3. Weird Al Yankovic

Parodist Weird Al was raised as an only child in Lynwood, California. He was an adept student who began kindergarten a year early and skipped second grade. “My classmates seemed to think I was some kind of rocket scientist so I was labeled a nerd early on.” Yankovic attended Lynwood High School where he was a member of the National Forensic League, the yearbook committee, and the Volcano Worshippers club. Weird Al graduated in 1975 as the valedictorian of his senior class. He later attended California Polytechnic State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture.
