More on Pee-wee Herman
Description from Wikipedia:
Pee-wee Herman is a comic fictional character created and portrayed by American comedian Paul Reubens. He is best known for his two television series and film series during the 1980s. The child-like Pee-wee Herman character developed as a stage act that quickly led to an HBO special in 1981. As the stage performance gained further popularity, Reubens took the character to motion picture with Pee-wee's Big Adventure in 1985, toning down the adult innuendo for the appeal of children. This paved the way for Pee-wee's Playhouse, an Emmy Award winning children's series that ran on CBS from 1986-1991. Another film, Big Top Pee-wee, was also released in 1988.
Reubens's arrest on July 26, 1991 caused a media frenzy over the actor and his Pee-wee Herman character. This forced Reubens to shelve his alter ego during the 1990s until his gradual resurrection the following decade. It was during this time that Reubens addressed plans to write a new Pee-wee film, Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie, which was greenlit in summer of 2006. In June 2007, Reubens appeared as the Pee-wee Herman character, for the first time since 1991, at Spike TV's Guys' Choice Awards.
