Remembering Pee-wee Herman, who made fans of all ages with his madcap, offbeat adventures in film and television.
Reubens, who created the Pee-wee Herman character as part of the Groundlings comedy troupe in Los Angeles in the late ’70s,, and the world is a less colorful, funny, weird, and wonderful place for his passing.
For me, as for many of you, it was “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” the 1985 Tim Burton movie, that made me a fan even before the credits had rolled in the theater. Suddenly, it seemed like everyone you knew was doing that weird Pee-wee laugh – heh-HEH! Ha-ha. Heh! – or rattling off its catchphrases – “I know you are but what am I?” was amusingly, then annoyingly everywhere that summer.
There was something appealingly fun about starting your Saturday morning, or afternoon, depending on how the previous night ended up, with coffee and a half-hour with Pee-wee and such “Playhouse” friends as Conky the Robot, Chairy the chair, Cowboy Curtis, Miss Yvonne, and more. “Good morning, boys and girls!” Pee-wee shouted as he bounded onto the Club Nokia stage just as he had those 45 episodes of “Pee-wee’s Playhouse.” “Good morning, Pee-wee!” we hollered back.
