Across his utterly singular career, Weird Al Yankovic has won five Grammys, had six platinum records, and completely shattered the chart ceiling for popular accordion music. This week sees the release of the iconic parody-songster’s satirical biopic, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. It stars none other than Daniel Radcliff as Al, with Evan Rachel Wood playing Madonna, and Rainn Wilson as Dr. Demento.
Al recently joined host Elia Einhorn from his tour bus to discuss memorializing his storied career in the film; the connection between comedy music and the charts in 2022; what his relationship with Madonna's really like; and which of his many successes and accomplishments has meant the most to him.
