"Weird Al" Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time. A five-time
Grammy winner, his 2014 release Mandatory Fun was the first comedy album in history to
debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200. He is one of only three artists to have had their own Top 40
singles in each of the last four decades, the other two being Michael Jackson and Madonna. On
August 27, 2018 the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce awarded Weird Al with a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Emo Philips has performed over 7000 stand-up comedy shows across the globe, including a
two-week theater run in London’s West End. Career highlights include his acclaimed comedy
album E=MO Squared and the hour-long HBO special Emo Philips Live at the Hasty Pudding
Theatre. Emo is especially proud, however, of when he got to demonstrate the proper use of a
table saw to Weird Al in the film The Vidiot From UHF.
