Sammy Shore Death

Shore died peacefully at his home in Las Vegas surrounded by his family. He was 92. Sammy Shore’s death was confirmed by the World Famous Comedy Store in a Facebook post on Saturday.

“Sammy Shore, the legendary stand-up comedian, passed away peacefully of natural causes at the age of 92 in his home in Las Vegas, surrounded by his wife, Suzanne, and family.”

Actor Pauly Shore posted about his father’s death to Instagram. He wrote, “I’m saddened to let everyone know my father Sammy Shore recently passed at the age of 92 from natural causes.

“My parents divorced when I was three years old and even though my mom was the one that raised me, my dad still provided for me the best he could. He came to little league games, holidays, and birthdays. My dad sacrificed a lot of his career for his family even though all he wanted to do was be on the road and tell jokes and be free.

“When I first decided to do stand up comedy it was my dad that took me to my first gig. It was at a restaurant called The Alley Cat Bistro in Marina Del Rey on Sept 25, 1985.

“Once I hit it big in the 1990s I took my dad on tour with me all over America doing shows. We toured together for more than 20 years. It was labeled “A Family Affair Tour.” Most of the audience would be like, “Pauly Shore’s dad’s opening for him?” They thought it was some sort of a joke, when they soon realized the joke was on them. My dad killed the crowds night after night. He didn’t just set up the show by doing an amazing job on stage. He also simultaneously let the audience really know who I was, where I came from, and how I wound up the way that I did. Like father like son. Acorn did NOT fall far from the tree.”
