I loved Pee Wee's Playhouse. Saturday mornings were a riot. Wake and bake. I remember some great lines. Once he was flying around in his little spaceship and said "I hope we don't go to Uranus!" What a great, absurd show. The secret word , Miss Yvonne - the most beautiful woman in all of puppet land, Cowboy Curtis, and of course, Jambi!
That first movie he did was pretty funny too. Pee Wee's Big Adventure?
This will sound weird, but when I wanted to name my Martin guitar, as part of my consideration, I had the odd thought "What would Pee Wee say if handed the guitar?" After all, Pee Wee WAS the philosophical and spiritual center of my universe. The answer - "Oh. Woody! Huh huh." As a big fan of Woody Guthrie, it was perfect!
RIP Pee Wee. Sorry you had to battle these last 6 years. You'll be remembered for sure. Thanks for all the joy and laughter.
A post to his official Instagram account included a quote from Reubens directly to be shared with his fans after his passing: “Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’ve been facing the last six years. I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.”
A cause of death has been confirmed for Paul Reubens, the actor known for his iconic Pee-wee Herman character.
Reubens died in July at age 70 due to “acute hypoxic respiratory failure,” according to multiple media reports Friday about his death certificate. As Healthline notes, this occurs when “your lungs cannot release enough oxygen into your blood, which prevents your organs from properly functioning.”
Reubens was also fighting two forms of cancer.
One of the cancers, acute myelogenous leukemia, begins in the bone marrow “but most often it quickly moves into the blood,” according to the American Cancer Society.
The other was metastatic lung cancer, a form of lung cancer that “becomes advanced when it spreads to the other lung or spreads to other parts of your body,” WebMD notes.
The actor was reportedly set to be interred at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery after cremation.
Meet my old pal, the Tie-Dyed Pee Wee Doll. I first met him at a Pawn Shop / Concession type store, two doors away from The Warfield Theater in San Francisco circa 1991. I was living walking distance from there at that time. I was just walking around, with my finger up in the air for a JGB or Garcia / Grisman (?) ticket when I saw Pee Wee in the store window. I walked in and bought him for 5 bux. He had a talking disc inside if pull string on his back, but alas, it was no longer working.I bought a Tie-Dye Onesie and put it on him.
I had already created an “I Need A Miracle” sign out of cardboard, so I just let Pee Wee hold the sign up, with his hand up in the air. Lemme tell you, that Pee Wee doll got me into a lot of shows for face value!
Pee Wee could dance, too. I’d hold him up dancing through the crowd at Cal Expo, or Shoreline and people would crack the fuck up! On the tragically sad day that Rick Grifin died 8-18-91, we were at Shoreline Amphitheater for a Grateful Dead show, and it was a very bittersweet day. But when Jerry started going into a sublime ‘China Doll’, which seemed clearly dedicated to Rick, some wiseacre behind me started singing, “Pick up your Pee Wee Doll…” Everyone around us on the lawn just started cracking up. Too funny! It just lightened the mood a bit on a tough day. Just one of those wacky Grateful Dead Moments….
Pee Wee has resided atop my bookshelf for decades ever since.
Rest In Peace, Paul Reubens. You made millions of people happy, and ya got me into a bunch of shows!!! (~); }

Me too, and if I woke up early enough, the Muppet Babies were good for a few laughs before the Playhouse hijinks.
RIP Pee Wee. You were almost as strange as the world you inhabited.
