Ahead of a Syracuse, New York, stop on his “Bigger & Weirder” tour, Yankovic revealed to Syracuse.com in an interview published this week that he was offered “a nice pile of money” to appear in a commercial for business-focused software, but he backed out once he realized the ad would involve AI. “I’m not a fan of AI,” he said.

      I watched to 2022 movie “Weird: The AL Yankovic Story” It was crap, it would have been much better off as an honest biography.

          A few years ago I saw an interview with Emo Phillips and he held up a royalty check he’d just gotten in the mail for his appearance in that movie. It was for $1.37 or some such. He called UHF “the gift that keeps on giving”.

        Weird. I watched that same movie and it wasn’t crap. It was brilliant and entertaining.

        An honest biography would be worth watching, but infinitely more boring.
