Weird Al Yankovic Shares He Has Never Been Asked to be on SNL, But Would Like to Host: “I Wonder, ‘Why I Haven’t Done That Yet?’”

Excerpt:

“Andy actually called me up before the show and said, ‘Hey, man, I’m doing an impression of you, and I hope it’s— I’m like ‘Yeah, it’s fine, whatever you want to do.’”

Samberg, who is longtime friends with the legendary comedian and parody music artist, portrayed him in a 2012 Saturday Night Live sketch.

Yankovic also admitted that while he’s never been asked to be on Saturday Night Live, he would jump at the chance to host. “I wonder, ‘Why I haven’t done that yet?’ and that’s one of them,” he said. “But you know it, you know it still may happen. Who knows?”

As for whether he’d host or be a musical guest, Yankovic has a preference. “I think I’d rather be a host than be a musical guest, because if you host, you have more permission to mess up,” he explained to PEOPLE. “And as a musical guest if you get one note wrong, you’re a failure.”
