"We Weird Al" Yankovic returned to the Tiny Desk with an expanded, electrified band for a performance highlighting his parody and pastiche talents. The set featured "The Saga Begins," "eBay," "Skipper Dan," and "Now You Know," drawing from across his extensive catalog spanning decades of comedic music. NPR's Stephen Thompson praised the now-72-year-old entertainer as a should-be Rock and Roll Hall of Famer with an arsenal of songs to draw upon. The article also humorously noted that fans hope Yankovic returns for another Tiny Desk performance in 2042, this time potentially with a string section.
