Al TV is a show created by singer-songwriter "Weird Al" Yankovic. The premise of the show is that Yankovic uses his pirate satellite transmitter to commandeer the airwaves of a music video station in order to show the videos that he wants to watch. In addition to playing videos, he also holds fake interviews with celebrities, comments on the latest music news, takes letters from fans, or shares recipes, all with a humorous twist. A similar show has been broadcast in Canada, under the name Al Music.

The questions and answers are often of a silly nature, or they often mock his interviewees. The following is a comprehensive list of his fake interviews to date:
