Paul Reubens worked with second city or groundings folks John Paragon and Catherine O’Hara and you can see some of them on ‘The Gong Show’ clips.
At the time comedian actors liked to create characters of their own. Some characters caught on and some didn’t. Peewee caught on like a wildfire.
He also made the wearing of “skinny suits” fashionable long before Joe Biden did.
In before the “series of small strokes” jokes?
I remember seeing him on the Dating Game as Pee Wee Herman.
Oh hell no! Don’t bring the boys into it! Ren and Stimpy maybe but not the boys
Actor Jaleel White was very talented as Irkle, but somewhat limited, either by the scripts or his comic skills.
I could only take his act in small doses, i.e. a few episode of Family Matters a year. That nasal voice would quickly get on my nerves.
The Dad character, Reginald Vel-Johnson and the daughter, Kellie Williams were excellent and believable in their supporting roles. The show was well done entertainment that promoted the idea of keeping the family together.
he was great and I’m VERY sad he’s gone. I posted another thread on this without realizing you had put one up. Thanks for doing that.
I just watched PW’s BA a week ago (for the 12th time :|)

you’re own perverted tendencies are shining through with your obsessive posting about whatever.
And Bart Simpson
I attended the live Pee Wee Herman show twice and it still ranks as one of the best things I’ve experienced in live theater.
It was new and fresh then and a very funny satire on the zeitgeist of children’s TV shows of the 50’s and 60’s. I remain a fan of Jambie the Genie to this day.
Funny how those Goofy words get stuck in your Head for Years!
RIP PeeWee.
It was all over the news at the time, you just weren’t old enough or don’t remember it.
How much for your children?
I want to buy your little girls.
“I meant to do that...”
something you’d like to share with me Amazing Larry??!!!
