What the Hell Happened to Pauly Shore?


https://lebeauleblog.com/2018/02/27/what-the-hell-happened-to-pauly-shore/

Pauly Shore was never a movie star, but for a short time in the nineties, he managed to headline a modestly budgeted comedy annually. Although he had deep roots in the comedy club scene, Shore was more of a personality than a comedian. He didn’t make observations or tell jokes per se, but Shore did manage to create a character that made him more famous than he had any right to be. It won’t surprise anyone, except perhaps Pauly Shore, that he wasn’t able to coast on his slacker-bro image in definitely. After several years of semi-stardom, Shore’s fans abandoned him and he was left wondering…

What the hell happened?

He's a wooden boy now.

The only thing astounding about Shore's story is that this many folks are perplexed by the career trajectories of him, Dustin Diamond, etc etc. Are we really shocked to learn that these folks didn't ascend to great heights?

" Shore’s fans abandoned him" erm you mean they grew up.

Always thought he could have made a good go doing voice work in cartoons with his silly way of talking. That's what Howie Mandel did for years when his brief movie career crash and burned. He hung on in the industry by his fingernails until he eventually became relevant again. (looks up wiki) I guess he did finally start doing just that.

seeing him on Joe Rogan was a sad sight to see. he looks very depressed and stuck in the past. childless old man that dresses like a lesbian woman from the 1960s

WTF Happened to PAULY SHORE?

There was a time in the mid-nineties when Pauly Shore was a very big deal. Rising to fame as a VJ on MTV, he parlayed his alter-ego “The Weasel” into unlikely big-screen stardom. His first movie, Encino Man, introduced the world to Brendan Fraser as a caveman, and Shore was such a hit in it that he got his own solo comedy Son in Law (opposite a young Carla Gugino), which was a money-maker. His follow-up, IN the Army Now, also made money, but that would be the end of Shore’s short-lived reign as a star. His next two movies, Jury Duty and Bio-Dome, would be flops, and a TV show, Pauly, would be cancelled after five episodes. Clearly, Shore’s reign at the top was short-lived.

Yet, there’s still something very likeable about “The Weasel,” mainly because Shore has always had a sense of humour about his place in pop culture. While he’s no longer a household name, most people who grew up in a particular era still hold a lot of affection for Shore, and in this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity, we look at his rise to fame, his fall, and where he is now.
