"Weird Al" Yankovic fears bursting into flames!

"Weird Al" Yankovic chats with Kevin Nealon as they hike through a Los Angeles canyon. Weird Al muses about how he got the name 'Weird,' his accordions, miniature golf, identity theft, his upcoming 'Strings Attached Tour,' traveling, swearing cowboys, his hair, Dr. Demento giving him his first break, meeting Michael Jackson, doing impressions, getting physicals, stealing a rake, reading labels, remembering passwords, proper mid-evil battle etiquette, getting recognized, his Hawaiian shirts, excitedly sleeping plus more....

[@MrLextune]

"Do you get recognized a lot?" "Ummm...Only when I leave the house." "Oh, your wife doesn't recognize you?" This is gold on a number of levels.

[@schizogony]

"Are you touring right now?" "No, I'm talking with you right now."

[@zippitydodaday6037]

I like him as a person, but not "his" songs. I suppose i may need to give it a try again some day. I hated "eat it". He got my respect for honoring Prince after his death to not betray him to record the song Prince refused.... Meanwhile Princes family betrayed him big time with commercials etc. That says a lot about a person.

Probably join the crips if he wanted....

[@RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

Weird Al still looks great!!! Can't believe he's kept the weight off since "Eat It"....

[@gabe_s_videos]

Rumor has it that when he watched himself perform in the "Fat" video, he was so repulsed by it that he said he promised himself he'd never, ever get fat. He's also a vegetarian.

[@montanamade8712]

Sad fact- he gains the weight back during every concert, but he runs around so much, it’s all gone by the end! Reality tho, I have never seen so many costume changes as he does during a show- flat out amazing!

[@miss.understood9817]

I absolutely LOVE the questions Kevin asks, they are often silly but asked seriously and its such a unique interview style and cuz its questions they have never been asked likely or often even thought of you get a really organic response. No one has refused to answer or go down the "path" he is on. Its so fricken' cool! Kevin would be amazing as a late night talk show, he brings the out the most interesting parts of ppls personality and experiences. This is the best show on KZbin so lets share it !!

[@Rob-dp3vr]

And it beats the cliche crap questions hosts usually ask them. Who is your inspiration? How did you feel when you won an oscar? What was it like working with the director? Zzzzzzzz Kevin's questions are more human and numerous. As if they are old friends with no cameras on, joking with each other.

[@rabooey]

Same here! Really imaginative and fun questions/interviews. Many of the questions are intentional setups for punchlines, but Nealon is of course crazy quick on-the-fly, too. In this way he gets to play both the "set up" or "straight" man and the "comic" at the same time, while also allowing his quest the chance to play both roles too due to the interview format. It really shows when he has a guest that's as quick-minded and witty as he is, such as Weird Al. Their riffing was fantastic! I would love to see a collaborative production!

[@deletedleaf2688]

I’m afraid the vibe would be off in a studio, this format works really well.

[@Fractured676]

I love the questions, but almost equally, I hate the non-answers we get. I'm positive they actually answer the question, it just gets cut. I'd love to know most of those answers, and we only got a couple actually answered. Was the same for the Conan show.

[@archaeoprof5150]

Someone MUST write all these questions down and publish them. They are SO good.

[@davidmiller1101]

billiondollardan "Since the last one." Well said...

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Weird Al has had the same band and manager for over 40 years. _THAT_ in itself tells you so much. He is also Mensa-level intelligent (unlike me!) And he has been able to remain at least somewhat relevant in all that time, I guess mainly because he parodies music as *IT* changes through the years and also because he tours SO MUCH. And also because he is a genuinely nice guy to his bandmates and to his fans.

[@Burger_pants]

did you get the squeeze-box? it has all of his albums on vinyl (some for the first time) an exclusive b-sides and rarities album and an awesome art-book full of pictures his band-mate kept over 40 years.

[@deletedleaf2688]

I could tell how smart he is watching this interview but I didn’t know he was Mensa, or any of the rest you said, thanks.

[@Chalor.]

I haven't been this excited for a guest. Weird Al is a goddamn national treasure. Seen them in concert last year and it was amazing. They waited around and sat on their tour bus steps to meet every person that wanted to get their autograph and say hello. I mean, I've never come across that before.

[@BackyardHiker]

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy...Here it comes!!! Hahaha. So Funny! Thanks Kevin

[@joshm9058]

I have always loved "Weird Al" Yankovic. He seems like such a good guy.

[@exheads]

Weird Al was one of the best concerts I have ever seen in my life, family had a great time.

[@jeffw1267]

I saw him in 1985 and it was THE best concert I ever saw.

[@Jackiedyk]

Me too!! I've seen him 3 times and going twice this year!!

[@SandraDodd]

I've seen lots of concerts, since the 1960's, and for years when people asked, I would say the best concert I ever saw was Crosby, Stills and Nash. I saw them again, and then those were the first and second best. Now, I've seen Weird Al twice, and those two concerts unseat the CSN(&Y, second time) concerts, although those were nearly flawless. Weird Al, I say. And I saw him in Albuquerque when they did an extra eight-song encore, and did "Albuquerque" at the end of several songs (some very short, some just humorous false starts, to add to the tension and build-up).

[@WSallai]

First concert my kids got to see and they loved him. Ex-wife even begrudgingly liked him a lot. I got to see him again once again on my own, and to this day the greatest high-energy performer and only person that had more costume changes than Diana Ross.

[@gg5115]

@@SandraDodd In the 80's Crosby Stills and Nash did a show at Mud Island in Memphis, worst concert I've ever seen. They were arguing and mad at each other and at one point they were playing different songs out of stubbornness. The whole audience was going, is this real life? Part of the problem may have been that they followed Chicago, and I have never seen a place rocked like Chicago did that night. So best and worst shows, back to back in the same night.

[@anyviolet]

Weird Al's funny and a genius, but I really like the two serious lessons coming out of his career: 1. If you at all can, do what you love for your work - it'll make for a happy life (he learned that from his dad, he says) 2. Make a point of being nice to everyone, and treat others well consistently. People like your bandmates and manager will still be with you after 40 years.

[@emosongsandreadalongs]

Why did I not know that Hiking with Kevin was a thing. This was a brilliant interview

[@KMayflower]

I just realized that it's not just the questions that are asked (which I love the randomness of) but rather that it's not so rushed. Late night now does all of these skits and it's more about the host than the guests. The guest barely gets a chance to talk about 1 subject and then it's time to go.. You never get to know these things that people would consider too mundane for late night TV! I think this is the new Late Night... "Day Time with Kevin Nealon"!!!!!!!!!
