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.

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 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.

I saw Weird Al back in the 80's and it was the most amazing show! At one point, he came out on stage hopping on one foot with the other foot behind his head all while he played the accordion. Genius!

Such a humble man, what a treasure.

The phrase "national treasure" was invented for Weird Al.

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

He must be a vampire. The man doesn't age.

It's great seeing my two favourite people together. Conan is there too.

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.
