Pauly Shore found himself on the receiving end of one of Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue roasts during Sunday night’s Oscars broadcast.
Kimmel took swipes at many of the ceremony’s attendees (and the no-shows), from Tom Cruise‘s involvement in Scientology to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at last year’s event.
However, he also mentioned the fact that two Encino Man stars, Fraser and Quan — who took home the Oscars for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively — were nominated for awards.

“Two actors from Encino Man are nominated for Oscars. What an incredible night this must be for the two of you and what a difficult night it must be for Pauly Shore.”
Shore said the pot-shot was really no different than how people treated him in the past.

“We love to hate people when they’re on top. People wanted to smash me down and they did.”

“I was always nice to everyone, always cool, I put my heart into my all my films.

“You’re buying and selling a human being. Human beings have feelings, it’s not like selling real estate.”
Shore said he’s thrilled for his old co-stars.

“It’s a big deal, I’m happy for these guys. We did a movie together years ago and I’m glad that people still talk about it 30 years later. It’s crazy.”
But now he’s ready for his own return to the cultural conversation.

“I do truly miss acting and I miss being on set… hopefully it happens… it’s about just dreaming and hoping."

"People are always like, ‘We want you back!'”
He’s currently touring his one-man show, “Stick with The Dancing: Stories from My Childhood” — all about growing up in the late 1970s and ’80s.
