Years ago a co-worker of mine had me transfer a bunch of home movies from "back in the day". (She's the daughter of an Emmy winning cinematographer and worked in the biz in LA for a long time.) As I went through them, there was FREAKING WEIRD AL and her and a couple friends just chillin' on a living room floor all casual and wholesome! So, can confirm, he's exactly as advertised.
More than 40 years with the same band and manager and no drama. That's a guy with a good head on his shoulders. I can never quite wrap my head around his hair though. Do I hate it? Do I like it? Has he thought of trying something else with it? I don't know. But I'm a big fan regardless.
What I noticed about this interview is that Weird Al is just as quick witted and can keep pace with Conan when it comes to the quips . Funny people are smart people.
People who are funny on purpose are smart. Dumb people are almost always only funny by accident. You have to watch them longer to see the funny stuff. The older I get, the more I appreciate Al. My nieces and nephews can all quote the UHF move because I made them all watch it.
Without a doubt, the funniest people I know are always the most intelligent. Even if it took my dumbass awhile to catch up. Weird Al is off-the-charts brilliant.
As Homer Simpson once said "He who is tired of weird Al is tired of life".Weird Al was the very 1st concert I ever saw in 1999 and seen him 6 times after that. His shows are amazing he does so many costume changes for each song or s video to go with it.
If it ever came out that Al had been seriously abusive in any way I would lose all faith in humanity for ever. Luckily, he really, really seems like the real deal and one of the nicest guys on the planet.
This is such a surreal looking group. Weird Al looks younger now than he did 40 years ago, Conan has looked exactly the same since the 90's, and Andy's aged into a total babe magnet.
You had me until the Andy thing 😂 At least where I live, "babes" don't find whiny, overly political obese men attractive. Maybe we just run in different circles 😅
A little more in-depth here, Weird Al's father is ethnically Serbian and his mother is Italian. Both those countries are famous for their accordion players. Italy makes some of the best and most expensive accordions around. So despite being American, as we all are living here in this country, his ancestral roots played a role in saying hey, perhaps we'll have the kid play the accordion I'm sure. That said I friggin love his music and just him as a person. May God grant him many years!
I got to meet Al, at an book signing, a few years back. He was so genuine and kind! 🥰 He even got up from his seat a few times to hug people that must have had some touching stories.
Imagine walking up to Conan to pitch an idea only to get beat up by his 2 guards, while he looms over offering sarcastic commentary on your demise. Damn, I think I just discovered a kink.
Not only is Weird Al super intelligent and a mega talented force to be reckoned with at writing parody songs, he, along with his band members, are exceptional musicians, as well! Love all three of these guys..great clip! Thanks Coco!
He's such a force, that other musicians use him as a measurement for success of their own careers. Many have said that "you know you've made it when Weird Al parodies one of your songs" non-sarcastically.
@@lyianx yep, Chamillionaire actually went on record saying that and that he was honored Al parodied "Ridin Dirty" with "White and Nerdy". Also, even though he doesn't need permission to parody their songs, he asks out of respect for them.
We need more celebrities like Al.... Genuine down to earth and seemingly just happy to be around. His was the first concert I've ever went to when I was 8 in 1997.
I worked at a concert venue for a few years in the early 2000s. Weird Al played a fantastic show there, and I got to meet him afterwards. He was easily the most down to earth, kind, approachable and polite celebrity I have ever met. Awesome guy, and a great musician/performer!
“Orgy with a crayon box” “Because we’re allowed to now” Conan was on FIRE!! I wonder if it was having Weird Al there and that comedian thing of wanting to impress each other
Saw my first Weird Al Concert Melbourne Australia, bought my husband first row tickets cause he loved him, I had no idea who Weird Al was but OMG after seeing him live , I turned to my husband saying I need a cigarette after that concert well to put a long story short we loved Weird Al that night 🌙
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN! and have listened to his music for 30 years! There is just something about his wacky personality and sense of humor that is INFECTIOUS! I have NEVER met a single person that has EVER said they don't Enjoy some Weird Al!!!!!
I have come to appreciate him though I haven't seen him much since he lost his spot to Leno years ago. It is always a turn-off when a host starts taking a political position. That is almost always the end of me watching them. I haven't seen Conan do that but maybe that's because I haven't been watching.

People shouldn't be trying to feed him ideas for songs. The dude is wildly successful in parodying songs, he doesn't need 'our' help in coming up with ideas.
He used to play a video clip at his concerts while he sang "I kissed a girl." Katie Perry kisses a girl, then she kisses Al. Then Russell Brand punches Al.

INCREDIBLE suit, 100%
This comment was made by weird Al himself! 😂😂Jk. He seems to be a great dude
I was going to say the exact same thing! Took the words out of my mouth.
What I noticed about this interview is that Weird Al is just as quick witted and can keep pace with Conan when it comes to the quips . Funny people are smart people.

Those are the best Conan interviews, those who can keep up or sometimes OUTWIT Conan. Not the boring celebrities that make him roll his eyes.
He skipped like 2 grades or something in school so it's no doubt he's smart, possibly genius level IQ.
@@MandrakeMoorglade He graduated valedictorian at 16. Only skipped one grade, but his parents sent him to school one year earlier

Same here! Weird Al @ Westbury Theater, Long Island 1999! I wrote AL on my forehead lol good times
Almost the same here! Weird Al in Hamilton, Ontario Canada 1999! Was my 2nd concert though
He was my first concert in 99 as well! I saw him in Portsmouth virginia. Saw him again 15 years later in Newport News, virginia.
My first concert was Pantera in 1992. I don't know what that says about me. I've always liked Weird Al though.
How can anyone not love Weird Al?
By being wrong.
He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life
You don't know him, he might be a terrible person off tv. Maybe he steps on kittens for fun.
@@Christian-rn1ur Don't know you either.
Because he took my girlfriend, Michelle, tied her to a chair, shaved off all her hair, and left her in the desert all alone.
Notice how a guy named "weird al" has gone through his career without ever being accused of weird behaviour or sexuell harassment. He is so polite!!
All his weirdness has been on full display. It's goofy weird, though, not creepy weird.
If it ever came out that Al had been seriously abusive in any way I would lose all faith in humanity for ever.
Luckily, he really, really seems like the real deal and one of the nicest guys on the planet.
Maybe that's the weird part of him, the fact that he hasn't had any controversy.
@@SodapopKevin He has very carefully avoided controversy for about 40 years now. Would be a great mentor to have for any young up and coming musician.
@@justinmillard8196 except for that stupid one over his Hawaiian shirts.
This is such a surreal looking group. Weird Al looks younger now than he did 40 years ago, Conan has looked exactly the same since the 90's, and Andy's aged into a total babe magnet.
Do you mean literal babies who mistake him for one? No hate here, just FYI
You had me until the Andy thing 😂 At least where I live, "babes" don't find whiny, overly political obese men attractive. Maybe we just run in different circles 😅
If Andy wasn't married the dude would be banging every kind of babe
@@HomestarCrawler wow you seem kinda douchey
@@sloodgamer147 So the guy who pushes his political opinion on others is good, but the one who doesn't like people who do that is bad. Ok 😂

Imagine reading his name in Serbian! #Јанковић / #Janković
Everybody knows the most famous accordeon maker, Antonio Stradivari
Nimble fingers & ears like Fort Knox
I thought Al's dad, like their non-relative Frankie Yankovic, was of Slovenian ancestry.
Al seems like such a pure and humble guy. Gotta love him.
I got to meet Al, at an book signing, a few years back. He was so genuine and kind! 🥰 He even got up from his seat a few times to hug people that must have had some touching stories.
Like the old swedish saying goes: "The definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play accordion, but politely doesn't"
I've heard that one attributed to Tom Waits. Whoever said it = words of truth 😁
Unless you're Weird Al. 🎹
the definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play accordion, but politely doesn't
@@KRUSH-R Yep. We read the comment, too
"weird" Al is 61 years old and has never asked to be called just "Al". He is an American treasure!
This man is the only constant in the rollercoaster that is my life.

Absolutely. It’s not easy to be that versatile at that high a level.

he's being modest as usual, his wife is absolutely a babe

I sent him a fan letter in the early 90s. I'm glad he kept it so long
The accordion is a babe magnet in Mexican culture, just ask Ramon Ayala lol
Preach
Fr fr fam
Lol, exactly what I was thinking 😂
Colombian culture aswell lol
Yes!!! But his phenomenal Spanish crooning probably doesn’t hurt things either lol
What I always loved about Yankovic is what a normal guy he really is. He doesn't come off anywhere near as weird as his name suggests!
The great and all powerful, Weird AL!
Al is that guy that takes depression out of life.
Weird Al is the chick magnet himself
“Orgy with a crayon box”
“Because we’re allowed to now”
Conan was on FIRE!! I wonder if it was having Weird Al there and that comedian thing of wanting to impress each other

Judging by the cigarette it sounds like Wierd Al loved you, too.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN! and have listened to his music for 30 years!
There is just something about his wacky personality and sense of humor that is INFECTIOUS! I have NEVER met a single person that has EVER said they don't Enjoy some Weird Al!!!!!
A parody of Meat Loaf: I'd Eat Anything For Lunch (But I Won't Eat That)
Honestly that would have been fantastic for the Bad Hair Day album
That`s actually a very fun idea
When you're tired of Weird All you're tired of life.
Weird Al is awesome. He's a real treasure.
Everytime I see Weird Al,One song comes in mind.. The Saga Begins...
My my this here Anakin guy!
for me it is 'Amish Paradise'...
@@michaelaramis1210 maybe Vader someday later but now he is just a small fry... Hilarious. 🤣
@@sksaddrakk5183 Both in the Running with Scissors album...
The only good thing that came from the Phantom Menace.
It's not that he's a great accordion player. He's an outstanding musician, full stop. In most cases, far better than people he's parodied.
Such a humble man, what a treasure.
Conan is the best, most natural interviewer of all time
I have come to appreciate him though I haven't seen him much since he lost his spot to Leno years ago. It is always a turn-off when a host starts taking a political position. That is almost always the end of me watching them. I haven't seen Conan do that but maybe that's because I haven't been watching.
The nerd chemistry here is just *kisses fingers*
I can't even listen to American Pie without singing Weird Als version.
"lets not mention ukraine" hasn't aged very well..
2:26 I can't tell if that aged badly or aged very well.
lmao yeah i had to double check the date of this episode and see if it came back on air
I feel like the responses aged quite badly, but the initial comment is great
I had to check the date
I was like is he letting I l l u m i n a t t i Secrets Slip?
@@_chickenhead Me too
He tossed out my fan letter from when I was a kid!!!! Monster!!
no no no he kept _yours_
The phrase "national treasure" was invented for Weird Al.
"Don't mention Ukraine" lmao in May 2022
It's great seeing my two favourite people together. Conan is there too.
He should have had all the fan mail scanned and made digit.
Agreed, but still, I see no real reason to get rid of it.

He must be a vampire. The man doesn't age.
Love watching his "Tacky" video. It's a great lift me up.
2:20 didn't age very well at first, but after a couple of seconds Conan made it age like wine
Would absolutely love to just hang out with Al for one day! He's awesome!
Phyllis Diller is not timely...says the man who did a whole song about Charles Nelson Reilly. Which was AWESOME!
The accordion may not be a babe magnet, but Al has a lovely wife. It only had to work once.
The chemistry between Conan and Al... I'm here for it.
*Al doesn't need an accordion to be a babe magnet...*
His concerts are the best.
Weird Al is what Nicholas Cage was really trying to steal in "National Treasure"
and his hair style is what he was going for in Con Air
People shouldn't be trying to feed him ideas for songs. The dude is wildly successful in parodying songs, he doesn't need 'our' help in coming up with ideas.
Always loved Al.
I've not seen Al much outside of his music but he seems like a really nice guy
the way he tilts his head while listening makes him look like russell brand even more. granted the long hair helps.
The way Russell Brand tips his head makes him look an awful lot like Weird Al. You see Weird Al came first.
He used to play a video clip at his concerts while he sang "I kissed a girl." Katie Perry kisses a girl, then she kisses Al. Then Russell Brand punches Al.
Conan really gave me Steve Martin vibes in this interview, the way he quietly snuck in lines. Great stuff.
Wierd Al is like a normal Russell Brand
yeah It’s like Russell Brand is a weird Weird Al
When I hear any song that he’s parodied, I’m disappointed that it’s not his version.
I could watch these 2 talk all day. Gotta be 2 of the most naturally funny people alive.
I had a Meet and Greet with Al after his concert in Brussels, Belgium.
On my channel are a few clips of the concert.
If Al and Conan traded jobs, they'd both succeed
Dr Demento 70-80's. Best radio of my life. Always loved Weird Al.
Momma's got a squeeze box. Daddy doesn't sleep at night!
Have you seen his version of the song? Not to be missed!
Two of my all time favorite humans hamming it up. 10/10
I’m telling’ y’all it’s rabbitage!
I still have his albums on cassette 🤘
I have his albums on parchment.
Only Al could rock that suit.
The GOAT himself! Weird AL!!!
Seriously I need that suit
I know Daniel Radcliffe is playing Weird Al, but Weird Al should play Frank Zappa.
1. He hasnot aged one day.
2. I want that fan mail so badly and I can’t believe he just threw it all away!
Awesome suit!! Grew up with Weird AL,hes so cool and never let getting big go to his head!!!!
Conan and Al interacting with regular people without a script should be a show.
Al is such a likable guy.

WTF dude is 61! Looks 20 years younger than Conan...
Hearing Weird Al laugh gives me the laughs! Damn that suit jacket is fire! 🤘😄🐼🎨📼💾
Weird Al was the first CD I ever bought when I was a little kid. I still love his music.
As someone who plays the accordion, I can attest to this.
Weird Al is the most entertaining Musical Geniuses eva. Will never forget the first Weird Al concert I eva saw
If you haven't seen him live you are definitely missing out lol
i love weird al thank you so so much for being such a big part of my childhood and growing up. keep the music weird.
Love that suit, lol!
Weird Al is at the exact midpoint between Stephen Colbert and Bruce Campbell.
2:50 Al's parents have my sense of humor.
And now they’re gonna make a movie about him. With Daniel Radcliffe
Two very funny guys.
i wanted Al to cover Mitski's Washing Machine Heart. there's a banging synth solo or two that i'm dying to hear played on either accordion or pipe organ. also, a slight tone shift would highlight how silly the idea of a Washing Machine Heart is. also, Mitski is relevant XD
Oh...but I would LOVE "DILLER" lmfao
And wait a minute Al,...you did CNR....and only some of us know who *he* is
