Ahead of a Syracuse, New York, stop on his “Bigger & Weirder” tour, Yankovic revealed to Syracuse.com in an interview published this week that he was offered “a nice pile of money” to appear in a commercial for business-focused software, but he backed out once he realized the ad would involve AI. “I’m not a fan of AI,” he said.
He also turned down a $5 million offer to do a beer commercial in the 1980s because he didn’t want to promote alcohol to his fans. This guy is a legend.
