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.

      He’s one of the only celebrities that I feel like has stood the test of time and not been revealed as a shitty person

        the only other person in hollywood i would put on the same level is jack black (que people telling me bad stuff about jack i didn’t know about before.) P. much everyone else there or from there I don’t care about or think are garbage people.

            I’m also a fan of JB (and Tenacious D for that matter). I heard of this. While I don’t love it ant I don’t agree, I can see it from the perspective of “don’t call for violence for anyone”.

              Yah, wasn’t going to engage with this cuz too many psychos on here have this view and I didn’t want to set off the 10th one today, guess he wasn’t one of them. Jack black is a child friendly actor, it’s not surprising to have seen him do that. It would have damage his carrier over another’s joke and he said he was waiting to start the band back up later.
