Expect to see more John Mayer on the small screen.

According to an exclusive Variety report, the 43-year-old entertainer is close to landing his very own series for Paramount Plus—ViacomCBS’ streaming platform, formerly known as CBS Access. Sources say the program will be based off the U.K.’s popular talk show Later with Jools Holland, as it will include musical performances and interview segments “in a setting designed to look like an after-hours club for musicians.”

The show, which will reportedly be called Later with John Mayer, is expected to air weekly on Paramount Plus with occasional specials airing on CBS. There’s also talks of some kind of Grammy Awards tie-in; however, details on the prospective series remain scant, as CBS and Mayer have yet to comment on the report.

The Grammy-winning artist has landed multiples TV gigs throughout his decades-long career. In 2004, he hosted a VH1 comedy special called John Mayer Has a TV Show. He was also among the 10 men who were tapped to guest host The Late Late Show following Craig Ferguson’s departure. 

Mayer has also hosted the Instagram Live series Current Mood since 2018. The 45-minute talk show includes musical performances and artist interviews, among other amusing segments. He explained his motives for creating the show in an Instagram Live broadcast back in 2019.

“The show started as a way to fight my own loneliness, and maybe help some other people fight theirs ...” Mayer told his audience, as reported by the Associated Press. “Part of me wanting to do this show is to bring people back to a more human tradition of hearing someone talk, believing what they’re saying, being put at ease, made to feel OK. So set aside some time to be truthful and kind. The world around you is beautiful. The world that is downloaded from the big mother brain in the sky as contributed by millions of people … that’s tiring. We all have to live in there, but let’s live outside the Matrix as well.”

https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE). Este repunte se explica fundamentalmente por un mayor volumen de comisiones aplicadas en los préstamos y créditos bancarios. De hecho, el TEDR (la TAE excluyen...

Colorado High School Coach Says He Was Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

-
https://ift.tt/Oj01b3 Colorado high school students are demonstrating in support of Inoke Tonga, a volleyball coach who claims he was forced to resign from his job because of his sexuality.  According to the  Denver Post , Tonga left his position at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, where he had coached the volleyball team during the 2020-2021 school year. The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
