The more adult-oriented cartoon "King of the Hill" recently had a line
in it regarding Weird Al Yankovic (sp?) having killed himself a couple
of years back. I don't remember such a thing happening. Is he still
alive?

Actually, I believe they referred to him as "Weird Al Yankovich;" Weird Al
Yankovic is alive and well and still doing projects for MTV as well as his
musical career...

Weird Al apparently works in TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA
often. He comes on MUCH TV ( CITY TV) often with new
material.--

I beg to differ. Weird Al's Saturday morning show at 11:00 eastern on
CBS is cutting edge.

Unless I was schmoozing with a corpse not too long ago, Al's alive.
A very weird, funny and sweet guy.

Not to be true, Mr Johnse! Weird Al is to be very much alive and
enjoying royalties from to sale of previous songs! Is not true!

Weird Al was the only show I saw advertised where the act was the actual
act, not a tribute to or recreation of. Oh, no, wait ... that was Yakov
Smirnov. Nevermind. No idea about Weird Al.
