Better known to his fans - or at least, those fans he still has - as 'The Weasel,' Pauly Shore was everywhere in the 1990s. He'd transcended stand-up comedy to reach movie-star levels of fame. After that, he seemed to vanish overnight. It was as if the world had woken up one morning and decided that his act was tired, his jokes were lazy and cliched, and on closer inspection, he just wasn't very funny after all. A damaging article in 'Vice' by one of his former interns, which painted him as a monster, sealed the deal in terms of him becoming disliked.
There are some signs that the intern may have been over-the-top with their criticism, though. Shore has done extensive charity work to support the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Beyond that, he remains committed to touring and performing for his fans, even though TV cameras aren't following his every move anymore. More than anything else, Shore just wants to make people laugh.
