I just read through the awesomely long list of credits on the Internet Movie Database for TUVC, and nobody was credited as Fred Mertz in the Ricky video. Nick Yankovic was credited on I Lost On Jeopardy and Amish Paradise. To me the Fred actor doesn't look a thing like Nick.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Nope. Actually, I found this answer in the Midnight Star also.
Click here to read the answer from a Trivia Quiz published on the 5th page in the January-February 1996 issue of the Midnight Star.
Surprised?

PS: Oh, yes! About the girlfriend story surrounding OMM? -- Look at the same page I scanned for the 27 Story [from page 6 of the July 1993 [Volume 1, Issue 3] edition of the Midnight Star. If you read further down, at the end of the page, Bermuda gives the details of her story too!

My copy of TUVC came the EXACT day I got UHF on DVD (saturday!) so I noticed this little gem: In the AP video, Al churns the butter faster when the woman comes by! WOW. It's almost the same as the microphone gag in OMM!
