There's no way we can learn, experience and enjoy every single aspect of what makes a Human life a Human experience aka the entire cake. We only get a slice or two - some get even less.

Today, my parent’s four children are all doing well and independent. Pee-Wee’s Playhouse was one of those tv shows that got me through. Between Pee Wee, Mr. CBS Storybreak, 321 Contact, Rogers, Muppet Babies, Sesame Street, PBS. They took us kids who were not so well off financially to the places the rich kids would go. They took us all over the world, and Pee-Wee expanded our imagination. He just meant so much to me. I often through the years, every year take some time to watch the old shows. I’m an adult who’s still a kid inside. That will never go away. I’m 44 years old and absolutely love life. I’m happy, and Pee Wee played a big part in that.

The world lost it's most beloved comedy actor. Rest in Peace Paul Reubens🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'll never forget you and all the laughter you shared

[@justinhopper5941]

He’s very charismatic and really wasn’t a one trick pony. He certainly proved he could act. You don’t have to look further than his great performance in the movie “blow” to see how well he could do it.

Such a nice interview:)💁🏼♥️

[@zero-ol2nt]

You notice all these celebrities early interviews when they are younger they are really down to earth soft spoken and normal people. Then after Hollywood gets them they turn into much different people. Pee wees playhouse was one of my favorite shows ever as a kid 😢

[@RocStarr913]

It’s because Hollywood really exploits the life out of people and fame completely makes your life more complicated, especially for someone like Reubens, who not only played the character constantly in public, but the character had become a children’s brand with Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. It’s been said he would go out of his way to make sure nobody caught him smoking a cigarette, which he habitually did, or even have a sweet snack. That’s a lot of pressure to be put in and put yourself in.

I was such a PeeWee fan as a child. I would quietly well up with tears at the end of each episode knowing I'd have to wait a whole week for the next episode. RIP

[@Sgt.Strawberries]

Man my left ear enjoyed this a lot XD Jokes aside rest in peace Paul Reuben’s. You were an absolute treasure

[@HumblyArtsy]

😢 I love this, never seen this, not to sound rude or blunt, but I hate how it takes someone to pass away to see these rare interviews, I wish these would’ve been available years ago ❤ rest in peace ☮️

[@ShutdownWellspanMedical]

Also had one of the most iconic celebrity mugshots of all time and one of the best reasons to get arrested

[@RocStarr913]

He’s always said that never really happened, what he was arrested for.

[@nodatastored684]

He aged well ❤

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I didn't know he was 70. He was still Pee Wee.

[@jenniferhoene7214]

No kidding! Did not even look like an elderly man. AND he had cancer.

[@brightmacsworld8353]

He will always be remembered as Pee Wee Herman

[@Mrd9960]

Not that it really matters but does anyone know what type of cancer he had? Just wondering.

[@BeYounique...Maryanne]

@@JDsHouseofHobbies I know, right? He didn't seem "that" old, yet it's still way too young to die. And not long before his 71st birthday. So very sad for his family. 🙏💔

[@jenniferbarrette5444]

He is a legacy from the past..he was truly brilliant and talented!

[@Favelize]

Rest in power to this legend

[@michellerohl9761]

We all slipped in and out of our Pee Wee character after we fell in Love with Paul Rueben's lovable Pee Wee Herman who spoke to the kid in us all. Now, where's my BIKE?! (insert Pee We laugh here)🤣

[@ChristopherNyeitz]

We’ll miss Paul Reubens

[@tetsuoshima7385]

Reubens

[@Danimal77]

Reubens*** not Rueben.

[@joshuawhittier8077]

😢 He was such a big deal to me when i was a kid. I remember waiting in the kitchen and hoping peewees playhouse was the next show on tv. When it came on I was so excited and was glued to the tv. I watched big top pee wee so many times. I watched it the other night and i remembered way too many lines. I still quote some of his stuff to this day. The way he says scuse me at the biker bar😂. This one was a bummer and knowing he suffered for that long breaks ny heart. Thank you Paul Reubens! Rip❤

[@SeaBreeze2247]

Paul had a charming personality as himself, soft spoken with kind eyes. PeeWee, though, had the spark of Charisma. What a guy. RIP

[@Manuel-zo3wg]

This Nerdy Guy was 😎 loved all his 🍿🎥 RIP 🌹 Peewee Herman ⭐✨

[@carlosdanli9389]

He's trying not to go into character, especially when his mouth moves sideway harhhar RIP My salute to Peewee Herman. Him, along with Ernest P. Worrel, gave me a lot of childhood laughters

[@naturalhealthwellnessmedsp3572]

He was so very handsome. 🥰 Immensely talented and very funny and loving. ❤ He will be greatly missed. 😢 💔 🕊️
