Ending three years of speculation, NBC Universal president Jeff Zucker announced Conan???s replacement in a surprise press conference Monday, comedian Pauly Shore.Flanked by Mr. Shore at the podium, Zucker explained that while NBC had long been perusing the industry???s top talent to fill the spot, many front runners were unable to commit to their schedule being free so far in the future. The advantage of Pauly,??? Zucker continued, ???is he was the only one able to conclusively promise he???d still be available in 2009.The son of comedian Sammy Shore and Mitzi Shore, who founded LA???s The Comedy Store, young Pauly grew up around comedians, so when he decided to enter the business himself, he had a unique perspective.???With all the comedians I saw onstage as a kid, I noticed one common denominator; they were all trying to be funny. So I thought to myself, if I don???t even try, I could really stand out.???The strategy paid off for Mr. Shore, as it led to a four year hosting gig on MTV, and a series of moderately successful low budget movies in the early 90???s such as Encino Man and Son-In-Law. However the past decade hasn???t been kind to Pauly, as a series of attempted comebacks, such as the 2003 movie ???Pauly Shore is Dead??? proved unsuccessful.???That movie was especially disappointing,??? explains Pauly, visibly wincing. ???In focus groups, it actually had one of the highest ratings ever for a film title, but that never translated into actual audiences. I guess they thought the name was so clever; the actual movie could only be anticlimactic.???Pauly, who has recently been managing his mother???s Comedy Store, seemed excited about his return to the limelight, but still embryonic about the details. He was unable to confirm if Stephen Baldwin would be his sidekick, did acknowledge he???d repeatedly say ???weasel??? and ???Hey Bud-dey??? in lieu of a coherent monologue, and nodded obviously when asked if he???d use his new position of power to hit on girls too young to realize he???s twice their age.As the press conference came to a close, Zucker revealed that Mr. Shore???s contract has a built in out clause; so if for any reason in the next two years NBC decides to go in a different direction, they could part ways with Pauly, providing him with a severance package valued at over $5 American Dollars.

Damn, look at Barbra Streisand's poochy belly. All of them look like the kind of women Joe Rogan mocks in his routines.
Pauly Shore or Carson Daley.

I am both. I prefer the term "whold".
Great call... I'd watch that every night! We watched a little bit of Out Cold last night and decided he should be in every movie ever made from now on.
That's the best review I've ever seen on a DVD cover. "It's funny--no, seriously!"
That's for damn sure..."Funky Mule"?? Come on!
