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.
Kurt wasn’t sure about allowing the parody because he was worried it would be about food, but when Al reassured him it was about how Nirvana’s lyrics were unintelligible he laughed and allowed it.
Thank you! I loved Weird Al’s facial expression when he conveyed that story.
