John Mayer has a(nother) TV show

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 19th, 2009

Here‘s an item from the website of Extra (that’s the ghastly product placement orgy produced by Warner Bros.) that says that John Mayer is going to host a variety show on CBS.

Back in June of 2006, we commented on Mayer’s dabbling in standup:

We actually do think that, of all the H-wood standup dabbler types, Mayer could could actually make a go of the standup thing. We stumbled upon his VH-1 show (John Mayer Has A TV Show) a couple times and found it to be wildly funny. Mayer was likeable and seemed to possess a genuine sense of humor and the tools with which to effectively wield it. A master of self-effacement, seeming to be at times embarassed/amused by the degree to which his fans adored him.

FOS Sharilyn Johnson has a lengthier and more timely post on the subject at her blog, From The Back Of The Room.

The long-running rumors that John Mayer would host a new variety show were confirmed by CBS last week, and immediately, venom spewed throughout the internet. He’s a sell-out, he’s a douchebag, he needs to stick to music, and so on. In short: “that’s enough, John Mayer.”

I disagree. Walk with me…
