Weird Al Yankovic Sure Had a Whole Lot of Famous People at His Radio City Show

Damn, Weird Al Yankovic knows a whole lot of famous people. Last night at his Radio City Music Hall stop in New York City, Weird Al welcomed out a gaggle of funny people and posed for a photo with them all backstage including Hamilton‘s Lin Manuel Miranda, Tina Fey, former SNL-er Taran Kilam, Michael Ian Black and a whole lot more. 

If that wasn’t enough, Weird Al brought the Hamilton mastermind to the stage for “Yoda,” his ode to the Star Wars supernatural munchkin set to the tune of The Kinks’ “Lola.” The collaboration may seem odd, but Miranda has actually previously called Weird Al one of his heroes, inviting the musician backstage to participate in one of their “Ham 4 Ham” videos. 

I guess you could say Miranda didn’t….throw…away…his shot. I’ll see myself out.
