Cement Weird Al Yankovic's Stardom

About Me

Your help is needed to honor the musical parody genius, Mr. Alfred Matthew Yankovic, aka Weird Al. Weird Al has been making us laugh for more than 25 years. Over the course of his long and successful career, he has released 12 full-length comedy music albums, been honored with 3 Grammy Awards and 9 Grammy nominations, and received more than 20 gold and platinum album certifications in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. He has appeared in numerous television specials and written and starred in his own full length feature film, "UHF," and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

But there's still one accomplishment Al hasn't achieved yet -- a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So, let's give Al the star treatment! It’s time people took Weird Al seriously and started walking all over him.

The mission of the Weird Al Star Fund is to solicit, collect, and raise the necessary money, and to compile the information needed for the application to nominate "Weird Al" Yankovic for a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

The Weird Al Star Fund is administered by volunteer fans and supporters of "Weird Al" Yankovic, and all funds collected will be used for the application fee that will be paid to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce upon acceptance of Weird Al's nomination. Donations to the Star Fund are not tax-deductible.
