Tequila! Pee-wee Herman comes out of retirement

[tuvor]

While the name Paul Reubens may not ring a bell for many people, his Pee-wee Herman alter ego remains an enduring icon for the MTV generation.

...

But in 1991, the big adventure ended when Reubens was convicted of indecent exposure at a porno theatre in Florida

Not long after, CBS cancelled the Pee-wee show and Reubens went from being a celebrated comedian to being the punch-line of countless jokes.

Since then, Reubens -- now 57 -- has made periodic appearances in films like "Batman Returns" and "Blow." But his most famous creation has been all but silent.

Until now, that is.

1. He was on one of the late night shows as Pee-wee recently.

I only saw a few seconds of it. I was surprised and meant to go look for the clip, but forgot.

This explains it.

Welcome back Pee-wee!

6. Paul Rubens is not a nice guy.

But Pee Wee's playhouse was brilliant! Pee Wee started as a pervert carachter (mirrors on his shoes to see up skirts), but he took the responsibility of a kid's show seriously.

Gawd, I loved "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." :)
