"Weird Al" Yankovic!

Weird Al Yankovic is one of the most influential musical artists, even if he is primarily known for parodying other highly influential artists.
I don't remember when I first heard his music, or which one, but it must have been very early on in my life. Probably April Fool's Day...
Weird Al has put out several albums that each reflect the music of that particular period of time, parodying the hits on the radio.
It's possible it takes him so long to make each album because he needs time to react to whatever musical movement is going on.
He also released the film "UHF" which combines cartoonish Naked Gun style humor with my love of broadcasting technology.
He's made cameos in other films like Naked Gun, and had a comic book seen in Disney Adventures Magazine, and beyond.
You can also play the trivia game "You Don't Know Al" online, itself a parody of "You Don't Know Jack".
