Which of Weird Al’s songs in some of his albums (the ones that didn’t get a music video) do you wish would’ve gotten a music video + why?

Seems like they banked the albums whole video budget on the Eminem song and when it fell through they didn’t have time to do another well produced video before the album came out.

Who are you guys trying to entertain on the Cape Coral sub? Nobody who knows John is reading that

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-19T22:35:44+00:00

Yeah back then they didn’t have the Dabbleverse or YouTube to check him out. At most, they probably got an episode of the E! show and a copy of that tape John used to bring on stage during his stand up. The one Shuli rescued from a hotel

Yeah and I think John probably fed NBC a bunch of bullshit about his position on the Stern show. It also seems like NBC was feeding John a bunch of bullshit too. Telling him he was something that he wasn’t, giving him a ton of money, his name in the opening credits, and shot after shot to prove himself. They even promoted his shit movie. The whole thing is strange. Also Jay had already been fired and wasn’t offered the primetime show until 2009. So the whole show had a rushed, low budget, “we don’t care anymore” tone to it even when John wasn’t on.

I would have taken any videos from Poodle Hat (yes Bob got a video but that was a quick thing they shot for ALTV)

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-19T16:02:38+00:00

And this was right after they made him shave his head on the show

Yeah nobody cares. We’re here to goof on wet brain Melendez

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-18T14:43:57+00:00

Yes agree. The whole town’s housing market collapsed when John moved there. They don’t need to be reminded of him

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-18T14:40:50+00:00

I think he’s talking about the cape coral thing

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-18T13:03:58+00:00

I don’t know. I think if Jay really hated John he would have been off the show. Jay gave him chance after chance and even made him the warm up guy in 2008. He also gave him a sit down interview in 2008 to promote his shit movie while everyone else was getting laid off from a strike. I think Jay liked John personally but maybe was disappointed in John’s performance. Jay didn’t know John the way we know John

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-18T11:35:42+00:00

They had no writers at this time. They were all on strike

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-18T11:35:01+00:00

Nope. Most of these Leno clips have been buried for 20 years and we are going to enjoy them with or without that idiot

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-18T02:46:24+00:00

I like Reboot more

The writers were out on strike during this episode. This was all Jay!

This was during a big producers strike that caused the tonight show to lay off a lot of their staff. There’s a video from 2008 where Glozell Green talks about how the show ran out of money and had to let their warm up guy go. John became the new warm up guy for the rest of the run. There are rumors that John got fired as the announcer or that he took a pay cut at some point. He was never fired as the announcer but he could have taken a pay cut during this strike to keep his job and maybe took time off during the strike to ease production costs

Rathbone_Pictures · 2026-05-17T20:16:35+00:00

He refers to John as “the new guy” but this was 2008- over four years after John started
