Yankovic to Comedy Central

Prepare to polka your eyes out: Comedy Central is set to distribute a concert film of "Weird Al" Yankovic's latest tour. " 'Weird Al' Yankovic Live! -- The Alocalypse Tour" will preem on Saturday, Oct. 1, with the net distributing an extended cut of the show on DVD and Blu-ray (via Paramount Home Entertainment) and download-to-own platforms on Oct. 4. "Alocalypse" is Yankovic's first studio album since 2006's "Straight Outta Lynwood." One cut off the novelty-song writer's new album, "Perform This Way," caused a stir when Yankovic was initially denied permission to parody the Lady Gaga track by a rep for the pop star. The spat was resolved amicably, and the song has been one of Yankovic's most popular. Contact Sam Thielman at sam.thielman@variety.com
