Pee Wee Herman Gets Extremely Close

Paul Reubens, who passed away this week, spent a good part of his life convincing people he was his alter ego, the delightful Pee Wee Herman, a guy who never grew up, but stayed just as strange as that guy in third grade that you knew. His children’s show, Pee Wee’s Playhouse was an amazing surreal trip every week that adults and children flocked to on Saturday mornings. My favorite part of this appearance: fun with caps!!
