Al on Circus of the Stars in 1993
I just saw a clip of Weird Al on Circus of the Stars in 1993, and I was just wondering: does anybody here know whether or not the sway pole act he did was real? If it was, it was amazing.
We're gonna yodel like it's 1999!

It was real. And there's already a topic for this. I'd look for it, but the current April Fools Day joke on the forum makes it near impossible to find.

Yep, it's real. In fact, there was a Ask Al question about it a long time ago.
Tony Goldmark of San Francisco, CA asks: When I watched your sway pole act on "Circus Of The Stars" with my grandpa, he said that wasn't really you, it was a stunt man. (Because most of the scenes in which they actually showed your face looked like they COULD have been shot in some dark room). Is he right? Is he going senile? Did you really risk your life on that sway pole? WHAT?
That was not trick photography, I really was hanging off a sway pole 55 feet in the air without a safety net. My manager says if he gets any more offers for me to be on Circus Of The Stars, he’s not going to tell me about them.

I showed the video to my sister, and it took a long time to convince her it was real.
