(Al 2K) – Running with Scissors; December 4, 1999; two hours Al TV #9 – Poodle Hat; June 17, 2003; one hour Al TV #10 – Straight Outta Lynwood; December 15, 2006; one hour In addition, Yankovic appeared as a guest VJ on MTV on February 22, 1984, using much the same format he would later use on Al TV. Canadian spinoff: Al Music A similar installment of shows hosted by Yankovic were broadcast in Canada, under the name Al Music, which aired on Canada's MuchMusic network to concurrently promote the release of 3 of his albums in the 1990's. Similar to Al TV, Al Music also featured Yankovic commandeering the network broadcast, but this was achieved by visiting MuchMusic's studio unannounced, forcibly removing the scheduled VJ on-air & replacing them with himself in order to show the videos that he wanted to watch. He also incorporated the same parodying of the music station format through fake interviews with celebrities, comments on the latest music news, letters from fans, airing music videos strewn with Yankovic voice-overs making wisecracks and humorous observational comments about their content, and bizarre non-sequiturs that were incorporated in Al TV.
