John Mayer's "Your TV is a Wonderland"?

Simon Baker, move over. John Mayer is coming to your network! CBS President of Entertainment Nina Tassler confirmed today at the TCA press tour that the singer, who is as famous for the women in his life as he is for his music, is developing a variety/sketch show pilot that will air on the network sometime this year. Mayer approached CBS with his idea, and Tassler certainly responded. Mayer will write some of the sketches himself, she said. "I loved him." she said after a news conference. "He’s so multi-talented. Great personality. Really smart, loves television and is very funny and has a great sense of humor about himself." If it is successful, the project could turn into a series of specials. To that end, Tassler, asked if Rosie O'Donnell's recent live disaster on NBC scared her, replied, "Not at all. Well, for other reasons."

So Rox has met Mr. Mayer many times -- I even invited him when he was this little pip-squeak to be a presenter at our noms press conference when the Grammys returned to NY's Madison Square Garden in 2002. And he is one of the most sarcastic and hilarious people off-the-cuff. Actually surprised he hasn't done much SNL work ... however, all we need is Kristen Wiig, right? Anywho, should be interesting to see if viewers turn out as enthusiastically as single teenagers and cougars. Break a leg, Johnny!
