“Weird Al” Yankovic - “Bigger and Weirder 2026” Tour | The Daily Show

“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
