To celebrate the “Weird Al” Yankovic epic biopic release worldwide, let’s watch some Weird Al clips. From the vault in the famous Maynard International Studios in Australia, Maynard will showcase some of his favourite Weird Al material.
Tim Ferguson will also throw some easy Weird Al questions at you, and we screen Maynard’s previously unseen interview with Al during his first tour of Australia in 2003. (He didn’t do any shows during his 1990 UHF promotional visit.)
Weird Al and Maynard first met in 1990 at Flinders Street Railway Station on Al’s 30th birthday for Maynard’s Triple J breakfast show. Below is the scene shortly after Maynard rubbed Al’s birthday cake over himself.
PS He gave Al a second one as pictured!

Weird Al Yankovic played the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Saturday night to a packed crowd of chanting Weird Al fans. I got in the middle of them and found out that Al is more loved, by more people, of all ages than ever.
The dress code for the night was loud and the headgear; tinfoil.
Thanks to everyone for allowing me to accost them with my microphone, and to the man himself Al.
The Weird Al Yankovic show at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Saturday night was a blast. My favourite as always was the polka medley, but Smells Like Nirvana was a crowd favourite. I’m working on the more than 30 interviews I did with the fans at the show for the next Planet Maynard podcast. Unfortunately I didn’t get to talk to Al, but if I can get an interview with him for the show I will. Enjoy Al onstage from Saturday

Weird Al Yankovic toured Australia for the first time in 2003. Maynard first met Al on a promotional tour to Australia in 1989, for his movie UHF. Maynard caught up with Al again backstage at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. Polka time people!
Weird Al Yankovic is touring Australia again in January, see you there.I’ll be recording interviews with fans and perhaps Al himself at the Sydney show. So if you see me, come say “polka” and get on Planet Maynard.
