I watched that segment.......and it WAS brilliant.

I was watching that night and got more than a little sad.

Brian Goguen that was amazing!!

I love you pee wee.

Thanks, I never knew that. I was never up on popular culture even today. ...

Sixysady Hatey I did cry when the show ended and I was an adult.

It was a very great intervention attention soother

I always felt down to see him skip off down the street on his scooter too. I hope life is better to you these days.

Prayers to you, I'm 60 and went through some trauma, I've never gotten over. Anyway I love Paul Reubens. I hate that Hollywood crucified him. Very hypocritical. I think he is one of the best comedians in history.

​@@oldisgood2587 Considering the phonys who were first to condemn him it was pretty rich to say the least! I supported him then and I will continue too do so. Love Paul Reubens.

@@SkyNetGeneral- yes. Very entertaining and engaging. Can tell good stories. Not boring for sure. 🙂

♥️

But if you give no LOVE, you GET NO LOVE.....It's YOUR intention that you will be reaping....if your love was conditional OR EVEN NONEXISTENT......well then, you can probably figure out what you'll be receiving in the "future"....appears many of you stand firm on your paths to NONEXISTENCE..... EXTINCTION is YOYR choice if you chose and unrepentantly still choose killing over HEALING. your free will made you a little "BEEYATCH". Good riddance 🥴🚬

@Joe Devola Yeah... Ok... He wasn't convicted, the material wasn't child porn. Nice try though.

What city?

@Joe Devolawell you must like him or you wouldn’t be watching this

Absolutely. He’s a beautiful human being.

Michael Berta couldn’t agree more.

I would go one further and say it is the single most unique character ever invented. So unique in fact no one will ever be able to reproduce it. Pee Wee lives and dies with Paul. It's also a character no one ever did before, or could do - a sassy, adult man child. Innocent, but sharp as a tack.

@@56squadron Yeah very similar to the 3 stooges, no one will ever be as good.

Totally original. That’s for certain.

He’s very much like the Elvira character from Cassandra Peterson. Not in terms of character, but a comedian who totally encapsulated their character when in costume. Actually, same as Barry Humphries’ Dame Edna.

Mm

yes, I was there! As a kid this man almost kept me a reason to wake up and turn on the tv. No other person or show has ever done that. His show was creative , inventive and mostlty funny!!!

🙌 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💝

It almost seems that people are still stupid and ignorant today with how easily offended and touchy they get over every little thing.

His career didn't just take a hit, it was obliterated due to the massive amount of outrage for something so human.

Yes the media does attack celebrities when they have a wank in a theatre.

He wasn't framed and unfair is debatable. Indecent exposure is grounds for arrest regardless of status. Masturbating in a public theater is way more than embarrassing, unless you see it as a common practice? I remember a man being in an empty classroom where a friend went to study when I was at university and she became concerned - and she wasn't a prude. Is that normal to you? I think men may not consider sometimes what that often turns into for women. He had also already decided against a new Pee Wee's Playhouse season and was already going into syndication. He also was found to have vintage photos of what is considered child pornography among an alleged large collection of vintage pornography memorabilia. Read up on it. He is very talented but is also somewhat an oddball, which I like minus any sex offender behavior. Read up on him, then decide.

@@Silvana716 first of all the he was arrested in an adult theater which is not exactly open to the public and 2. The vintage magazine's were non pornographic they were so that was dismissed that u can look up

I thought the same thing too, about a set up, & also when he had the search warrant served regarding is eclectic art collection. Set up due to someone bitter, jealous or...perhaps wanting to make a name for themselves in both cases. How lucky you got to meet him!

He and wierd Al Yankovic, great funnage.

The media tried to. I say that because his fans I feel like didn't care. I had that kind of conversation with my brother in law last night after he saw my new Pee-wee tattoo. He said "when he passed, they tried to bring up that stupid thing that happened to him. But, I don't care. He was amazing, and that's what matters. It's a tough loss." Whatever Paul did after that, there were fans still excited.

Gumboz1953 ugh and Gottfried is so insufferable

I agree. I'm so glad that Paul came up with his Pee-Wee character. It is truly unique and one of a kind. If the story is true that he had nothing to lose and ended up coming out with something due to fear of not doing it... and he solidified his funny/famous character.... then it goes to say... just do what you REALLY want from the get go! I have business ideas I'm only now working on, that due to fear, and only when after years it hit hard enough...that I came up with my solidified companies. One is from when I was just a kid, bored, and walking around truly trying to put my value (add value to those around me pre cell phone and internet days) by helping them with what's truly something important, the outside of their homes. (property maintenance) Since school I always wanted to be a teacher and was never recognized enough or given a real opportunity to be what I could for the other students and in turn myself...so despite my crazy ability to have started any company in the world I ever wanted, I always circled back to wanting to help others. In that aspect, my company's goal became to help other people...with their company whatever that may be. In this way I found I could truly do the best I can for those around me... and came from the fear that I couldn't do it.

Patricia J Winn yeah. SNL has turned into a total shit show. Good for PEE WEE

After all is said and done, I would rather watch Pee Wee reruns than SNL.

I tried the same thing as a child.

I've made many

what about ice cream soup! 🤣

Ice Cream Soup, Yay!

Loved that bit and the salesman

This interview, says it All. Tysm for this 🎁

yasss

+Jacqueline Campenelli Yes it was very well done, was surprised how good it was after the failure of Dumb dumber 2, zoolander2

totally agree with that. both were their characters on the dating game too

I never cared for Andy K., he was a bit annoying. Pee Wee I liked tho.

Exactly! They both ad libbed just about everything and walked a very fine line on national television. Pee Wee came really close to bombing on Letterman a bunch of times. Other stand up comics just did a few minutes of scripted well rehearsed routine, playing it safe.

I can agree with that.

@sara parker way to believe Fox news tardo.🤭

He still looks amazing! Love Paul Reubens too.

“If I could fly, I’d be the luckiest boy in the world!” “Yeah, it’s pretty heavy, Pee Wee.” Gets me every time.

Telephone call for Mr. P.W. Herman.....................

uma loner, a rebel...

Everyone's got a big but.....

that1chick92 It's good comedy. If you ever get a chance to see him to standup at decent venue you will die laughing. His improv is sensational.

I believe it :)

that1chick92 There is supposed to be a new Pee-wee movie he's working on. Hopefully we'll see it pop up some time soon.

Yeah I believe they just starting filming last month or earlier this month and it should come out in 2016 I believe. There's been plans to make it for quite a while. If you haven't seen both his original Broadway show and the remake of it from back in 2010 I recommend you watch it's

Oh sweet. Checking it out now. They have it on amazon. Better be good!

He's got the luxury of plenty of time; the tv hosts you mentioned are operating under enormous time constraints.

Letterman hardly interrupted him. He always let Pee-Wee take-over. And then others trashed him for that!

And who is this host? Nobody knows because he's a nervous nobody. Watch him instead of pee wee. He's tripping.

Even though the shows should be about the VIEWER first, the GUEST second...and then the HOST doing their best to provide the viewers the best interview/entertainment... it definitely shows that there are/is not a great host now in these days or for a long time... they confuse the interview with things that insert themselves in the act of doing the interview, and they confuse the fact that the entertainment of the interview is supposed to come from what you can help create with your guest and topic matters for your viewers, not try to be the center of attention, or the main source of entertainment during the interview. Especially the fact that the interviews aren't real ones, it's ones the producers think that both current circumstance, the host, and the material can create out of the guest... totally takes away from the real life aspect of wanting to be entertained via interviews of guests that the viewers want to see which is why we give hosts platforms and our attention and hopes in the first place. Bring back real TV!

True

Agreed. Furthermore, he didn't have a whole lot to pay for. Jerking off in a porno theater? Yea that's freaking weird and kinda creepy but it's not "sick" I mean it's a porn theater!!! And if defined as a "crime" then it's a pretty minor one. wtf is a porno theater though? like why? even back then there was vhs lol

Pee Wee was one of my favorites as a kid. I still love Paul I don't give a sh!$ who says what about him in the negative. Paul Reubens is still my buddy, just as much as he was then.

djlowtek weird and creepy? Dude most dudes do it at home including myself

It's a Jewish thing...

Wow. Never saw that until you mentioed it. Totally though.

Pee-wee is a grown man. He tells people that numerous times as Pee-wee. Also Pee-wee has a 'sex' scene in his 2nd movie Big Top Pee-wee. He is not a child. He IS however, the anticomic as you described.
