The history of Weird Al and ponies has been a long and winding one, dating back all the way to 2011 when the first evidence of Al being interested in ponies began to emerge. It all started with tweets by Weird Al regarding the PMV that included many of his popular songs called Pony Polka back in April 2011.
From there there was much speculation and excitement about Weird Al starring in ponies, especially since Al had done roles in other Hasbro shows before. Things began to heat up as he made more pony references and culminated in one of the director's of MLP asking Al directly if he'd like a role in the show.
For years things were rather silent until news of Cheese Sandwich hit the rumor mill and the rest you can say is history.
Check on after the break as we explore the history of Weird Al's involvement with the show and how he eventually got on the show!
