Pauly D

Thus far, 2019 has been a tough year for America's favorite band of guidos.

The cast of Jersey Shore has been hit hard by a number of misfortunes, the most notable of which was Mike Sorrentino going to jail for tax fraud.

The stars of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation are older and (marginally) wiser than they once were.

But does that make them marriage material? Pauly D and Vinny think so -- and so does MTV.

For most of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 2, fans have been watching Ronnie get pounded on by girlfriend Jen Harley.

The two have a very unhealthy relationship.

We nearly saw Vinny Guadagnino's penis on the latest episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

But while this veteran castmate thankfully kept his junk in his pants, Vinny let it all come out when discussing his feelings toward former fling Angelina Pivarnick.

The cast of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was tasked with its most important mission of all-time this week:

Finding a new home to crash in for awhile.

A major secret was revealed on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation this week.

And a major bombshell was dropped.

You probably know Pauly D from his long tenure as arguably Jersey Shore's most charismatic cast member.

Pauly provides the much-needed comic relief that balances out the constant high-stakes drama endured by Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Mike Sorrentino.

Buckle up, readers!

Because on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation last night, one cast members was unbuckled from his seat in the car and prepared to exit...

Jersey Shore: Family has been all about relationships on Season 2.

We've watched as Ronnie and Jen Harley have screamed and yelled at each other, with fists and saliva occasionally flying back and forth between the parents of poor little Ariana.

It's nice to have Jersey Shore back, isn't it?

Sure the show has changed a bit, in that it's roughly 95 percent Ronnie baby mama drama, but we can always rely on old DJ Pauly D to bring some levity to the proceedings with his signature wit and quotable catchphrases.
