You sure about this, Google?

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

Aww, you guys!! Thanks so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes. And special thanks to the great Stan Kelly for gifting me with my very own Kelly cartoon!

There are still tickets available for the big L.A. wildfire relief benefit show at the United Theater on Broadway tomorrow night. Here I am at soundcheck with Paul Shaffer and Al Jardine - the lineup for this thing is absolutely INSANE. Hope to see you there!

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

I did NOT approve this.

From now on, Will Forte and I are just gonna be a Chappell Roan cover band.

My MSG show will be MUCH funnier.

I’m thrilled to make an appearance in the latest episode of “SpongeBob SquarePants” (I play I.M. Poster, the pirate who sings the slightly altered theme song in “Bizarro Bottom”)!

Because the curly-haired legend “brought more people to music than is recognized at all.”

A number of Oscar-worthy movies were released this year, but only ONE features Amy Adams singing “Dare to Be Stupid”! Nightbitch is now streaming on Hulu.

Thanks, Las Vegas!

Like the rest of the world, I'm still reeling from the loss of Brian Wilson, a true musical genius. I was beyond honored to play accordion on a Brian Wilson track (never officially released) a few years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Mr...
