NEW YORK – Forget Black Friday. It was Tan Tuesday.

The cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” skipped the beach for a day to ring the opening bell Tuesday at the New York Stock Exchange.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi gave a thumbs up to stock brokers before ringing the bell and waving to the crowd. Fellow cast members Paul DelVecchio and Vinny Guadagnino pumped their fists in the air, and the rest of the group applauded.

The second season of the show premieres Thursday.
