"Weird Al" Yankovic returns to NPR's Tiny Desk after 16 years

"Weird Al" Yankovic performed at NPR's Tiny Desk on August 20, 2026, his first appearance since 2010. He brought his eight-member "Bigger and Weirder" band and left his accordion behind. The four-song set mixed parodies and originals, opening with "Skipper Dan" and closing with "The Saga Begins." Yankovic's last studio album remains 2014's Mandatory Fun.
