July 26th marked the 32nd anniversary of Pee-wee Herman’s arrest for exposing himself inside a XXX theater in Sarasota, Florida. This relocation of “Pee-wee's Playhouse,” ended his television career.
Me and my friends that worked at the box office were partially responsible for bringing that movie to cult status. We started the midnight runs in Albany…When we had no money my then future wife and I would make time for the star studded Pee-Wee’s Playhouse on Saturday mornings.
Reubens was lovely when he received a much deserved huge ovation at the awards show not long ago.

Did you know that the first appearance of the Pee Wee Herman character was in a Cheech and Chong movie?
I recall Saturday mornings at Pee Wee's Playhouse, followed by MST3000.
Good times.
Meka Leka Hi Meka Hiney Ho!
I never knew where PeeWee Herman began, and Paul Ruebens ended. Rest In Peace.

Can't wait for the sequel "Pee-wee Goes to Prison" starring Hunter Biden.
