What happens when you put the Comedy Bang! Bang! host and the Mandatory Fun artist in the same room together? In a laugh-out-loud email conversation, Scott Aukerman and "Weird Al" Yankovic dish on that time one of them met Prince, Pee-Wee-Herman, and superhero culture.

According to The Thread, Aukerman and Yankovic discuss their love/hate relationships with their pets. The musical satirist mentions a time when he could have formed a supergroup featuring himself, Pee-wee Herman, and Prince. The comedic duo even pokes fun at the time when they met the President of the United States.

Yankovic remembers, "I believe Pee-wee Herman and I met in 1984 at the big Hollywood premiere of Prince's movie Purple Rain. I still think that Prince, Pee-wee, and I would have made quite the supergroup...but no matter how much Prince begged, Pee-wee just wasn't into it. I hear Prince still carries a grudge about it. "

Aukerman could have had a different career if it wasn't for Phil Jimenez, acclaimed Wonder Woman artist, stating, "I was the best artist in my elementary and then junior high school, and anytime anyone needed any art for anything, I was the dude they came to. But then, when I got to high school, there was another guy who went there who was a better comic book artist. Everyone went to him to draw things, and no one paid any attention to me anymore. So I quit, and started doing drama.That guy turned out to be Phil Jimenez-one of the best comic artists out there right now.

As we previously mentioned, Yankovic tweeted, "Childhood dream achieved: I am going to be MAD Magazine's first-ever guest editor (issue #533)!"

The White & Nerdy singer posted a snapshot of himself, blackening his teeth Resembling the Alfred E. Neuman mascot. Weird Al's editorial duties include writing an introduction to the issue, bringing in his celebrity friends to contribute to the Fund"AL"ini Pages, and picking his favorite MAD article for the Vault section.
