It might sound funny that Weird Al Yankovic is a part of XM's "Artist Confidential Series," but Funny is Weird Al's business, and he's the best at what he does. Since his first song parody hit the airwaves in 1979, Weird Al Yankovic has sold over 12 million albums, making him the 1 selling comedy act in history - he even had a top 10 hit with his last album [Straight Outta Lynwood]. Everybody has a favorite Weird Al song, whether it's poking fun of Michael Jackson or Madonna, a polka send-up of 15 hit songs in a 3-minute medley, or something completely original. Along the way, his music has earned 3 Grammys, he's written and starred in a major film, he's directed music videos for other stars, and has performed live non-stop for a few decades. Join us for a candid conversation with a guy who knows something about funny business - Weird Al Yankovic, on "Artist Confidential."
