DJ Pauly D of "Jersey Shore" took a break from fist pumping and the GTL lifestyle to share his political views of Gov. Chris Christie during an interview with TMZ.

Pauly, whose real name is Paul DelVecchio, said he was excited for Phil Murphy to take office as New Jersey's governor.

"It was time for a change," he said.

When asked if Murphy will be better than Christie, Pauly responded "anybody’s better than him."

CHRISTIE SAYS:Murphy posing for photo sends a 'terrible message'

The reality TV star also said he found it "hilarious" when Murphy posed with a cutout of the infamous Christie beach chair photo. Murphy crossed paths with the cutout at the New Jersey Working Families Alliance 10th anniversary gala in Glen Ridge Thursday.

When informed that Christie said the incident was out of line, Pauly responded that "Christie was out of line" without specifying what he meant.

"Jersey Shore" will return to the air in 2018 and feature most of the original cast, including DelVecchio. The return will be titled "Jersey Shore Family Vacation."

"We’ve been dying to come back," Pauly told TMZ. "I want to show the world what we’ve got going on now. It will be good to get the gang all back together."
