CBSThere might be plenty of fish in the sea, but catching a fellow #leftshark is not easy...
John Mayer and Katy Perry have done just that, though, it would seem! On Wednesday, the 37-year-old singer guest hosted CBS' Late Late Show, and the famed dancing sharks from Katy's Super Bowl XLIX halftime show were his first guests.
The sharks—which were "actually a huge get for me," John gushed—were joined by a marine biologist named Carl. Carl quickly explained to John that the sharks "can't talk—they're not dolphins," adding, "[but] of course they dance—they're Super Bowl sharks!"

? KATY PERRY (@katyperry) February 5, 2015Although John noted multiple times that "both sharks did a fine job" performing with Katy, neither left shark nor right shark wanted to dance with him. "I'm sorry to disappoint everyone here tonight," the marine biologist explained, "but these sharks don't dance for anything less than $100,000."
Undefeated, John proceeded to do a bit of dancing by himself before introducing his next guest, Watch What Happens Live's Andy Cohen. John told the Bravo host about watching Katy's Super Bowl show from "the family box" Sunday, and he could not have been any prouder of her (or the sharks)!
"It was unbelievable," he said. "And I think the whole thing about the sharks, everybody wants to talk about the sharks because it's just something everyone can grab onto because not everyone feels comfortable walking around saying that Katy Perry was amazing...So they use the sharks as kind of, 'Guys, love the sharks.' It's like, you have nothing bad to say about the performance, do you? 'No, I don't.' Because if they did, you'd hear about it...She made the internet a kind, gentle place for a day. It was awesome."
Andy completely agreed, as did John's other Late Late Show guest, John Legend. The "All of Me" singer and wife Chrissy Teigen were pretty starstruck to meet the Super Bowl sharks. The swimsuit model and her hubby must've been quite convincing, too, because Chrissy Instagrammed a shot of her and John dancing with the famed fish!
Maybe next time, Mayer.
