Legendary comedian, actor, and podcaster Pauly Shore has been a household name since the 90s when
his MTV show Totally Pauly ran for six years. The fan favorite series led to an HBO comedy special and
starring roles in cult classic films, Jury Duty, Bio-Dome, and Encino Man. Shore most recently starred in
Lionsgate's raunchy comedy film Guest House. Other recent projects include Adam Sandler's Sandy
Wexler, Dreamworks’ Pinocchio: A True Story, and the indie feature How it Ends starring Whitney
Cummings, Olivia Wilde, and Nick Kroll.
October 2023, Shore will launch his new late-night variety style show, The Jam in the Van Show hosted
by Pauly Shore. The show will bring Pauly back to his MTV roots, with guests from the worlds of
entertainment, music, and social media colliding weekly. Celebrities from Corey Feldman to beloved
influencers, The Old Gays, will be thrown into a blender with Pauly, his comedian co-hosts, and a musical
guest, to create one of the wackiest web shows of all time.
Over the years, Pauly has produced and starred in several of his own projects, including the
mockumentary Pauly Shore is Dead, featuring a host of star-studded cameos from Pamela Anderson to
Eminem, Ben Stiller, and Paris Hilton. Pauly has also starred in several Showtime comedy specials
including Vegas is My Oyster, with Andy Dick, Tom Green, and Bobby Lee, and Pauly-Tics, featuring
Larry King.
His 2014 documentary, Pauly Shore Stands Alone , that followed his tour through cold and obscure
Wisconsin towns, won Best Documentary at the Downtown LA Film Festival and an American Cinema
Editors Award for Best Documentary. Shore is currently working on a new documentary of his life
spanning the 70s, 80s, and 90s, along with a memoir entitled How'd You Expect Me to Turn Out.
Along with comedy and acting, Pauly has built a dedicated music following through his band, Pauly Shore
and The Crustys. Their long-awaited first LP, Pauly Shore and the Crustys - Crustopolis Vol. 1. was
released in 2023. In 2017, Pauly expanded into podcasting with the Pauly Shore Podcast Show, and
later, Pauly Shore’s Random Rants, with his guests including Judd Apatow and Bob Saget.
In recent months, Pauly’s vibrant online fanbase has issued calls for the actor to take on the role of
beloved fitness guru, Richard Simmons. Inspired by memes, an undeniable resemblance, and Pauly’s
own Sweating With the Wiez' Instagram series, this biopic-in-the-making is one to watch.
You can next see Pauly in the documentary, I Wanna Open for Pauly Shore: a satirical take on American
Idol that follows five up-and-coming comics vying for a chance to open for Pauly as he headlines in
Appleton, Wisconsin. Filmed live in LA, the cast includes Don Barris (Jimmy Kimmel) and Vicki Barbolak
(America's Got Talent) as hosts and judges of the competition.
Pauly is currently on tour across the US performing a pair of unique comedy shows. His traditional and
beloved Pauly Shore stand-up, and an autobiographical one-man show entitled Stick with the Dancing:
Funny Stories From my Childhood. Back home in Los Angeles, Pauly has just launched a new series
