I like Pee Wee Herman. But, Is he too old to play a man-child anymore? It was like watching those Gilligan's Island tv movies with a much older Bob Denver. Jerry Lewis wasn't funny when he did those goofy faces and noises when he was a middle aged man. At least Pee Wee Herman is less uncomfortable because his humor is intelligent. I read a mean review of Pee Wee Herman's appearance last night by pointing out his wrinkles around his eyes.

Re: Pee Wee Herman on Jay Leno Show
I grew up when Pee-Wee's Playhouse was on Saturday mornings. And sometimes I sat through it b/c Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures was on after (the cartoon, not the movie). But I never liked it much. I kinda thought he was obnoxious. Is he ever not "on"?
Can't think of anything creative this time

Re: Pee Wee Herman on Jay Leno Show
I watched Pee Wee's playhouse back in the day. I had Pee Wee's Big Adventure on VHS and I even had the talking Pee Wee Herman doll. Everything was right as rain until we heard that fateful newscast about our childhood entertainer.
Amazing how many famous actors got work on that show when they were relative unknowns. Laurence Fishburne (Cowboy Curtis), who later became Morpheus in Matrix, and Jimmy Smits (Your Authorized Conky Repairman), who would later become Bail Organa in Star Wars Episode 3.

It's been rumored for years that Paul Reubens would one day resurrect his long moth-balled Pee Wee personna for a comeback. No matter how successful his new stage show is, I don't expect that his blemished reputation will ever allow him to host another Saturday morning TV series. But a new Pee Wee movie? That would be very interesting to see.Last edited by Frankie's Market; September 24, 2009, 08:08 PM.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal.

I remember when I first saw Pee Wee's Big Adventure this
scared the heck out of me.

Re: Pee Wee Herman on Jay Leno Show
I love Pee Wee Herman (the character.) I must say that I've probably seen "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" over 150 times, as much as "A Hard Day's Night." That film was full of innuendoes as well.... and aimed at 13 year old girls.

Re: Pee Wee Herman on Jay Leno Show
Reuben's tippy-toe dancing was a gimmick he was using even before he invented "Pee Wee Herman."
