Three New Video Clips!

Al and his imaginary friend Gilbert GottfriedThree new video clips have just been added to the Al-oholics Anonymous video library. All three are from The Weird Al Show. The first is a personal favorite of the staff at Al-oholics Anonymous. Perhaps you can figure out why. Then there’s two small commercials from the show (without Al in them) added in just as well. They’re good for a laugh.

Don’t forget that the “interview” between Weird Al and Eminem was posted not too long ago.

Starting the day off with music is a NASA tradition for vehicles and crew in space.

Last year for the release of the Grammy winning album, Poodle Hat, Al did one of his signature ‘interviews’ with Eminem when he took over the airwaves of Vh-1 and turned it into AlTv. Well, now you can relive the hilarious and introspective moments of that interview. Just go to the Video Page at Al-oholics Anonymous and you’ll see the interview at the bottom. Hopefully, more clips will come soon.
