SmartLess Live with John Mayer

During the event, which took place at Avalon Hollywood in front of a capacity crowd of adoring fans and SiriusXM subscribers, Mayer opened up about his dating life, saying that though he is currently single, he is "absolutely" interested in being a husband and father, and that nowadays he "would not date someone unless it had the upward mobility for becoming a marriage."

Mayer also talked about why his stand-up comedy career never got off the ground, how he struggled as a teenager, and his idea for a vampire-themed TV show; and played a medley of hits on acoustic guitar for a crowd of adoring fans, even being joined briefly by Sean Hayes on backing vocals.
