Pauly Shore

He may have ditched his long, curly mane and rockin’ forehead bandana, but that doesn’t mean The Weasel ain’t The Weasel. The son of Mitzi Shore, founder of the famed The Comedy Store in Hollywood, Pauly’s star burned bright in the late ’80s and early ’90s. He was an MTV host who churned out big Cineplex hits like Encino Man and Son In Law, endearing the world to terms like “weezing the juice.” These days, Shore is less of a marquee draw, moving between stand-up gigs, cameos on Entourage, and writing and directing films like Adopted, a mockumentary skewering the trendiness of celebrity adoptions.
