    How the fuck could he host it after Madonna murdered him on stage in the 80’s!?
    Does no one remember that?

        It was part of the completely true documentary of his life. The guy who played the late Mr Yankovic seems pretty good. He might have a future in the biz, if only he could find a role in a kids’ fantasy movie.

        I think they’re referring to the documentary with Daniel Radcliffe playing him (but I never saw it so I can’t be certain). Apparently Weird Al said they could just write whatever story they wanted about his life or something like that and seemingly they ran with that.

        I generally like Weird Al and his works, but I don’t really get that … Joke? Seems like it makes the “documentary” pretty pointless.

          It’s literally a parody of biopics, which now that I think about it is the perfect way to make a Weird Al biopic.

          Also based off a funnyordie video a few years ago with Aaron Paul as Weird Al.
