70? He couldn’t have been 70… Cuz then that would mean that I’m…
Fuck… I’m getting old…
Always thought he looked like Christopher Lloyd there.

Christopher Lloyd was in Nobody. At first I thought it was the actor that played Raymond’s father from Everyone Loves Raymond, though could have sworn I had heard he died years ago. I was sad when I recognized Lloyd partway through.
I had this exact same freakout when another posted said “I’m 40 and I loved him when I was a kid” I’m like yeah, he must have been around for a while beforehand then, this is reasonable… Then I realised I’m 38 1/2
Large Marge has her passenger back.
They can roam the highways together for all eternity.
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
Maybe Johnny Depp will play Pee-wee if those movies ever get made. (Depp was Reubens’ pick to replace him.)
I really really really don’t want anyone else to play Pee-wee.
I’d be angry I think. There is only one pee wee
Exactly. I’ve never seen a spot on Pee-Wee impression. Some people can get the voice, but they never get the ever-changing facial expressions right.
Ugh gross. Let’s forget about that creep Depp. Dude can’t even act anymore
the unedited memoir sounds worthy to experience
Beat it? Are we doing phrasing?
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.
Wild man. I remember watching Pee-wee’s Playhouse as a kid on those Saturday mornings oh so long ago. https://youtu.be/UsmFg7CD1Pg

Enough about my big butt. Let’s talk about your big butt.
Reubens created a lot of joy in the world, he will be missed.
This is awesome.
he was art school college roommates with Hasselhoff… wait what?
I’m surprised the hoff went to art school actually
some hot chicks in art school in Cali, bro
Lol they are in all the art schools. Art school is awesome
Can’t believe he was 70. RIP. Big part of my 90s childhood.
Fun fact, if you add 33 to the age someone was in 1990, you get their age now.
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!Where does it say that? Article is dated for today and the quote says his team shared the news on Monday, which I presume they mean today.
That’s what RodneyCK was saying.

I can’t find anything other than he passed on 7/30
That kind of thing happens quite often when a celebrity no longer has an agent.
The family don’t think to inform the press.
Jerking off in heaven?
Jambi, I know exactly what to wish for. :( Really sad seeing your childhood pop culture figures dying.
