TBS Announces Pauly Shore Reality Show . Feb 16 - 2005
TBS announced a new reality series, Minding the Store, in which comedian Pauly Shore will try to revive his mother's
famed Los Angeles comedy club, Comedy Store, as well as his own career.
The half-hour series, produced by Shapiro/Grodner Productions (Big Brother) and Bayonne Entertainment,
is slated for fourth quarter 2005.
"The Comedy Store is the place where such comedians as Jim Carrey, Richard Pryor and David Letterman got their starts,
so it seems perfectly fitting for television's 'Very Funny' network to follow its revival," said Steve Koonin, executive vp
and COO of TBS and TNT. "The show will blend the comedy on-stage at The Comedy Store with the quirky personalities and offbeat
backstage antics of Pauly Shore and his mother, Comedy Store owner Mitzi Shore."
In the show, Shore will be in charge of renovations, promotions and talent, while his mother has trouble letting him
run the show.
The Comedy Store on Sunset Strip was established in 1972 by Mitzi and Sammy Shore.
