The singer, who is currently dating actress Jennifer Aniston, will shoot a pilot for the CBS network, reports say .
According to CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler, the pilot could result in a series of specials or a full series for Mayer.
Mayer’s previous foray into television saw just one episode air. The ‘John Mayer Has a TV Show’ was shown on VH1 in 2004.
As previously reported, Ozzy Osbourne and family will launch their own variety show on Fox this year.
