Just hours back, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon dropped a new interview clip through their handles. It featured John Mayer sitting down with the beloved host, who pointed out his comedic talents. The 49-year-old revealed the guitarist once wrote comedy bits for the late-night show. In his response, the musician agreed he wrote a commercial for the show once and sent it to Andy Cohen.

Then he described the bit, which was for the product called Crypto Bismol, made for stomach cramps. However, the ‘Gravity’ singer never “heard another thing about it until you fully produced the commercial”. Hearing this, the host laughed and showed viewers the commercial they made on his idea. The video introduced a syrup that calmed the stomachs of people who invested all their money in Crypto.
