2012 GRAMMY® NOMINEE “WEIRD AL” YANKOVIC PERFORMS “TMZ” FOR FIRST TIME IN LATE-NIGHT TELEVISION, THURSDAY, FEB. 9, ON “THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON”

Musician and parodist “Weird Al” Yankovic will visit THE LATE LATE SHOW with CRAIG FERGUSON to perform the song “TMZ” off his GRAMMY® Award-nominated album, “Alpocalypse,” Thursday, Feb. 9 (12:37-1:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
