Pee-Wee Herman is back after 17 years

[defdave]

Many of you undoubtedly probably already know about it.

I had heard earlier this year that Pee-Wee was making his return for the first time since 1992, but I didn't know when it would actually be happening.

That time is NOW.

Late last night I watched a pre-recorded broadcast of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien where Pee-Wee Herman was the featured guest. He was back not as Paul Reubens, but as the one and only legendary Pee-Wee Herman himself!

Looks like Pee-Wee is about to bring back his original pre-Playhouse stage show you may have seen back in the day on pay cable tv in the mid-80's.

And rumors I heard earlier in the year said he was going to star in a brand new Pee-Wee movie! I hope that's right. I hope they weren't just mistaken and referring to the new stage show.

But regardless....everybody...Pee-Wee is back.

Personally, I love it. After seeing so many icons from my 80's childhood pass away over the past few years, it's great to see a return like this. I mean...it's been over 17 years since we've seen Pee-Wee in all his strange bow-tied glory.

I really hope we see a third installment in the Pee-Wee movies. Big Top was okay....Big Adventure was great. I'd love to see what a new movie would bring.

And before anybody brings up any jokes about wacking off in a theater....come on. He's been gone for almost 2 decades. Besides that....ummm....how many of you haven't tugged on it in the past 17 years? Of course I'm sure it wasn't in public lol, but still....17 years we've had no Pee-Wee Herman.

I'm just saying...We need some Pee-Wee again. And he's finally back and I for one am happy about it.

"I know you are, but what am I?! Ha-ha!!!"

My friend has tickets to see him in January in L.A. I'm jealous.

He really needs to make a PG-13 or Rated R dark humor movie.

Pee Wee is on Twitter and Facebook too.

[Man Moth?]

No thanks. I was never a big fan of Pee Wee in the first place and his association with his lewd acts, combined with him now being in his 50's, leaves me unable to enjoy his character now.

Pee Wee's Playhouse was my favorite show as a kid, hands down.

What Pee Wee did that not enough other kid's entertainers do is emphasize how much it's great to be a kid, and, more than that, it's OK for a kid to act like one, too. He did try to inform, he did educate to a certain degree, but the Playhouse was more about pure fun, seeing weird things happening left and right, and random animation that didn't have to do more other than get your imagination working alongside it.

In short, Pee Wee rules.

This is crack...

So, Paul Reubens is desperate to make a quick buck nowadays?

Not a bad thing. Pee-Wee was always weird enough to get a few chuckles.

He has a pretty big double chin going on but I think he could lose it. Overall he looks okay.

A year or two ago he had a pretty big gut but he lost that in a hurry to do Pee Wee.

Yeah he looked decent on Conan and Jay Leno. He looked older, but of course that's to be expected.

It's just nice to see Pee-Wee back after all these years.
