I actually met Weird Al, at a book signing, back in 2013. Everyone in the long winding line was given a piece of paper and pencil so that they could jot down what they wanted Al to write in their book. It was such a joy to watch how Al smiled and interacted with his fans. He was so sweet, sincere and patient!! One woman started crying, when she walked up to him, and without hesitation Al got up and gave her a warm hug, When it was our turn my then 12 year old daughter got real shy and Al playfully mimicked her and made her laugh! 🥰
I think this is one of my favorite wholesome CZcams comments!
Love this comment! 😂
Can picture that, crack up.
Aww that's adorable ♥
I so wish that I could share that captured picture with you all!
Weird Al is truly a treasure. He has had the amazing ability to be a musical genius, use it to make parodies, become a superstar because of those parodies, creates a 40 year career of it, and be humble enough not to let it go to his head or lead by his ego.
Don't forget that he made a cult classic movie!
@@terminalbungus9566 UHF is amazing. If "Weird" follows a similar formula, we're in for a ride.
Proof positive that the “Weird” people are actually the coolest ones.
Fun fact. Weird Al signed a 12 albums contract in the 80s that basically forced him to release albums for the next 32 years even if he just wanted to release singles. So he was "forced" to have a long career.
Such a dood✌️
I officially love this. That Madonna moment was funny- that he met her for 45 seconds irl and she's in the whole movie. 😆
It's perfect. 😆
💯 Comedy gold
Her becoming a drug kingpin was hilarious. 😂😂
Yeah because she’s pretty famously anti drug.
@@mrbleak9873 is she...?
Kurt: "Is it going to be about food?"
Al: "It's about how nobody understands your lyrics."
Kurt: "Great!"
🙃
Kurt thought it was hilarious because it he knew it was so true.
@@chriskay1449 saw an old interview with all three of the guys, and they said: "That's when you know you've made it!"
Marble garbles in your mouth
LOL!
Weird Al is a blessing to the world.
I decided to leave a comment because he makes the accordion cool
He sure is!!! He's always made me smile!!! Whats better than that!!
He who's tired of "Weird" Al is tried of life.
john campea fan unite
He sure is 😉
I adore Al. Met him 3 times after concerts where he graciously stayed after the show and signed things at his tour bus. Not only is he a genuinely sweet, sincere, and humble man, but so are his band members (and let's not forget that those band members have to play everything from polka to rap to country in their shows-- they are all *ridiculously* talented in their own right). They all stayed outside the bus too and signed stuff, talked to fans, and it was a blast-- even though they had a 6+ hour bus ride to their next show the next day and it was well after midnight when they got done. My love and admiration for Weird Al and Berm, Steve, Jim, and Ruben is unending and I hope they are able to tour for many, many years to come.
I feel like Al moves through the world 1.5x speed faster than the rest of us.
Hopped up on goofballs!
@@materialmirage meaning he's goofy and funny. Maybe too much coffee
Possible you just have your video at 1.5x playback speed
I think he’s on the spectrum
@@no1nestandsalone387 I mean, I suppose it's possible.. But nothing wrong with that, in many cases that can be an advantage
Weird Al was my first ever concert. I've been in over 1000 mosh pits since then, but I still remember that show. The rest of us don't deserve how amazing this man is. I love you, Weird Al.
Mine too! I was going to comment the same thing
Same, 1984 on the Tour of the Universe in 3-D Tour, and at least a dozen shows since. Now I'm taking my duaghter to his shows. Really hoping this wasn't the last tour.
Mister Derp? Dumbasses Egregiously Representing Penis-heads
ME TOO... My Ex got me tickets to see him... What an absolute legend!
Same
When my son was a little boy one of his favorites was Weird Al. I surprised him with front row seats at a venue in Chicago when he was around 11. He told me I was the cool mom for taking him to see Weird Al. Weird Al put on a great show that night. If you get the chance see him in person. He never disappoints:)
🎶 how come you're always such a fussy young man don't want no Captain Crunch don't want no Raisin Bran.
Well don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan, so eat. Just eat it 🎶 🎵
@@FinnGermias8 🎶Ba-ba-ba-baarrryyyyy dingle🎶
Don't wanna argue I don't wanna debate.
Don't wanna hear about what kind of food you hate.
You won't get no dessert till you clean off your plate so EAT IT EAT IT
@@FinnGermias8 🎶Oo my little hungry one..hungry one,
Open up a package of Baarryyy Dingle.
Oo I think the toast is done..the toast is done,
Share it with a little guy, Baarryyy Dingle.
With myyy myyy myyy
Ba-ba-ba-baaarrryyyy Dingle
Also took my young son to see Weird Al in concert. It's one of our favorite memories. Was the White and Nerdy tour
This man is a low-key legend. There aren't too many people in the last 40 years who have not heard of him.
We talked about this movie this weekend at a party with someone dressed as AL and this woman said she didn't know who he was, I've never seen a group of individuals express their disgust for someone collectively like that before lmao then she said she didn't know who Danielle was and my friends lost their minds. She's in her 30s and I'm like, where have you been for your life.
Then again I have people walk up to me and ask me what breed of dog my dog is, he's a German shepherd, bothers me if they're fucking with me or genuinely stupid. Also, it's basically daily and that disturbs me
@@anthonyzullo lol thats funny litterally any other dog breed i get not knowing immediatly but only huskys probably more famous
@@anthonyzullo I'd say stupid!
If you think Weird Al should be inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, LIKE this comment!
Not just the Hall of Fame. I've been saying for years that he needs to headline the Super Bowl
I'm surprised he isn't yet!😯
I disagree. Rock and roll hall of fame is garbage. They don't deserve Weird Al.
Ooh! Just to rif off the movie. It would be funny if the team Madonna did a song it two with him haha
@@andywhtwo000 That would be amazing! Hopefully next NFL season he'll be playing the halftime show if we create a buzz and keep putting the idea out there :)
I took my mom to see Weird Al once, and it was no joke one of the best shows I've ever seen. He is a shockingly adept performer, and positively hilarious.
I just realized Weird Al is the alternate personality of John Lithgow.
Fecking brilliant, I'd love to see those two do a parody or a skit together rotfl
@@laeinea That would be absolutely cool.
You bastard lol now I'll never unsee that.
I just realized he’s Bruce Campbell!? 😮😮😮
@@briancynn392 Bruce Lithgow 🤣
I had an epically bad childhood and weird al made me live another day. I love this man.
Sorry to hear. Me, too.
Sorry to hear, i wish you both a good and long life from now on!
I am sorry you had a bad childhood Katie. Hopefully you got stronger for it.
I'm really sorry to hear that x x x
My own childhood was the same. Humor keeps us sane in this world. We need people like Al.
Weird Al is extremely under-rated. The guy is a musical genius. So glad to see him on Fallon 😄
Underrated? He has five Grammy Awards and six Platinum records, and is the only celebrity I know that no one has said anything bad about. Like not one single hater, ever. I would say he is rated just right.
EDIT: Except for Coolio, R.I.P. But it was a misunderstanding and they were since friends.
If Weird Al is extremely underrated that makes The Beatles an Indie garage band and Michael Jackson just a street performer..
Weird Al went platinum like 5 decades in a row or something.
He’s got Grammys he ain’t underrated
He is highly rated.
😂
Weird Al Yankovic is a living legend. Considering him extremely underrated is hilarious.
What a legend!! Dude is playing the record label executive turning down HIMSELF in a movie they made about HIM. Been a fan since the 80s, keep it up you weirdo
I still wonder how they got all that hair under the wig. Lol
Everyone loves Weird Al. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid over 3 decades ago. Just a true gift to the world
Weird Al was such a huge part of my childhood. I'm really grateful that he made me smile so much =) So friggin talented and a genuinly decent human
First cassette tape here!
I just left a Weird Al concert at QPAC in Brisbane tonight. What an amazing man. He's so gifted.
The man is such a misunderstood genius. Nice to see him.
Not misunderstood at all, he's just wierd. But still a genius.
63??? Omfg 🤣 he is awesome!!
Al is super kind ,friendly and respectful..he never swore in his entire life..dosent drink or smoke or does drugs..his band is super tight and he puts on on he'll of a show..
This man belongs in the music hall of fame. He’s a legend
Weird Al is what everyone in this world needs. I have LOVED his career. He is a blessing to this troubled world.
A certified genius. Anyone who can mash up Money For Nothing and The Ballad of Jed Clampett (“Swimmin’ pools, move-uh-move-uh movie stars!”) or make a Bob Dylan pastiche out of nothing but palindromes is on another level. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him twice, and he is a genuinely honest and for true good guy.
Why is this man not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
He certainly will be
He might be a star and the biggest of his genre but he’s still not viewed as a totally credible artist since he built his career on parodies rather than original works. That and he won’t get big enough ratings to satisfy the Rock Hall, not that anyone watches the show live.
He's so cute and unapologetically nerdy after all this time and doesn't seem to have changed by fame one bit.
Only Weird Al could make Jimmy act like a normal human being.
I was going to say something similar and risk online ridicule. For once, Jimmy was knowledgeable, respectful, admiring and open. He didn't make it about himself and his "meformance." He made it about Weird Al and his enjoyment shared ours, instead of dominated or micromanaged. I was pleased with this moment, and have so much regard for Al. He is a conduit for good.
Jimmy is such a lying sack. He acts like he's seen the movie and loved it but he clearly didn't when Al verifies that the Madonna character is in the entire movie and it cracks Jimmy up because Jimmy clearly NEVER saw the movie 4:46
Jimmy must actually be a fan, he didn't spend the whole interview interrupting and fake cackle laughing like he usually does.
what, I didn't notice it.
It's funny, every time I see a negative comment about Jimmy Fallon, it's ALWAYS from a dude. I think men hate Jimmy because he doesn't fit their mold. He's nice and sweet and goofy, and women adore him. Other men be jealous AF.
We saw Al and the band at Carnegie Hall, and they really knocked it out of the park. Third row dead center. The lighting, sound, and performance made it feel like Al was really singing his heart out just for us. Thanks so much for an incredible show!
I love this guy, a guy that doesn’t take himself and the world seriously
He takes his work and that's all that matters!
The Madonna reveal at 4:50 had me grinning from ear to ear. I love love love this idea
Weird Al is one of the true greats. He absolutely belongs at Carnegie Hall.
I was at the show at Carnegie Hall and it was genuinely an excellent experience. I stood through almost the entire show (which I could do because there was nobody seated behind me in the second tier balcony). Definitely a one-of-a-kind event that I knew I had to attend as soon as I knew it was happening. Can't wait for the movie!
Al's passion and enthusiasm for his craft is just fkn tops. I adore this man!!! I have a sibling who is developmentally disabled and when we were kids, it could be difficult to connect with them. But holy crap, did we play The Food Album on repeat and sing along together!! Some of my fondest memories include I Love Rocky Road and Addicted to Spuds 🤣🤣
The fact that Al took something unconventional that he loves outside a normal life and mad a living off of it is inspiring. I remember listening to him on Dr. Domento as a kid.
I just got home from a Weird Al concert. We are so blessed to have this man alive the same time as us :-)
All the wigs in that scene.. oh my gosh… 😂 stop
Weird Al is a national treasure man we must protect him at all cost man.
You can tell when Jimmy is a true fan of his guest. He was totally geeked for this!!!
I've been a fan of Weird Al almost as long as he's been making music, and UHF is criminally underrated! You know what's weird? Weird Al Yankovic is going to get a Yankovic bump from Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, lol
I saw Weird Al live in Kings Dominion shortly after Running with Scissors came out. During his song "One More Minute", Al started walking off stage and into the crowd. He had to rush back to finish the set and get ready for the next song, but on his way back to the stage, I held my hand out and he High Fived it in passing.
Best. Night. Ever.
Weird Al is a legend. The world is a better place for him.
Can anyone even remember a time without Weird Al? Seriously, what did we do before he came around? Music became infinitely better because of his parodies.
What is it? More than 40 years of music right?
I remember being a little kid, like 4 or 5 and hearing both the Queen version "Another one Bites the Dust" and the Weird Al "Another One Rides the Bus" playing on the radio. Saw him live a few years ago, and is one of the best shows I've ever seen. Amazing talent.
He wasn't that popular around the world till CZcams. Yes he produced music before then but the vast majority of the world never heard it
@@imSUPPRESED I disagree. There was life b4 YT, and Weird Al amassed millions of fans all the way back to early releases on the Dr Dimento Show. His parodies got lotsa radio play. YT and modern tech has just made his shows better and his work more widely accessible.
Dr Dimento was around before him. Lots of “acts” got playing time on radio before YT was even a dream.
Weird AL is a gem because he doesn't take himself or his career too seriously! He's got a great sense of humor!👨🦱🎤
Him and John Lithgow might as well be twins. Also both geniuses, love em.
His parody songs have been making me laugh since I was a child. Weird Al Yankovic is comedy royalty to me. Top 5 for sure...
Weird Al is so lovable, did I mention he didn't even age after 30 years?
Madonna needs to meet up with Weird Al and watch the movie together.
1980s, Weird Al cassette blaring, jumping on the bed, singing every word … good ol days 😂❤
massive smile on my face throughout this interview - what a gem!!
Such a great musician and great fashion taste! What a guy!
I thought he was silly years ago….but now older and wiser he is quite a genius… and a sweet kind soul.
Parody of a parody of a padody :)
We all get mellow as we age. He seems an interesting man for sure.
@@winnied87 I wish people knew that more than half of the songs on Al's 14 studio albums are his incredible originals.
His last 2 tours were only his original songs and I loved it!!! Al is an amazing musician, lyricist and performer.
@@zoeym4868 Thank you, Zoey. I might listen to more of his songs to discove more of his talent. Have you heard the most recent one, by the way? It was released hours ago.
When I’m feeling down. Or sad or depressed. I listen to Al. I have CZcams on and watch hours of his music video. Thank you Weird Al! ❤
I think the number of people who agreed to cameo shows just how respected Weird Al is.
He is a national treasure. Saw him play with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia festival and it was AMAZING! He is really an incredible performer.
I went to this tour and it was absolutely amazing. He is so talented, so fun and such a joy to watch perform.
Saw your tour in Maine, Weird Al! it was amazing to sit in front of the stage and see you in person. You rock the whole stage!
Weird Al is more of a genius than Kanye ever will be😁
💯
He's just too humble to admit it.
But the difference is that Kanye is a billionaire, and Weird Al, isn't~
@@chgofirefighter And your point?
@@chgofirefighter can't take it with you when you go.
I feel like Dan not looking like Al adds to the parody of the biopic tbh
“I hope I get a Rassie!” Everyone knows, if he does, he will be up there to proudly accept and will give the most genuine, sincere speech.
When I first saw the trailer, I had almost completely forgotten about the parody trailer on FoD all those years back. After a few seconds of the trailer, it was clear that they just made the fake trailer into a movie, which is the most brilliant idea ever. I was so thrilled to see Eric Appell, as mentioned the director, still out there grinding every day for these.
As a once-I-tried-for-like-six-months-but-eventually-gave-up-because-i-was-bad filmmaker, I always struggled with my writing and making things "believable", which is why I so envy the idea of "Oh hey, lets just make it up!".
With very little original content coming out these days, it is so nice to see a brand new story being told, even if it is incredibly fake.
I love how "Weird" Al is the least weird person in showbiz.
Holy shit is he hyper, especially for 63!
"Coming this Christmas to a theater near you... the most horrifying film to hit the screen...."
I still can't believe Al was assassinated back in 1985. I can remember exactly where I was at that moment, watching the awards show on my couch. Rest in paradise Alfred!
🎵😊🎵
The world needs more Weird Al’s now more than ever.
Weird Al is the greatest musical and comedy genius of this or any other age.
I recently took my nephews to see Weird Al and they loved the show. Emo Phillips even used my younger nephew as a punchline in his opening act.
The smartest and most underrated artist and comedian. He is the GOAT
Weird Al! Wow! Such great funny memories watching his videos on MTV in the 90s as a kid! What a wholesome treat! Thanks Jimmy! Thanks Mr. Weird AL! 😊
My brothers and I never laughed harder than watching UHF! We still talk and laugh about that movie all the time, dude smashed the mold!
I love that movie 🎥. It’s such an under rated classic ❤
Spatula City!
@@johnk7267 They sell spatulas and that’s all! 🎶
I can’t wait to see that movie. Love this guy, so funny and humble, so incredibly intelligent and talented.
My childhood idol. Saw Al at the OC fair in the early 2000s. His energy is astounding. "Love you brother from another mother" ❤🎉
Amazing work out there Weird Al appreciate the hard work you do thank you
God!!!!! This gentleman is amazing. To have the privilege of Al in pretty much our entire lives is quite the treat. His brilliance and humor is top notch. Life would be so boring without his presence among us. Thank you,Al. For continuing to kick ass. Many times listening to your songs with gut busting laughter.
His shows are absolutely incredible. I don' t care if you're into noise-rock, hip-hop, punk, opera, afro-cuban drums, cumbia, blah blah blah....it will be one of the best shows you ever see. Pure joy and probably the most diverse crowd you'll ever encounter.
Jimmy is soooo nice to all of his guest. Such a great guy
I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Weird Al after a concert, to have him sign my ticket stub and have a short conversation with him! That was one of the best nights of my life! Al is truly such a humble and down to earth person to talk to!
I hope to be this jolly and silly at 63
I am a long term fan of Weird Al and enjoyed his many songs. I only got to see him live one time at an amusement park in Pennsylvania but due to the crowd did not get a seat in the stadium to see him. Well I still got to see parts of the show in a weird way. It happened that at this park their ski lift type of ride ran past a good portion of where he was performing. So my friend and I just kept getting on the ride and lucky for us there was no line for the ride. So we saw a good portion of his show from an elevated seat going by the performance area !
I watched it the other night, loved it! I will watch it again.
Weird Al was my first concert in the mid 90s. I've seen him about 4 times since. Such an amazing performer.
I have seen Al twice, and I agree some of the best shows I've ever seen.
If you had told me in the 80s that this guy would end up being a National Treasure and gain so much respect I would have laughed at you. I enjoyed his parodies but didn’t seem like something that could be sustained. Mad props to Al. He is a true talent. Also….bring on the UHF sequel.
Weird Al is a national treasure. He looks at The Beatles and Frank Sinatra and thinks "I don't belong here," even though his cultural influence by now has far surpassed theirs. Truly an incredibly humble man. As an icon once said, "He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life."
Not a bad song on his first like 6 albums. Nobody else can claim that.
I'm tired of life, but I'll never be tired of Weird Al.
I've met Al a few times and the rumors are true...he is the nicest guy on the planet. And should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And should do the Superbowl Halftime Show.
I just took my daughter to see Weird Al in May! It was my 1st Weird concert as well an I've been a fan since i was younger than her. Fantastic show, so funny, so talented. Every bit as good I knew he would be 💕
what a wonderful dude! I have loved him since I was a little girl
Or little boy in your case
@@Faulkdizzleyearsand whatever floats your boat..Instead of insulting females of their non feminine looks why don't you go suck David Blaine's asshole
@@RosesOfSaturn lol you're awesome! I definitely deserved that! Good job standing up for yourself and women in general! I'm actually not cruel... I have this thing where I often say the opposite of what is true.... I felt comfortable saying that to you because it's obviously not the case... you're very pretty and clearly don't look like a guy at all. I really like your hair it looks nice.... and I'm sorry.
Weird Al needs to be the Super Bowl halftime performer next year.
I always look back at the times when Weird Al was on top of the world. You knew an artist was doing well when Weird Al would spoof one of their most popular songs at that time. He made you look at music in a different kind of way and made you appreciate both, him and the original artist.
Truly a legend !
Al is so humble and spot on!
I love Weird Al!! He’s so hilarious and imaginative with his songs 😂😂
Such a great guy. The world is a better place because of him.
Weird Al Yankovich is so funny, I love that he's still as hilarious as in the eighties!❤😂 I MUST see that film!
It's on Roku for free fyi
Saw him twice when I was a kid about 25 years ago. He puts on such a unique and great show. Totally worth seeing regardless of what kind of music you like.
Brilliant. For as long as I can remember (47 years young), Weird Al has been parodying the biggest songs....hilarious and timeless every time too.
His song.. "One more minute" is a masterpiece and the ultimate breakup song😂 I've loved it and keeps listening to it since the 90s😅
We saw Weird Al in Loughlin, NV as VIP's for my son's 18th birthday. Such a treat - and the best birthday present ever for Marcus (we enjoyed ourselves immensely, and we were starstruck). Al is a national treasure and a super-cool guy.
Weird Al deserves this biopic! And he's still so positive and enthusiastic and brilliant! I am totally looking forward to this movie!
You know that you have made it in the music industry if Weird Al asks to parody your latest hit
"Another One Rides The Bus" love this guy. I grew up laughing to his music. Thank you!!!!
I love Weird Al!!! So glad to see him back around😍❤. Can't wait to see Biopic!!!💙
I never realized how many of his song made up my childhood. Love him. So funny and uplifting.
