Jimmy Fallon is unveiling a new installment of his popular “Classroom Instruments” series on The Tonight Show on Monday night (Nov. 7), this time featuring “Weird Al” Yankovic.
In a 30-second preview before the episode airs in full, premiering exclusively on Billboard, the talk show host, the parody king and The Roots are seen performing a medley of “Weird Al” hits on classroom instruments. The group is seen delivering a special rendition of “I Love Rocky Road,” “My Bologna” and “Yoda.”

He’s a huge nerd, just like me, and I knew that he would just really lock into the tone that we were going for in this movie, which is so important.”
