To everybody that's congratulating me right now on my new Kid Rock parody video, let me clarify - that's not me. That's actually Kid Rock.

Big thanks to the Library of Congress for loaning me Grover Cleveland’s accordion for the last month of my tour. 🪗

Humble beginnings: Did you know that prior to his career-defining role as “Weird Al” Yankovic, actor Daniel Radcliffe appeared in a number of movies about a boy wizard, in which he played the title character? #MovieTrivia

I am profoundly sad to hear that after 67 years, MAD Magazine is ceasing publication. I can’t begin to describe the impact it had on me as a young kid – it’s pretty much the reason I turned out weird. Goodbye to one of the all-time greatest American institutions. #ThanksMAD

The time has finally come… On Aug. 27 at 11:30 AM I’ll be getting my very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (6914 Hollywood Blvd., right across the street from the Chinese Theatre). The ceremony is FREE and open to the public, so come on down!!

Devastated to hear of the passing of my dear, dear friend, the lovely Miss Judy Tenuta. I can’t believe she’s gone. Earth has truly lost a goddess.

I realize this doesn’t make me any different from 80% of the people currently living in Los Angeles, but I just finished writing a screenplay and I’m pretty excited about it.

RIP Little Richard - the architect of rock ‘n’ roll, an extremely cool guy and a formidable Wheel of Fortune contestant

#StrangerThings3 is the best season yet, and not just because Mr. Clarke is listening to “My Bologna” in episode 2 and Dustin is wearing a Weird Al T-shirt in episode 3. (Wait, no, that’s EXACTLY why.)

Just got back from dropping off my only child at college for her freshman year. Sorry, this is the most recent picture I could find of her.

Imagine. She's got her Avengers candy bag. She's dressed up as The Wasp for Halloween, escorted by her father, Paul Rudd, who played Ant-Man, in the actual blockbuster film, Ant-Man and the Wasp. But he's decided to go as Weird Al Yankovic

Roku's working on it. In the meantime there's VPN (Very Probably No) way to watch it legally. I'm sure you have a TORRENT of other questions, but I have to move along, sorry.

Yes, I know there are a lot of horrible things going on in the world right now, but can we all just stop and take a moment to appreciate the fact that they’re finally coming out with an accordion emoji??

With everything going on in the world right now, I figured it was the perfect time to upload this version of the "Fat" video with all the music stripped out.

Okay, you guys, I’m giving you a heads-up, but I still want you to act all surprised and everything when MY NEW SINGLE DROPS ON FRIDAY.

Some of you might not be aware of this, but when you vote, they give you a FREE STICKER. Not even kidding, they JUST GIVE IT TO YOU. You’d have to be a real IDIOT not to take advantage of this. Just sayin’.

There are MANY reasons why I wanted to cast Daniel Radcliffe in my movie, but this is what really clinched the deal for me. (He’s going to absolutely kill this.)

So… I’ve got COVID. Don’t worry, I’m fine - I’m vaxxed and double-boosted and the symptoms are very mild. But of course this means I unfortunately need to cancel the next couple dates on my tour (Saginaw & Detroit). I’m deeply sorry - we will reschedule those shows ASAP.

Today my album Bad Hair Day was officially certified Double Platinum by the RIAA, 23 years after its release. Going to the DMV right now to change my drivers' license to read: Multi-Platinum Recording Artist Al Yankovic.

Found it! Here's the note that Michael Jackson slipped under my door back in 1989 when we were both recording our albums at the same studio.

Streaming services typically don’t like to share data, but based on the online reaction I can only assume that EVERY SINGLE LIVING PERSON ON EARTH has now watched the movie. Over 8 billion views - that’s gotta be some kind of record!! Thanks, everybody! #WEIRDTheAlYankovicStory
