70? He couldn't have been 70... Cuz then that would mean that I'm...

Fuck... I'm getting old...

Large Marge has her passenger back.

Reubens also helped start the careers of Phil Hartman and Laurence Fishburne, which is pretty neat.

Man either the guy really thought he was going to beat this or he just needed a reason to hang on: "...he recently penned the first draft of his upcoming memoir. He had also put the finishing touches on two more Pee-wee movie scripts and was developing projects for television, including a variety show and a western called Fancypants."

Shame those won't see the light of day, at least not with his further involvement of course. That sounds like a ton of work. Source: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/paul-reubens-best-known-pee-170902189.html

Watching the PeeWee Herman Show special on HBO blew my mind as a young adult. What a talent, and stunted career in the end. We loved you Paul.

Reubens created a lot of joy in the world, he will be missed.

Can't believe he was 70. RIP. Big part of my 90s childhood.

This is awesome.

I remember him telling Philip Rosenthal that the reason he developed Pee-wee Herman was that Reubens had a horrible memory for jokes, and so he just built a persona that was inherently funny without them.

Obviously, a brilliant move.

I'm 40 now. I freaking loved PeeWee when I was a kid. This hurts. I'm hoping when I get to the pearly gates I hear "Ha ha! Ahhh!". Probably want to see my grandma first now that I think about it.

Holy shit!
"He died on April 3rd."
DOUBLE holy shit!

Jambi, I know exactly what to wish for. :( Really sad seeing your childhood pop culture figures dying.

hope he gets to jerk off in heaven

Well that sucks. Could have definitely started the morning not knowing this. RIP Paul Reubens

Anyone remember this movie?

Man WTF I idolized him as a kid growing up watching PeeWee's Playhouse and the PeeWee movies. Even though he was as old as my parents, it feels like a childhood friend died. I did not expect to be so upset by this.
