Johnny nearly as much). But I don't know how
involved he was in the musical direction/management of the show as he was
effectively inserted into Jimmy Vivino's band.

Having enjoyed that musical clip *tremendously*, I have this thought:
I wonder how history will handle Paul Schaffer. It's easy to think "Dave's
Wacky Sidekick" for 32 years, but my God, when there's something serious
involved in music over the past nearly four decades, Schaffer's likely there.
You see him in this moment, handling things like a traffic cop while a touch of
insanity bounces around him, and it's flawless. It's amazing. I love it.
