Weezer Tapes 'Hard Times' Cameo

L.A. band will be featured in performance on MTV teen comedy's second season airing next summer.

Considering that Weezer named their latest album Hurley after a character from Lost and set one of their early videos -- for the 1994 hit "Buddy Holly" -- in Happy Days' Al's Diner, it should come as little surprise that the band likes to tune in to primetime. Now comes word from MTV News that the band was on a Hollywood soundstage earlier this week to film a cameo appearance for the second season of MTV's single-camera comedy The Hard Times of RJ Berger. The TV gig, however, didn't require much in the way of acting.
