    Yeah I didn't realize that either. I always think of him in Nice Dreams whenever I hear his name.

    Really sad day.

    His heart was filled with good humor and kindness.  I am a fan and didn't know he was ill either.  

    Do your adult-self a favor.  Get together with some friends, smoke a joint, and watch Pee Wee's Big Adventure.  It is a masterpiece.

    Very sad to know he was battling cancer for so long. I've always felt so bad for Reubens - He didn't deserve the treatment he got for what he did.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    He went on MTV shortly after that and poked fun at himself and owned it.  He still had work after.  He didn't get cancelled.

    I disagree. His career was ruined by it.

    Yeah, that matches my recollection... he never regained the popularity or success he had before the incident.

    I thought everyone moved on.  he was in Blow, Mystery Men shortly after the incident.  Tons of parts in shows and movies. I always saw him in things.

    Saw the news this morning and am saddened by the loss.  Reubens was so funny and amazing as Pee Wee Herman.  I just loved that show.

    I think it took some time.  Both of those were years later.  He was going to be stuck as Pee Wee after that role was so popular but he had to put the hold on that after his handy press

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    I got to see his PeeWees Playhouse live tour in 1983 I think.
    I had no idea what I was in for and left a believer.

    I remember watching it on a very early HBO special.  For any of you to have seen it live, wow.

    I don't think he got cancelled. he got "paused". TODAY he'd be cancelled for sure. a kid's (sort of) entertainer caught diddling in public? not a good look in today's climate. 

    we used to smoke weed and watch Playhouse saturday mornings. It was a trip. Big Adventure was something else. I've been trying to convince my kids to watch it forever. Maybe now they will. 
    Flight Risk out NOW!

    You know, every once in a while a celebrity passes and the amount of nice things people say about their character is overwhelming. Most recently Bob Saget comes to mind. This time it’s Paul Reubens. The man clearly was kind to others.

    Yeah if he was a jerk I don't think he would have got the work he did.  It's nice to hear good things about him.
