I was traveling and staying at a Holiday Inn, not knowing that Pauly Shore was also staying there. When I checked in, I saw two guys who were standing in the lobby talking. I said to one, “Hey, has anyone ever told you you look like Pauly Shore?” He said, “Yeah, I get that all the time. He’s a pretty funny guy, isn’t he?”
It didn’t take long to figure out that this was in fact Pauly Shore.
The other times I saw him in the hotel he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, in either a pitiful attempt to disguise himself or as a covert way to accentuate that he was a celebrity and everyone should take notice. I guess I was lucky to catch him offguard in a spontaneous moment.
