Peace, at Last: “The Tonight Show” has put out the welcome mat for Travis Tritt and Trisha Yearwood, the country musicians whose earlier ban was made public by their manager, causing a ruckus that led to the dismissal of the show’s executive producer. Yearwood has been penciled in for Dec. 2 and Tritt for early next year to coincide with the airing of a CBS movie in which he co-stars. “I’d love to have this be the end of it,” Ken Kragen, manager for Yearwood and Tritt, said Tuesday, “so we can all move on and have a good time, which is what I like to do in this business.” The booking ban was resolved Monday at a TV industry luncheon where Kragen was approached by producers Debbie Vickers and Bill Royce, who are now running the show.
