John Mayer MayerVariety200.jpgEven though Rosie O'Donnell and others have tried and failed to bring back the network variety show, CBS is apparently moving forward with its plans for a John Mayer hosted show.

CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said the net is "pretty close to closing our deal" with the singer for the as-yet-untitled show, according to Us Weekly.

While they haven't figured out the format of the show, it's a good bet it will feature a mix of music performances and sketch comedy.
