Watch “Weird Al” Yankovic Chat With Stephen Colbert & Perform “Word Crimes”

Last night, two comedy legends came face-to-face, as "Weird Al" Yankovic, still promoting his two-year-old album Mandatory Fun, was a guest on the Late Show Wit Stephen Colbert. Yankovic did perform on the show, singing his grammar-nerd Robin Thicke parody "Word Crimes" while wearing a Thicke-esque suit and hopping up on Colbert's desk. But he and Colbert also sat down for a lovely conversation, discussing things like Yankovic's ability to stay on top of musical trends and his devotion to the accordion. Watch the performance and the interview below.
