Alfred Matthew “Weird Al” Yankovic is well-known as an American singer, musician, songwriter, record producer, actor, and author. He is best known for creating comedy songs that make light of pop culture and often parody specific songs by contemporary musicians.
Yankovic also performs original songs that are style pastiches of the work of other acts and polka medleys of several popular songs, most of which feature his trademark accordion.
Why was the Weird Al show Cancelled?
The Weird AI show was canceled after one season. Yankovic and the others on the team acknowledged that CBS did not find that the show followed the formulaic pattern set by Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and coupled with difficulties in keeping the show in check, opted to cancel it.
Yankovic and others on the production found in retrospect that working on the show was far too stressful and not the vision of what they wanted it to be; for the show’s DVD commentary, much of the commentary ended up being directed at the issues they had with CBS in producing the show.
