Though it’s sometimes hard for me to take him seriously, John Mayer was a surprisingly good substitute host for the Late Late Show, kicking things off by mocking his status as a “substitute teacher” for the show. Tapping into the idea that subs always play a movie, he pretended to put on a VHS (!!) [...]
