Weird Al Yankovic Becomes First Guest Editor of Mad Magazine

2015 Grammy winner, comedian, and pop culture giant “Weird Al” Yankovic announced via Twitter today that he will be the first-ever guest editor of MAD Magazine in its 533rd issue, which hits newsstands April 21. Weird Al will write an introduction to the issue, contribute (along with some celebrity friends) to the Fund”AL”ini Pages, and pick his favorite MAD article for the Vault section.

MAD Magazine confirmed the tweet in a blog post. “Idiot-in-Chief” John Ficarra said, “Al will surely ruin his nearly four decades of popularity by associating with MAD. I still can’t believe we talked him into it!”

“It was my childhood dream to one day be a contributor to MAD Magazine,” said Weird Al. “This is an excellent example of why children are never allowed to make important decisions.”
