Everything you know about ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic is wrong. Comedians Tom Lennon and R Ben Garant joined Al’s road crew to make some cash after Comedy Central canceled their TV show, “Reno 911.” After only a few days on tour, they’re already here to tell all.

Throughout this four-part series, Tom and R lay down the truth the mainstream media doesn’t want you to hear. For example, Dr. Demento is not a real Doctor.

Featured songs include “Yoda,” “Another One Rides the Bus, “Like a Surgeon” and more from THE ESSENTIAL ‘WEIRD AL’ YANKOVIC two-disc set in stores now from Legacy Recordings.
