This is sad. Paul had his problems, but we all do.

He made a lot of people laugh. I don't recall him voicing any politics or sexuality issues in public.

RIP.

Think I’ll rewatch Pee Wee’s big adventure again (for the 100th time)

It was on television a few weeks ago and I caught the last 30 min. I always loved his morning show when I was young.

His humor was annoying. He was a perv and considering his TV life vs his real life, I would keep him away from kids altogether. That said, RIP.

I took a date to that movie. It was snowing to beat the band.

We were in my Mazda RX-7. It was fun to slide in the snow.

I remember him as the waiter in the Blues Brothers.

No thanks. I blame him and Spongebob for teaching kids the most annoying habits ever.

“ I don’t recall him voicing any politics or sexuality issues in public.”

How would Pee Wee Herman’s endorsement of a politician or issue be a plus?

I’ve seen a couple of films where he had serious roles, actually not recognizable in those films until you looked twice. He was good in those roles, wish he had gotten the opportunity to do more.

OMG, that completely escaped me but you are right.

Ok, he had at least one redeeming role.

He was a very funny guy. I saw his TV show once, after he’d been arrested. It had innuendos that you might not want kids to hear, and that sounded really dark and pointed after his arrest. Still, I remember him on Letterman in the old days. Very entertaining. RIP

Yes, but when finally came out of exile his comment “Heard any good jokes lately” at some awards ceremony was hysterical.
