    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.

    Pee Wee is now with Large Marge!

    I got to see his live show a few times.....once in the 80s before his first movie came out, and again in 2010....very funny stuff!
