Pee Wee Herman is a Visionary!
I have to give a big thank you to Pee Wee. I wasn't having a good night last night. I trudged to my bedroom ready to throw in the towel on a crappy evening. You can say all the bad things you want, but I have a TV in my bedroom and I do fall asleep to it. It helps me relax and last night was a perfect example. I was ready to doze off to a little Conan, but when I clicked on my TV it was on VH1 with a broadcast of the Spike Scream Awards. I have no idea what those are, but lo and behold, my beautiful Pee Wee won a special Visionary Award. He made me laugh so hard, all my troubles fell away. Thank you Pee Wee, I was able to drift off to wonderful slumber. It was almost like being cradled by Chairy.

Speel check! :)
Thank you! That's what I get for rushing. In my defense, I was trying to wash the dinner dishes AND shower before American Horror Story started at 10pm! TV running my life.
Still a little sad that Paul Ruebens is playing that character again at his age, isnt it? Pee Wee works best as a young man-boy... not as a middle aged man, no?
I can't say, I haven't seen him do it nowadays, just heard he had busted it back out.
Sorry, I hate to be "that ignorant Brit", but what did he win this award for, and was it for Herman or Rubens?
Note whilst I know of Pee-Wee Herman I have not seen his escapades.
Hey it was awhile ago so I can't blame you for wondering. Ruebens with the character of Pee-Wee launched the careers of Phil Hartman, Laurence Fishburne and Danny Elfman. His show had a original look that we see in everything now. Colors were vibrant, the action was in your face. The humor never talked down to kids and had a tongue in cheek quality that adults loved too. I think he was responsible for a lot of the shows we see today where it's okay to be a show and be a character for entertainment. It's sad that his whole "incident" was blown out of proportion since I felt he always separated the man from the character. When he was working he was Pee-Wee and people should have understood that. I think he showed that people should know the difference for you as a person and what you portray in your work. In that way he was ahead of his time.
