"Weird Al" Yankovic is the king of parody songs, with a multi-decade career that includes four Grammys, countless Top 40 hits, and a long list of live shows, including 2019's Strings Attached Tour. But how is he with spicy food? Find out as the "White & Nerdy" icon takes on the vegan wings of death in a very special Hot Ones season finale. As the Scovilles mount, Weird Al shares classic anecdotes about meeting Sir Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, getting co-signed by Kurt Cobain, and inventing the infamous Twinkie wiener sandwich.

Special thanks to Mr. Yankovic's groomer, Sean James!

Weird Al definitely needs to be a Super Bowl Half Time performer. Bring on some artist he’s parodied to perform along side him. That would be the best concert ever

Al was biting the wing like squidward bit his first krabby patty

His bites remind me of that SpongeBob episode where squidward takes a bite out of the krabby patty 😆 🤣

The amount of songs I can only remember as the Weird Al version and never the originals is no joke. This guy is amazing.

I’ve always been impressed at how down to earth and unassuming Weird Al is. The dude has basically been an American cultural institution for 30 years and still acts like like he’s just happy to be there. I admire that type of humility.

Sometimes I forget this man's first name isn't weird.

Al is the only man that can take the smallest bites on this show and still get massive respect... and honestly I kinda love it

Weird Al helped me get through my childhood. I was raised in an apocalypse cult, and they were super strict about music, movies, any media really. Because Weird Al was funny and didn't swear, i was allowed to listen to his music. He helped me stay aware of both cultural attitudes and trends through the content of his music, and brought modern music into my home so that i knew what the music others were listening to sounded like. It made me laugh and made me feel less alone. Thank you, Weird Al.

It's kind of upsetting to hear that people associated his music with a lot of the profane and racist parodies of songs that have been made. Al's parodies have always been unique in that they were never vulgar or overtly offensive. It was good, clean comedy that still managed to be hilarious. Al is a legend.

Weird Al: takes tiny bites me: EAT IT! JUST EAT IT! OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH AND FEED IT!

Weird Al genuinely seems like a sweetheart of a person.

Such a smart thinking funny guy, no one else has come close to his ability to parody a artist and song and somehow craft a better product. I can only imagine the artists who said no to Mr Yankovic are regretting their decisions to be under his comic spell.

I seen him live in 2006. He changed costumes about 25 times during the show, and hit some of the most phenomenal notes I've ever heard. Weird Al is a proper artist with Incredible talent. Plus his interviews with Madonna, Eminem, and K Fed slaughter me.

I'm surprised the Da Bomb wing didn't actually explode with him trying to split an atom off it.

When Weird Al exclaimed humorously "I thought we were friends!" After biting into the Medusa wing, I felt I was taken back to UHF Weird AL. What a way to end a season of Hot Ones.
@k.burton3473 1 year ago

The way that Al smiles and looks at Sean, because he's REALLY listening and is interested (ala 11:29) makes me feel happy and smile too. Al is just great to everybody.

HOW IS AL STILL SUCH A PURE SOUL?!? PROTECT HIM AT ALL COST!
@seancollins3106 8 months ago

I was working at a restaurant about 15 years ago and Al's group came in when they were in town. He was really quiet and let the group have fun. He was EXREMELY nice to us/staff. getting to meet a childhood hero like him, and have him be a cool as he was, is still one of the coolest experiences of my life!!
