Pauly Shore's Interested Podcast

Ep #19 -Brian Wilson is the man. Not Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson the pitcher with the dope ass beard. I sat down with him in his palacious estate and talked baseball, sports, and steroids. I thought it would be appropriate to have Fortune Feimster comment because she loves baseball and steroids as well. And she loves chicks more than me and Brian Wilson. Take me out to the ballgame brroozzz.

Ep #18 -I head back to D.C. on this one guys - thats Washington D.C. I got introduced to the political backdrop when I did Pauly~tics a few years ago. I was also introduced to a nice fellow named Grover Norquist, who's an American political advocate and Founder/President of Americans for Tax Reform. Grover was nice enough to let me record with him at his apartment in Washington. He's a fun guy, and we actually realized he does stand-up comedy as well. Pretty crazy. I thought it was appropriate that I got commentary from Argus Hamilton, who's been doing political comedy for many years at the Comedy Store. I like this episode, and I hope you guys do too. Sit back and enjoy a little Paulytics brrrozzzz.

Ep #17 -Yo, I hope you guys are music fans because that's what we get into in this weeks episode of Interested. I sit down with the great manager Larry Rudolph, who manages Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Steven Tyler, to name a few. I met Larry several years ago, and have been good friends ever since. I was very happy he let me sit down with him and tell me what it was like when he first met Miley and Britney. Once I did the podcast, Larry suggested that I possibly use the great Randy Jackson from American Idol. I thought it would be interesting to hear what Randy had to say about Larry's take on the music industry.

Ep #16 - I'm super, super, superduper excited about this weeks episode of my podcast, Interested. Why? Because I'm interviewing the beautiful, lovely and extraordinary, Miss Whitney Cummings. Who is one of the hottest female comedians out today. I met Whitney several years ago when she had a small part on my reality show entitled Minding The Store. She played a girl that I was trying to hump. Her agent was really pushing her on me at the time and I remember her from then...she's come so far and she's doing so well. I thought it was appropriate that I had Chris D'Elia to comment on this particular episode because Chris and Whitney, if you can remember, starred in Whitney's sitcom that lasted for a while entitled Whitney. Chris played Whitney's boyfriend. They are also super, super best friends. So sit back, listen and enjoy this weeks episode of my podcast, Interested. It's Whitney Cummings and Chris D'Elia on the comments and the subject is sitcoms.

I'm super excited about this week's episode because we're going back to my classic movie, Son in Law.  I sit down with Peter Lenkov, one of the producers and writers.  He was also the executive producer of 24 and created the most recent Hawaii Five-0.  Peter has been a dear friend of mine for years and I'm super proud of all the things he accomplished in the business.  He's a hard worker and he gets shit done.

I'm super, super honored and excited because my agent at WME, Adam Venit, does the commentary on Peter's interview.  Adam Venit is such a super star agent in his own right, representing such talents as Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Sylvester Stallone, and many, many others, including myself.  Adam and I listened to Peter's interview in his office at WME in Beverly Hills.  We all talked about how we started working together and how Son in Law came about.  We also discuss in length my new documentary, Pauly Shore Stands Alone.  So sit back and enjoy the inside of the in

I sit down with one of the best living comics, Chris Rock. A legend for his comedy specials
and his show on HBO, movies like "Pootie Tang" and "Grown Ups". Chris talks about living
in the Sopranos house, Eddie Murphy around the corner, what it was like coming up in comedy and his new flick "Top 5".

Commentary on this episode is the one one and only Tommy "Cat" Davidson of break-out sketch comedy show, "In Living Color". He shares what it was like starting out with Rock, how Mitzi knows best and showing up for gigs wearing two different shoes.

Pauly interviews an old friend and fellow comedian Bobby Lee. Commenting on the interview are comedians Ian Edwards and Ari Shaffir.

Bobby Lee is known for his residency on MadTV and from roles in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, The Dictator, Pineapple Express, and more recently a few episodes of FX's The League.

Ari Shaffir wrote and starred in 2013's InAPPropriate Comedy, and hosts the popular podcast Skeptic Tank. His new comedy special will air on Comedy Central in 2015.

Ian Edwards, along with the others, is a Comedy Store regular, has been featured in several Comedy specials, and has written for numerous comedy shorts, specials, and television shows.

Pauly interviews author and senior congressional correspondent for the Huffington Post, Ryan Grim, whom you may recognize from MSNBC.

Commenting on this interview is Ari Shaffir, comedian and host of the Skeptic Tank podcast. He has known Pauly for years, as a regular at the Comedy Store, and soon can be seen on his hour long special he just recorded for Comedy Central.

Pauly interviews Kitty Bruce, the daughter of comedian Lenny Bruce.
Commenting on the interview is Pauly's long time friend, comedian and host of the WTF Podcast, Marc Maron.

In this episode I interview the very funny Blue Collar Comic, Larry the Cable Guy. He is commonly connected with his stereotypical redneck appearance, thick Southern accent, and trademark catch phrase, "Git-R-Done".

Commenting on this interview is Carrot Top. What most people don't know that links these two together is that they both started doing stand-up at the same time in Florida. His act can be seen in his Las Vegas show at the Luxor Hotel.

This is part 1 of a two-part episode. Part 2 will be available next Wednesday 11/5/14.

Joan Dangerfield is the widow of Rodney Dangerfield; one of the most famous comedians of all time. We talk Rodney, their marriage, and her experiences with him. She was married to Rodney from 1993 until he passed in October 2004 of complications from a surgery he received earlier that year.

Andrew "Dice" Clay, another infamous stand-up comic, comments on the interview. Dice got his break on Rodney's 1988 stand-up comedy special "Nothing Goes Right", which led him to his first HBO special. Dice was the first comic to sell out the Madison Square Garden on back to back nights. He recently starred in Woody Allen's film "Blue Jasmine".

Pauly interviews his fellow MTV VJ, the London based "Downtown" Julie Brown.

Commenting on the episode with Pauly is another former MTV VJ, Simon Rex. Simon is also well known by his rapping name Dirt Nasty. He has appeared in dozens of movies since MTV, including the popular Scary Movie franchise.

This is a great episode for all you entertainment and comedy buffs out there. I interview my dad, Sammy Shore, and learn about the history of the Comedy Store and his past in comedy. He opened for Elvis back in the day.

Commenting on this episode is my dad's old friend Rudy DeLuca - who opened the Store with him back in the 70's. He's best known for his work with the legendary Mel Brooks.

I first met Michael Steele on my political themed special entitled Pauly~tics. Since then we have become fast friends, and we chat about the current state of politics in our country. He is the former RNC Chairman.

Commenting on the episode is Jerrod Carmichael. If any young comic is on fire right now, it's him. Along with a few TV projects in the works, his HBO special directed by the legend Spike Lee airs on October 4, 2014 at 10:00pm. 

Andy Dick: I met Andy Dick several years ago. We did the movie In the Army Now together, and recently he was featured in my Vegas Showtime Special, Vegas is My Oyster. I definitely caught Andy on an off night during this interview. When you guys take a listen, you'll hear why. HaHaHa

Lucas Dick is Andy Dick's real son. I met Lucas several years ago when I did In the Army Now with Andy, Lucas was just a baby then. Lucas is a great young, up and coming stand up comic. And Lucas is actually the father in the relationship with Andy. Classic episode.

This episode features two legendary stand-up comics - I interview Arsenio Hall, and have Paul Rodriguez comment. Besides being known for stand-up, Arsenio hosted a late night talk show, The Arsenio Hall Show, from 1989-94, and it was revived again last year. I had his friend, Paul Rodriguez, comment on the interview, because they both started doing stand up around the same time, and shared similar success in stand-up before moving on to bigger things. 

As the world knows, the genius Robin Williams passed away recently.  I was very affected by this, not just because of his talents, but because Robin was very close to me and my family.  Robin Williams started at my mom's club, the Comedy Store, in Hollywood back in the late 70's.  I've known him since I was a kid. Hopefully Robin is in a happier place now.  He'll be loved and missed by me forever.  So I chose my first episode to be a tribute to Robin Williams, that's why I thought it was appropriate to interview Rick Overton, one of Robin Williams's best friends - and have Ed Begley Jr., who was also very close with Robin, comment on the interview. Enjoy!
