Description

“Weird Al” Yankovic, Grammy and Emmy Award-winning comedy music legend, talks to Ronny Chieng before heading out on his “Bigger and Weirder 2026” tour. The two look back on Yankovic’s decades-spanning career, from learning the accordion at his parents' behest, to becoming the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history with a discography that functions as a time capsule of pop culture. He also discusses his songwriting process for parodies and pastiches of musical style, why he likes getting an artist’s permission before touching their song, the challenges of parodying in 2026, and his personal quest to make polka sexy again. #DailyShow #WeirdAlYankovic #Comedy #Music Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Ronnie did 1,000,000% better than I would in this legend’s presence. But still it’s awesome seeing basically him say “My name is Ronnie, and I’m an Al-aholic.”

Stingy old man here: just to clarify, Al never "samples" anything from the original songs. He and his bandmates learn and transcribe everything from scratch. HUUUUUGE difference.
