Return to performing

Weinberg went into the music business, joining a distribution company as a business partner. He soon realized that business life was unfulfilling, and that, for personal reasons, he needed to once again be in the music performance sector. He auditioned to be the principal drummer on the Broadway show The Who's Tommy, but was selected as the second alternate substitute percussionist.

Since the inception of Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 1993, he has been the leader of that show's band, The Max Weinberg 7. In the show, Weinberg's mellow persona is often a counter balance to Conan's sometimes excited and sarcastic nature. However, in many comedy bits, Weinberg is presented as a twisted character with various sexual fetishes and homicidal tendencies. In one exchange between Max and Conan, Max jokingly stated that he had once killed a roadie for taking a can of Mountain Dew from Weinberg's personal refrigerator.

When Conan O'Brien was host of Saturday Night Live on March 10, 2001, his monologue featured a visit from the SNL studio to the studio for Late Night With Conan O'Brien, where Conan discovers Weinberg engaged in sexual intercourse with a woman on his desk (played by Max's real-life wife, Becky). In the past several years, especially since the departure of Late Night co-host Andy Richter, Max's role in the show began to decrease; however, lately, it seems his appearances have increased substantially, especially during the monologue. He is also featured in several sketches, many of which portray him as a pervert. Once Springsteen reunited the E Street Band in 1999, Weinberg began taking leaves of absence from the show in order to go out on tour.
