According to the book's new preview page, Al's guest list will be "The 27 all-time coolest Don Martin sound effects."

The Amazon page for the Inventory book has a "Search inside this book" function. If you click there, search for Yankovic and go to page 180, you can see his list without having to buy the whole book.

I'm writing my conference paper for my film history course this semester on parody in Mel Brooks movies, and for homework this week I'm reading A Theory Of Parody by Linda Hutcheon. Lo and behold, Al is mentioned on page four of the introduction when the book says, "From Tony Kushner to Weird Al Yankovic, satirists continue to use the pointed and effective doubling of parody's voices as a vehicle to unmask the duplicates of modern society."
