On August 27, 1952, 70 years ago, Paul Reubens was born. He is famous for playing the role of Pee-Wee Herman for over four decades. Generations of people have seen him on TV and in movies. Now everyone is celebrating his seventieth birthday.
Although Reubens is best known for playing Pee-wee, he has acted in other films and television shows as well. His notable roles include the original film Buffy the Vampire Slayer and providing the voice for characters such as Batman: The Brave and the Bold and TRON: Uprising. Get a sense of what people are saying about him by checking out some quotes from fans and critics below.
Reubens first created the Pee-Wee character with help from The Groundlings. He continued to develop the character and then starred in The Pee-wee Herman Show. This show was filmed by HBO and aired as a comedy special in 1981. This led to Pee-wee’s worldwide fame. In 1985, Tim Burton directed Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, which became an instant hit.
The character Pee-wee’s Playhouse first aired on television in 1986 and ran for five seasons on CBS. A sequel to the film, Big Top Pee-wee, was released in 1988. Reubens continued acting thereafter, but in 2010 he revived The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway. This led to another feature film called Pee-wee’s Big Holiday on Netflix.

It really annoys me when someone does a Pee Wee Herman impression and says “magic word” when it’s clearly “secret word”. That’s something we all need to focus our energies on, happy birthday @peeweeherman
