Take my favorite musician/recording artist ever and add in my favorite movie of 2014 and you have a recipe for greatness. “Weird Al” Yankovic has teamed up with Oscar contender for Best Picture, Whiplash, to promote his upcoming world tour “Mandatory.” Whiplash is the story of a drum prodigy tested by his abusive jazz conductor college professor played by Oscar nominee J.K. Simmons. In Weird Al Gets Whiplashed, a video produced by College Humor, Weird Al stands in for Miles Teller’s character Andrew, while his patented accordion replaces the drums. The performer is excited for his upcoming world tour and is trying to get “perfect” with the help of Simmons’ Fletcher. While Simmons’s scenes from the film remain perfectly intact, this hilarious 4-plus minutes video has Weird Al voicing to Simmons what most viewers of the film wanted to yell at the screen.

Neil Patrick Harris visited Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday night and of course it was almost all about the Oscars. Harris declared himself “Knee deep in Oscar prep,” to which Kimmel immediately quipped, “Have you started working on the show yet?”

See the video here below.

Harris said it was going “yeah-ish,” because what is difficult about hosting the last yet biggest awards show is that all the other award show hosts got all the good jokes. Harris hoped that a big scandal would break so there would be some juicy material to talk about. “Maybe you can get caught not being gay or something like that,” suggests Kimmel. “But I tried that in Gone Girl and we know how that ended up,” says Harris with the return.
