“Weird Al” and Tony Hale
“Weird Al” Yankovic has parodied generations of pop stars — and outlasted most of them. Now he’s scored his first Billboard #1 with Mandatory Fun. He plays his first hit, “Eat It,” live, mashing up Michael Jackson and Eric Clapton. Kurt talks with actor Tony Hale, who name playing desperately co-dependent man-children on Arrested Development and now on Veep. And a live performance from tUnE-yArDs.
