Just think about it. A cooking show where the host never actually cooks, and instead relates his experiences of eating at restaurants, techniques for keeping leftovers fresh and his choice of beverage. Only three visible people working behind the cameras, with the director being part of the alien conspiracy and having no problem unmasking in front of the other two. And the way the [=MIBs=] showed up in under a minute. The more likely explanation is that Al's character had been investigating conspiracies for a long time, but the existing conspiracy wasn't certain how seriously he took it or how far he would go. So they did research on him, discovered his passion for gourmet, and offered him a relevant show that they completely staged to see if he was likely to blurt out his findings the moment he believed he had a widespread public audience. He did, so they silenced him for good. The cameras weren't even rolling.

Note that these songs both appear on ''Running With Scissors'' and that the term "hermaphrodite" does not appear elsewhere in Al's oeuvre.

It ''is'' the very first thing he does when he gets the opportunity. Maybe he makes all his money hitchhiking across the US with tourists, gaining their trust, and stealing their expensive cameras in order to sell them to pawn shops for cash.

He already has "Yoda" and "The Saga Begins" which recaps the events of Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack and Film/ThePhantomMenace respectively. It would be extremely surprising if he were to pass up an opportunity to make a parody song for Episode VII/VIII/IX.

This one is somewhat implied in the song. They are constantly arguing. She asks him where his wallet is, and he dodges the question. She possibly suspects him of cheating. He is possibly cheating. She sounds suspicious when the lady at the window asks if he is Paul. She might suspect that Paul is an alias he uses to pick up women.
