Weird Al Yankovic Shares He Has Never Been Asked to be on SNL, But Would Like to Host: “I Wonder, ‘Why I Haven’t Done That Yet?’”

Andy Samberg wanted Weird Al's blessing before tackling his iconic character on Saturday Night Live.

Samberg, who is longtime friends with the legendary comedian and parody music artist, portrayed him in a 2012 Saturday Night Live sketch. Also in attendance was Jamie Lee Curtis, Kaley Cuoco, Colin Hanks, Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney, Sky and Mark Hoppus, and Demi Lovato, who performed a medley of her hits. While Yankovic was at the Children's Hospital Gala, Samberg brought back his comedy music group The Lonely Island after six years for a sketch on SNL.
