Today's lesson: "When faced with a challenge, try your best and don't be afraid to seek good advice."
Weird Al is holding a talent show, but the ice sculpture of Marvin the Sea Bass, which was to be the grand prize, has melted. That doesn't stop Al from pressuring Cousin Corky to compete in the show. But Corky doesn't believe she has any talent. Plenty of Al's other friends are eager to compete, though. The Hooded Avenger makes a tiny ice sculpture of his own. Madame Judy does impressions of Rosanne Barr, Barbra Streisand and Elvis Presley. The guy Al boarded up in the wall does a stand-up act. Bobby the Inquisitive Boy becomes Bobby the Dancing Boy. Al's mom plays the banjo while balancing plates on her head. Then the teenage R&B group Immature shows up. Meanwhile, Al gives an inept performance on the pilot episode of "The Flintstones."
What's on Al TV? A game show contestant is forced to spin the wheel over and over. "Celebrity Close-up" gets too close to Clint Eastwood. An anchorman promises to show the five shiny objects in his coat pocket. A weather girl gets carried away with her pointer.
Danielle Weeks as Cousin Corky gets the spotlight in this episode, and she does such a good job that we wish she had a bigger role in the series as a whole. Al's mom is played by his real-life mom, Mary Yankovic, and she gives the kind of performance you'd expect from someone's mom.
