1. Ok, I think I want to see this movie.I want to see Pauly take on Richard’s persona.

2. I want for this to be good but nothing about pauly shore tells me it will be.

3. Yeah, buuuuuuddy!

4. The perfect casting does not exis………

5. Needs bigger afro

6. Where the hell is Richard Simmons??

7. That guy was a ball on fun energy. I got to meet him once.

8. Carrot top turn it down?😂

9. Pauly is more Richard than Richard.

10. Oh, sick, that’s a really good casting. Hope it’s as good as the Weird Al D-Rad movie

11. I’m down for this

12. This is inspired!

13. Awesome how Pauly has embraced the memes and jokes comparing their likeness and ~~running with it~~ Sweating to the Oldies to it. This really could launch the Weasel’s comeback.

14. He was born for this role. And encino man. That’s it.

15. I……..I am okay with this.  

    I hope this is his “Whale”

    I also sort of hope him and Brenden consider an Encino Man 2

16. I mean 🤔🤔🤔

    I can see this being really good and I am not sure why. But I am going to watch it

17. Wheeze the juice

18. I hope this goes well for him.

19. Oh God I always thought Pauly Shore is the guy from Jersey Shore

20. Whoever the casting director is deserves an award for this idea holy shit

21. I’m just imagining getting in a Time Machine and telling 90s Pauly he’d be casted as Richard Simmons one day

22. I thought Richard Simmons didn’t want him to do this.

23. Both men always seemed like good people. Pauly was cut down for being a goofball and Richard was cut down for his positive flamboyant personality. Completely undeserved hatred when there are so many monstrous celebrities put on a pedestal.

24. Wait they are two different people??? lol
    This is the only combo possible!

25. Oh, he got the part! He was campaigning hard for it. Good for him!

26. Oscar vibes just by the picture alone

27. I’m sold! It just works!

    Reminds me of when back in the day, it was announced Mike Myers signed to do an unknown project called *Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery*. I was instantly sold on it based on the title alone! It just works!!!

28. I hope Richard Simmons is okay with this….

29. My high school French teachers were obsessed with him. They caught him on tour and recorded him (before cell phone video) saying “and one and two and good morning (my high school)!!!”

    We had been rotating different students and teachers saying that phrase but for my entire senior year Richards greeting was at least in the mix. Good memories. Seemed like a good dude.

30. The role he was born to play………I hope they show the Whose Line show.

31. Side note: you likely have no concept of how much money Richard made on those tapes. Keep in mind he did it all himself so every drop of profit was his.

    Like near $750million – in 1980s money

32. I pray they don’t turn this into a joke. Richard Simmons helped a lot of people and he deserves respect.

33. “Hey! Leave Pauly shore alone!” -Aziz Ansari

34. I’m sure Simmons is like, why isn’t Tom Cruise playing me?

35. Please do this right. Give the man the respect he has earned, and Pauly the rewards if he plays this right. Rooting for this movie

36. What a perfect casting

37. I smell an Oscar.

38. My mind registered Pauly Shore as Pauly D from Jersey Shore and I was concerned.
