Paul Reubens: The Pee-wee Herman Show
Reubens auditioned for Saturday Night Live the season that
Eddie Murphy started, but wasn't accepted into the cast. Instead, he started a stage show with the Herman character. Originally, Reubens imbued "Pee-wee" with a sexuality that was later toned down as the character made the transition from raucous night club to children's television. His stage show was immortalized by HBO when The Pee-wee Herman Show was aired in 1981.
In 1980, Reubens landed a small role in the film, The Blues Brothers. He also appeared in
Cheech and Chong's
Next Movie in 1980 and
Nice Dreams in 1981, and
Meatballs Part II in 1984 with Misty Rowe.
