He did all of the songs

lol. Yea this is such a fact. As a musician of much worked on skill yet nearly no notoriety, at all, and al fan for life, there's nothing I would be no more honoured by than Weird Al doing one of my songs.

*laughs in Michael Jackson

Definitely! ^^

ONE of your songs, Weird Al did like half the whole show!!!!

True 🤪

Everyone are massive Weird Al fanboy.

Watching his body language tells all. He's fanboying HARD!

He is indeed a cool dude.

he's a massive fanboy of everything I think, hahaha if he likes something he'll gush about it and make references to it in everything he does he's a nerd/geek and that's why other nerds/geeks love him so much or I guess he's "weird" and that's why other weirdos like him. however you want to say it. he's like every other Weird Al fan, hahaha

He's so alive and we all can feel his energy. It was such a blast interview. I love love love it.

Jimmy thanked Al in the liner notes of his first album (before he was host of the Tonight Show). He's been a fan forever.

Usually Jimmy is more interested in Jimmy.

@Adam Haywood These comments are stupid.

It's called cocaine.

*_YES!_*

I’d sell my right kidney to get tickets to that

That would be beautiful!

He'd be amazing as Lafayette/Jefferson, both slightly comic characters

Yes

And he seems so nervous and exited the whole time😅

I know it's fucking adorable 😆

And Weird Al is so humble about the honor of being immortalized by him. It’s true!! Every artist knows what an honor it is to have him parody a song they wrote. It doesn’t get any better then that!!

"I can't believe we're here with him he seems aproachable like you could grab a beer with him"

andrineslife no the way Lin looks at literally anyone!

I just need someone in life who looks at me the way my cat does and the way lin Manuel Miranda looks at literally everyone

YES

I want a woman to look at me the way a woman wants Lin to look at her

andrineslife I want someone to look at me the way Lin looks at everyone! Really! He’s so sweet!

Super underrated

No one knows how the game is played, the art of the trade, how the sausage gets made.

@@tyroland06 we just assume that it happens

you made we wheeze/laugh like a donkey.

😂

100% agree. If Weird Al covers you, you’ve made it.

I wasn't into R&B until I listened to Trapped in the Drive-Thru

So true. I’ve heard many bands say they know they’ve finally made it when Weird Al asks to parody one of their songs. Doesn’t get any better then that.

@@junnecita3121 Flea from RHCP said as much

Nirvana said that's how they knew they had arrived. Thirty-plus years ago! Weird Al is timeless!

Danielle Rodgers One of the many reasons I adore him!!

Truly amazing!

Best revenge in my opinion. :D

You know what they say: success is the best revenge >:))

I saved a screenshot of this for inspiration, not even kidding

His first musical venture was recorded in a bathroom on a regular tape recorder which he sent to Dr Demento. I think the song was 'another one rides the bus'. (if I remember correctly)

@@annedonovan9005 I think it was My Bologna

Leafpool2 O! M! G! SAME!!!!!! That was on our burnt CD we listened to on the way to school everyday! That and “when I was your age” we’re all time greats!

He didn't play it in the tour. He ended with the starwars one.

For me, I thought of Christmas at Ground Zero. One of my faves of all time! It was on the album my ex-BF bought by accident thinking it was Al’s Dad’s polka music. 😂LOL

Isn't it great when you realize people you admire like the same things you do? 😉😁

Imshortitsok06 what can they say except, “You’re Welcome.”

Literally. With these two around, look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now!

I honestly was thinking the exact same thing - what a time to be alive. Weird Al and LMM are both utter geniuses.

+Sea Pearl 📵📵

Still stand by this statement?

@O Z Lin or Al?

Jonah Nichols Yes

Yes! They're both fucking awesome! I feel in love with the Hamilton soundtrack (and will probably subscribe one month to Disney+ to finally see it) and when I finally heard Weird Al's polka my heart melted. It's sooooooo good! My heart goes out to both of them ♥️

@Clairvoyante yeah, you have bad music taste.

@Clairvoyante Yeah, fuck you, too.

And in *5 PART HARMONY*

yeah but its hard to expect a host to be a big fan of every guest they have. I think his usual hosting style is just how he is for someone who is "average" to him. As in, its his job to interview them, but he don't really like them or hate them.

@@joesr31 I meant this as a direct retort against folks that defend his fake laughter and constant interruptions. Here his laughter is genuine and he lets the guests talk. I wish he would always act this way.

@@Glamador Jimmy is talented either way. Plenty of people watch him.

I have interviewed plenty of people. Two former Presidents, Governors, actors, NFL Hall of Famers, etc. As an interviewer, your usual style is/should be similar to Jimmy’s. Upbeat, positive, but not too much so. In this interview, he’s straight up fanboying and gushing, which is awesome. But that is totally impossible to expect to be the norm for any interviewer. For instance, I interviewed Trump in 2014 and Obama prior to that (2013 I think). I approached those interviews with a serious, fair, unbiased attitude, because that was the appropriate method to use in those cases. However, when I interviewed Mike Epps (an unusually long interview-20 or 30 minutes of raw feed), it was mainly me asking obscure questions about his work and also gushing like Jimmy is doing here. When I interviewed Calvin Murphy and Jim Kelly (Basketball Hall of Famer and NFL Hall of Famer, respectively), they were also unusually long interviews (Kelly was 33 minutes long and Murphy’s was almost an hour of raw feed), and they also were mainly comprised of me asking about obscure games they played, or famous moments in their careers, or different topics of note related to them. Basically my favorite/best interviews I have conducted were with famous people/athletes who I genuinely liked and who didn’t have a handler on hand to cut the interview short. And most importantly, the best interviews were with subjects that I knew I would never ever get the chance to interview again (Jim Kelly being the exception since we both live in Western NY and I’ve talked to him informally a hundred times). Also, given that I reported for a local cable news network, it’s hilarious to me that I spent 90% of the above interviews asking questions that I knew had a 0% chance of ever being on television. The subjects also knew that, but could obviously tell that I was genuinely interested and thusly were accommodating.

@@augustushaynes1311 I feel maybe something was misunderstood with my intent here. Jimmy's usual "style" feels fake and insincere, not professional. He makes an attempt to imitate what we see here in this clip, poorly. But the common counterargument I hear to that statement is that he is laughing and cavorting *genuinely* with his guests. I posit that this clip disproves that position. *This* Jimmy is sincere. Normal Jimmy is not. And that is why I hate watching him.

ikr. when you embody comedy and music, aging stops. Lol

@@ravnjokr Well I've got to try harder to be funny then! LOL Actually there is something to be said though for the power of the arts to keep you young if you're passionate about comedy, singing, etc.

That's what a happy person looks like

Yeah, his hair is thinning, but that's about it!

Damn you ain't kidding! he looks the same as he did back when I was a kid! Love the guy!

Seriously! Saw him open for Missing Persons in '81 I think. Amazing then and now. A seriously talented musician

Running with Scissors in Vancouver was the second concert I ever saw. And I use the word concert lightly, because I need a bigger word. He is an incredible showman.

Are there... Are there people who aren't Weird Al fans? How sad and strange.

And his band!

Hamilton but they're all Weird Al Yankovic

He always comes across in these kinds of interviews as someone who's just overflowing with energy and ideas.

@@RichardX1 I think he uses applause as a fuel source, so he's also kind of overflowing with the energy he's getting from the audience!

Nick Antony YESSSSSS!!!!

Cuz the Super Bowl entertainment organizers are stupid!

Should've happened in 1999.

@@marybarry2230 That or they realize there is literally not enough bandwidth to handle the demand for that half time show. No... they're just straight up stupid.

@@mycroft16 thank you!

That's called humility.

He's just comfortable in his own skin and doesn't try to fake anything

PackerLover 12487 I see wut u did there. H e h.

Barbaro 12487 yessssss!

H a h

*H E E H E E*

Awwwww

Giggle's Vids He can be a bit bashful about compliments, but that just makes him even more adorable.

You can tell it still makes him kinda uncomfortable, but he's learned how to accept compliments.

When I met him and gushed about how much I loved his music. His response was just a smile with "Well that's why I do it. For the fans"

Truly. I love how our opportunities to actually observe humility has grown exponentially with the internet. It helps to inspire.

So true. He was so gracious. Weird Al at his finest.

Check out his Epic Rap Battles of History episode where he plays Sir Isaac Newton. One of his verses is absolutely insane.

You Tubed but the combo we needed.

www.change.org/p/change-org-theweirdalchallenge-for-charities

ScarlettP So is Wierd Al Yankovic as well.

Yes, they both are!

Sean Lauer Weird*

wierd Al as well????? nooooo... the only one....lin-manuel is not....

So is Weird Al. But why does it seem like the older folks are looking down on the people that can see Lin is also a legend? Hamilton is a masterpiece, and Lin is extremely talented and has written a lot of good music. Weird Al is a fantastic irreplaceable human being that can put a smile to everyone's faces. No need for conflict??

and the people he parodies like being parodied by him.

37?? Dude, he’s been making songs since 1976.. My Bologna was released in 1979 and he first charted in 1981 with Another One Rides the Bus … 42 years ago (39 years before your comment)

Agreed. One of the most totally underrated musicians ever. How talented do you have to be to emulate and improve on the sound of every major artist for like the past 30 years? Ridiculously, that's how much.

"this musical guy" lol

"this musical guy" is Lin-Manuel Miranda, the writer and star of "Hamilton", the biggest musical in the world right now.

“This musical guy” XD Hesthebestcelebrityeverrr

“This musical guy” IS A PRECIOUS LINNAMON ROLL, THAT MADE THE BIGGEST MUSICAL IN THE *_WORLD_* RIGHT NOW.

Eliza Hamilton PREACH!

locustkllr he is a world heritage site.

No. He belongs to the World! Just like Lin and Jimmy!

Weird Al confirmed for National Treasure 3.

C0rrupt3d Sp1r1t that’s awesome. As a history teacher I Adored the musical and plan on somehow incorporating it. Glad it’s being done

C0rrupt3d Sp1r1t well said!

Truth and well said! The fact that Lin and Jimmy are titanic Weird Al fans says volumes about Weird Al's celebrity *among other celebrities*, not simply the fan community at large.

you and everyone else talking about all this nonsense. Where is the cheering and clapping for the couch? Without such legendary upholstery to pedestal upon, neither LMM or WAY are anything. 3 cheers for couch!

The Truth Chill, this happens every generation, but he IS loved by many new generations, too!

Yeeeaahhhh I'm 18 and I know who he is.....he was more know before my time however his music (which is truly impressive by any standard) isn't what the vast majority of the younger generations are interested in. The style is out....as much as that might be hard for real, lifetime fans to accept

Randi Scott His last album hit #1 & most comments on his newer vids are from younger fans, lol!😊

Lol I guess I'll take your word for it

We all know who he is

PittsburghFan4Life13 “Living with a Hernia” that one I lose it every time seein it on KZfaq 😂

Oh man I could go on and on about weird als best....literally 10 songs come to mind: Eat it Fat My my this here anakin guy(forgot the official title lol) Rye or the kaiser I lost on Jeopardy Rocky Road White and Nerdy Amish Paradise Star Wars cantina Living with a hernia Like a Surgeon And there’s plenty more on top of that!

Just played "Eat It" for my 5 yo niece and 3&2 year old nephews. They loved it

"Fat" based off of "Bad" by Michael Jackson is good

strongpillow It's true, it's so true.

Multiple costume changes, the lighting, confetti, everyone in the audience singing along or laughing. Yeah, I haven't been to many live shows, but I loved his and Blue Man Group.

New Message so true.

Am I the older generation if I think Al is the legend?

They are both legends!

And you again

both Al and Lin are ledgends in their own rights!

Sam Mortensen “parody”

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bq2mY6te27bTdJc.html

Geez it was autocorrect

Calm down

Sam Mortensen ah you were so close

are these things you say mutually exclusive?

I clicked because of Al. He's the legend on that couch.

Chilisa Leeva We would actually have to wait some 20 years or so to see if Lin-Manuel holds his place of legend status.
