You might like Stephen C's choice of bandleader. While I am assuming his band his coming with, it's not explicit from the press. It's a combo rather than a band, so like when the Roots moved from Late Night to Tonight, some additional musicians may come into the mix.

There's a question of how long Batiste may want to stay with the show, but I think (based on the appearance on The Report) it may simply be to pursue other opportunities rather than any lack of chemistry with the host.
