Now make a biopic where Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe play each other

I can see why they chose Daniel Radcliffe for this role as he and Al have the same energy. Both are very subdued and restrained until you talk to them, and then there is this bubbling energy and creative passion that just comes out and suddenly they're gesticulating wildly with their whole body and going off about whatever topic you just brought up on a long and winding tangent.

The fact that Al himself played a record exec making fun of him when he was younger was absolute GOLD! Al really is an awesome guy...had that absolute fortune and joy to run into him many years ago and he was so gracious and generous with his time. Complete class act!

The funny thing is, as a 16-time Grammy Nominee, 5-time Grammy Winner, Weird Al is is more critically acclaimed than most of the artists he parodies!

I read “Daniel Radcliffe and Weird Al Yankovic”, I realize we live in the best possible timeline.

I'm so glad Daniel is rich enough that he can chose whatever projects he likes. Everything he's done since Harry has been original & interesting with amazing casts. I can't WAIT until the next season of Miracle Workers comes out.

Daniel Radcliffe and Weird Al both seem like such amazing people. they just give off a friendly energy.

I've listened to some of Weird Al's parodies more than I've listened to the actual song being parodied. His band is amazing as well and deserves a lot of credit for being able to mimic so many different styles.

I was lucky enough to see a screening of this film, and seriously, RUN (don’t walk) to go see it. It is absolutely hilarious.

It's unusual to see a three-person interview where nobody is faking their admiration of each other.

"I did fight a Colombian death squad." Yeah Al we've all seen party in the CIA

I love that Al has been so successful for so long without having any drug issues or scandals. Sometimes nice guys _do_ finish first.

I love Weird Al because he always visibly seems to be happy about something.

These three are just the sweetest people in show biz. They're all so kind and sincere and enthusiastic. It's a rare treat.

I DJed a donut-eating contest this summer at a company picnic, and the organizers said: "can you play some fun music while the contestants compete?" I basically stood there, waiting for the right moment to play "Eat It." Probably my most proud moment as a DJ. Weird Al takes me back to being a kid and collecting all of his albums!

Weird Al is the best. He’s so talented musically and lyrically, hilarious, and a truly kind person. His Wikipedia page is worth a read if you want to learn his actual history

Weird Al is literally one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. People think I’m joking and it’s not something to joke about.

I never get tired of seeing Daniel Interviewed. So glad his career has continued on and is so diverse. Never would have imagined him playing Weird Al. I must check it out!

I was a stormtrooper at one of his shows, afterwards too many people were crammed into a portable trailer due to rain for his autograph session, it was hot, it was miserable. Didn't matter, he was 100% caring to every fan there.

Weird Al is such a treasure. Honestly Daniel is on his way to being a legend too. Guy really cares about being a GOOD actor, and it shows.

I remember Al's Behind the Music special on VH1. His cracks are legendary in my mind. But the funniest thing he said was, "And then my third album went Gold instead of Platinum! I had to get the MEDIUM-SIZED Jacuzzi!" while sobbing. I laughed myself silly at that.

Of course Dan learned to play the accordion to do a Weird Al movie! This is a guy who took a lead role in a Broadway musical and worked his ass off learning to sing and dance well enough to not embarrass himself or let the show down! He’s amazing.

Amish Paradise is still one of the greatest songs ever made

I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel and Erin (his girlfriend) while they were first dating almost a decade ago during the filming of 'Horns'. They were absolutely a joy to hang out with, Daniel was hilarious, and Erin was so much fun. I saw Weird Al perform live a few years ago in Vancouver and it's still the best live show I've ever seen.

Daniel Radcliffe is the most down-to-earth and humble star ever. Right out the gate he's directing all the attention to Al and gives Al the seat closest to Seth. Daniel is so much more relevant right now, but he always defers to others. Such a class act.

Al's original song, Velvet Elvis is my favorite song. The harmonies are incredible. I saw him perform this live and it was even better His band is beyond belief talented. They've been together for 40 years and are so tight that they blend into a unified organism.

The actors who played his parents are also great dramatic actors that just make this so much funnier. “Your father and I just think you should stop being yourself and doing the things you love.”😅

I never realized how truly musically gifted Al is. He’s such an icon & also he seems like a really genuinely great guy

Daniel Radcliffe is such a sweetheart. The way he sat on the next seat, so he could give primary seat to Al.. ..... He was my first crush... and will always have a special place in my heart...

Radcliffe, Yankovic, and Forte in one clip???? I can't wait for this movie!

“If I’m leaving the house, I’m not dressing as Harry Potter” Now I’m just imagining him wandering around his house in Potter gear 😂

I really hope Daniel gets recognition for this cos he's super underrated for his roles outside HP.

Amish Paradise is still my hands down favorite Weird Al song... and the fact that he wrote it over 80 years before Pastime Paradise is even more amazing 😛

Radcliffe has done enough great movie roles after Harry Potter to be not recognized only as the Potter kid.

Can we all agree that Daniel Ratcliffe and Weird Al are both national treasures?

Weird Al doing a parody movie of Weird Al's life in which he meets himself from the past is just meta level 9000+ 😵‍💫

Weird Al is a national treasure! Right up there with Tom Hanks

FYI: I’ve met each of these men and they are just as cool and friendly in real life as they are here. Both legends.

Who doesn't love Weird Al?!? He is awesome!

He stayed true to himself all these years and didn't fall into the trappings of fame and wealth. It's really impressive.

Daniel is a good interview. Al is zany, unpredictable and time flies by. The two are a historical moment. I haven't had the patience to watch a movie in years. But this is one of those moments.

As a kid in the 80’s, I use to love Weird Al’s parody songs cause they would make me smile, laugh, be happy.

I was blessed enough to see Weird Al live at Carowinds in NC. It was the most entertaining show that I have ever been to and I've been to 463 live shows.

Weird Al is genuinely a class act of a human being.

I can remember hearing Weird Al on The Doctor Demento show back in the early 1980s. I loved it but I knew that Weird Al was just a novelty act that would never last.

That clip instantly made me want to see that movie!

Got my first Weird Al album in 1997, and my music teacher said she listened to him in the 80's in high school! You'd think he'd be much older! 🤯

Weird Al is one of the most underrated music artists of all time!

Saw Al live and gotta say...dude puts on a show. Non-stop the whole time, vocals where great, and there was a zillion costume changes.

Weird Al and Dan Radcliffe: Best combination since peanut butter and chocolate.

THAT WAS A funny FILM! Dan NAILED the part of Weird Al!

Haven't ever watched a Seth Meyers interview before but the guy seems really cool and not fake like most late night hosts.

Seth has interviewed some of the most beautiful people and joked around with some of the funniest, but the only thing I've ever been envious of is him getting that hug from Weird Al.

I had to laugh at Seth's story about hearing "Eat It" on the radio for the first time and thinking, "this changes everything," because I had the exact same experience except with "Like a Surgeon." My friends and I stopped what we were doing, stopped talking, and just listened. I still remember where we were standing on the playground with a 1980s boom box when the song came on.

Couldn’t have done it any better. Huge Weird Al fan and Daniel killed it! Such a fun movie for the diehard fans and newbies. 😁

Weird Al is an absolute musical genius and the film was freakin entertaining... Best artist parody film since Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Kudos to Daniel and everyone involved.

It's great just how long Weird Al has endured. He's like a comedy elder statesman.

I remember seeing Weird Al on 'spicks & specks', an Aussie music quiz show back in the 2000s. He was so freaking good at 'substitute', where you had to sing a well known song but substitute the lyrics with text from a random book. Not a huge surprise that he was good, but he was CRAZY good.

I still remember in 1990 when i was 10, my mom got me in to meet Weird Al while his hairdresser was getting him ready for a show backstage. He wackily spun around in his chair, and acted like he was so happy to see me, then signed a personalized autograph. Talk about a super nice guy.

I remember buying "BAD HAIR DAY" as a CD. I can't wait to see this movie.

I think it's just amazing that Weird Al has reached the pinnacle of his career: becoming the former Harry Potter.

This interview was pure good vibes! Now I wanna see the movie.

I got to play live with him... as a busker outside of the WA State Fair where he was playing inside, I was outside playing along. He doesn't know it, but I do. I've played with dozens of great bands and performers, and Al is a much better musician than he's giving credit for. It was an honor to play along.

Daniel Radcliffe is doing a fantastic job overcoming being Harry potter. I can see him have a very successful career moving forward.

It’s so important to understand the impact that he had on the industry of music and how iconic he actually is. he created the songs that we love and will remember bard the first love of music and the songs he parodied. Iv seen him so many times.. he is such a performer and is a rock star truly.

Makes me happy that he knows the sea captain!

Weird Al is incredibly kind in real life. National treasure.

amazing interview. everyone seems genuinely excited to be apart of the conversation. Glad you are such a big fan Seth!

One of the BEST concerts I've EVER attended was with Weird Al Yankovic. SO much energy and FUN!

Weird Al is one of the only celebrities I have ever met in my life. I was around 19, it was like 1am in a Taco Bell in Michigan City, Indiana.

Daniel being quite a talented rapper, what I would really love to hear is him doing the rap in the middle of "Hardware Store". 😁

Radcliffe was actually pretty awesome in “Swiss Army Man”. Gave me a greater appreciation of his craft than even the Miracle Workers series, which is also great.

What a great duo! I remember spending WEEKS trying to sing along Al's "Hardware Store", to mediocre results. That man is a word magician, rivaled only by Eminem. My favorite parody of his has to be White & Nerdy. It's better than the original! And Daniel, what a class act he is. Always a pleasure in an interview. I bet he's fun to work with also. He's held many good roles since Harry Potter, but the character will always stay with him, like Indiana Jones for Harrison Ford. Especially since he's decided to never age... It's the price of success!

I greatly admire Al and Daniel, Al being so talented musically, Daniel a seemingly unspoiled child star, also very talented, perhaps not on the accordion, but for me for one, that is a huge relief.

It really is a great movie. Radcliffe keeps showing his range, above and beyond the Potter phenomenon. I liked him quite a bit in "Horns," a fine flick with an interesting premise and a good plot with plenty of moving drama. I think Radcliffe is specially good at showing how a real person actually feels throughout all those challenging moments. Overwhelmed, confused, intense. In some movies he gets to do it in a serious way. In this one, he does it in a mix of serious and funny. Again, great range there. His "wtf" face is just up there. At a first glance, one may not SEE him as Weird Al. But when you give it a chance, it's clear they NAILED it. This movie is a treat for both newcomers and those who know Weird Al from way back. The over the top, silly, absurd, witty brand of humor he does, just never gets old. Whether Weird Al is new to you, or you pretty much expected such a level of crazy. It's one of my favorite kinds of humor, and I guess it shows xD I certainly expect a lot of surprised people out there, seeing as there's surely a generational gap since Weird Al is an '80s thing first. And Radcliffe attracts mostly younger people, even though the Potter phenomenon trascends generations. But I bet most of the newcomers got to enjoy it. In any case, it's a flick for everyone to have fun. You can totally see it in the cast, and they transmit it smoothly to the audience.

Al is such a talented writer. The stuff he comes out with is both bonkers and brilliant! Word crimes is a current fave.

Not a big fan of biopics but growing up with Weird Al’s music makes it a must see movie for me.

One more minute with you. Hilarious parody of a genre and beautifully composed original at once.

Some of the nicest people in showbiz all in a room together

How does Daniel stay so humble and grounded when sitting on all that $$$? Hats off to such a cool dude.

Thank you for making me smile this hard. All three of these people.

This interview was so much fun. Al and Daniel seem to be the nicest people in their industries. I hope this does amazingly

This interview is so wholesome I love it. Best energy

I never imagined I'd be excited about a Weird Al biopic but here I am.

8:50 I never heard "Bob" before but now I must look it up. "Weird" Al's "White and Nerdy" and "It's All About the Pentiums, Baby" showcase just how good a rapper he is. I'm not even joking. It's amazing.

I will never forget when he opened for the Monkees back in 87, I was at the concert in Houston and Al comes down from the stage and starts walking through and seranading the crowd. He came over and was standing about three feet from me. I don't know if he saw or made eye contact with me, but seconds later, a bunch of screaming girls take after him, and in seconds, he runs down to the base of the level, jumps over the metal railing, lands on his feet in the level below and runs to the stage, barely getting away from the girls, who, if had caught him would have probably torn him apart. Needless to say, I have been a fan of his ever since.

one time I danced with Weird Al while he was playing a show. Childhood me was so happy.

Sounds exactly like the type of comedy I love most! 😄

I heard him for the first time after Smells Like Nirvana came out and I've been listening to his music ever since. I brought my kids to his concert when they were two and three years old, and they still listen to him now.

Daniel Radcliffe’s performance in this movie is underrated. As Al mentions, it’s brilliant because it’s such a ridiculous role and zany story, but he plays it completely straight and he really commits!

There's no one else like Al. But good for Daniel!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Al twice and he was just such a genuine, down-to-earth person. He deserves all the good things that come to him! I'm really looking forward to seeing the film.

I'm so looking forward to seeing this movie! UHF has long been a favorite of mine, I trust Al with film, music, anything he touches turns to gold.

Met him back in the late 80s on the Vegas strip. I was with my friend Joe Castle, and we were attending the NAMM show, and we met outside the convention just walking around. We chatted, but since we were outside, we had nothing for him to sign and it was way before cellphones. He was a terrific guy, and rather tall. Since then, I've seen him a couple of times touring. He's just the best. And his full on Accordion solos are fantastic!

Weird Al is a gift from the heavens. His talent and unique sound is unparalleled. And I must add the same goes for Daniel.

Daniel Radcliffe is really a wonderful actor who really makes bold acting choices. Can’t wait to watch this.

The return of true deadpan comedy... Who knew Daniel and Al would be the Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen of our generation...

I like how Weird Al played the critic to his own art in exactly the same way that Huey Lewis did in Back to the Future.

I love that Daniel Radcliff is playing weird Al, such great casting. They are both super special men.

Brilliant and Foil from Weird Al is truly amazing
