CBS loves doing a timewarp in their programming, with canned-laughter sitcoms and eighty different variations of CSI: Rhode Island. But hey, it keeps the ratings up so they must be doing something right. But come on, a John Mayer variety show? That's a hilariously-coiffed trainwreck waiting to happen.
Hints Broadcasting & Cable:
Mayer has hosted his own show before. The short lived John Mayer Has a TV Show aired one episode on VH1 in 2004. Variety shows are suddenly in vogue on the broadcast networks, though not always with the success they would probably like. NBC aired a live variety show during the holidays hosted by comedian Rosie O’Donnell. It did poorly in the ratings and future installments were nixed. Fox is preparing to launch a variety show hosted by the musically inclined Osbourne family later this year.
Okay, so let me get this straight:
1. John Mayer already had a variety show, and it was terrible.
2. NBC's most recent attempt at a variety show with Rosie was an epic fail.
3. The only people still taking the bait for barrel-scraper concept are the Osbournes, who will do anything for the shot of reality-TV relevance they had back in 2004?
Come on Mayer, you're dating Jennifer Aniston. We know you think you're charming and charismatic,

Ok, ashamed to admit it, but I remember seeing that show, and I thought it was pretty funny. So, I had to find it on You Tube

Sure, it's possible he did it because he's a little full of himself, but putting on a bear suit and telling people "tailgating" for a John Mayer concert that John Mayer sucks, is pretty funny. I'm a sucker for self-depreciating humor.
I am not ashamed to admit that I saw the show and loved it. I thought it was hilarious. It didn't do well because people didn't really know who was then. Beside's his new show, from what I've been hearing, will be nothing like his old one, as this one is not all about him. It's about all music, he's just the host. I am personally looking forward to it, as I think it is a good idea. Also, what does the fact that he's dating Jenn have anything to do with is? And how do you know he thinks he's charming and charismatic? Did he tell you this personally? Or have you been reading to many gossip site's that twist the truth to make eveyone seem like the bad guy? Just wondering. Please note that your rude sarcasm is not appreciated.
Boy there's just no pleasing some people! It's called "snark", people, and it's the Internet's bread and butter.
Looks like john thought it would be funny to do a Borat joke, cuz his girlfriend told him he has a big package.
I've never had a girlfriend tell me I'm hung like a hamster, but I happen to have eyes that haven't gone bad, and I can see the disappointment in my girlfriends' eyes, which makes me know, quite definately that I am in fact, hung like a hamster.
Ain't gonna see me in a speed-0 even when I was in good shape, I need max fabric to let the little hamster hide behind woodchips and poorly groomed pubes.
LOL He couldnt be uglier!
