PeeWee Herman News
Paul Reubens, a.k.a. PeeWee Herman, born July 1952,
Sarasota, FL. He got his acting debut on TVs Working Stiffs in1979. The
following year, Paul had a small part as the voice of the Pinball Machine in the movie Midnight
Madness. Appearing in several movies such as Cheech and Chong, Blues Brothers,
Pandemonium and Meatballs II, Paul didnt introduce the world to his PeeWee Hearman
character until 1985 on the television show 227. This would be the start of an
American icon, and a near-cult status for PeeWee Hearman. That same year PeeWee had his
first starring role in PeeWees Big Adventure. Followed by a spin-off Saturday
morning television show "PeeWees Playhouse". Other movies would follow:
Big Top PeeWee and Back to the Beach just to name a couple. But in
1991, the PeeWee
fun and fame would come to a crashing halt.Arrested for public indecency, PeeWees
television show would be canceled. Then just a few short months later PeeWee showed up at
the MTV music video awards show, and after a few one-liners, was never head from again.
PeeWee had brought us such thought provoking phrases like "I know you are but what am
I?", "Why dont you take a picture, Itll last longer", and
finally "Thats my name, dont wear it out". He also taught us
valuable lessons such as "I meant to do that" and "Say it, dont spray
it!" But now all we have left are the memories. Hopefully they dont scar us.
The wonderful PeeWee's Playhouse can now be seen in re-runs on the FoxFamily cable network! Hope you all tune in and enjoy!
PeeWee will be returning to the big screen!! A new PeeWee adventure movie is in the works! I will post more details as they are available.
