Weird Al did the famous person’s equivalent of what we all do alone in our apartments Monday night when he added words to some of TV’s most well-known theme songs in an epic medley during The 2014 Emmy Awards.
From “Mad Men” to “Scandal” to “Game Of Thrones,” the Billboard-topping parody artist left no popular show unparodied — the best satire being “Game Of Thrones,” which featured Andy Samberg as King Joffrey and a very sporting cameo by George R.R. Martin, whom Al entreated, “Type, George! Type was fast as you can! We need more scripts!” Samberg then handed the famously meticulous writer a massive typewriter.
We second that assertion. Get that ribbon running, RR!
