Omg I burst out laughing when Dave said “I like it” and Pee Wee says “why don’t you marry it then”.😂😂😂😂

@CliveNDerek Год назад

R.I.P. Paul Reubens. He always had us laughing. What a unique talent.

@LNSLateNightSaturday Год назад

I honestly can't imagine the kind of confidence one would need to go on Letterman with a collection of doofy kid's toys and KILL. Well done, Pee Wee!

@Teeveepicksures Год назад

Dave had him on all the time, the bits of the two of them driving were always great

@mr.t8562 Год назад

That's for sure. Gotta love Pee Wee's enthusiasm. Great performer.

@samanthab1923 Год назад

Back when Dave was just having fun. Hadn’t been crushed by NBC yet

It probably takes a grown man who really likes finding common ground with children for some unknown reason...

@joeybaseball7352 Год назад

You say that as if he isn't a professional stand-up comedian, and one the biggest stars of the 80s.

@robyne3297 Год назад

Can you imagine any network show allowing this much time for something like this now? I love how much time they allowed for this silliness. No agenda. Not there to promote anything. Just pure goofy fun.

@DoNotTredOnMe Год назад

Right after a funny but more structured Tonight Show with Jonny Carson, you could always count on a crazy, more spur-of-the-moment feeling of Letterman.

@ElBrooklyn1 Год назад

Filling three whole segments with shtick! Letterman got a lot of mileage out of Pee Wee. He did have to fill 90 minutes a night!

@lfader Год назад

Exactly other than retro channel all TV done toodles 👋👋👋

@alro2434 Год назад

Seth Myers does fantastic work, precise political stuff that is the best on TV the past years, but NOTHING at all like 80's Dave, no bits, nothing outside or pre-taped or propsd, but a drinking in a bar bit. Shows gotta cost way less the letterman's.

@daveman439 Год назад

Hey, all part of MK-mind control agenda. Hey, don't nay say it from some personal bias.

Paul Ruebens was a genius. He allowed us to all let our little 8 year old selves out to play for a bit.

@fritztheman749 Год назад

Pee Wee, a National Treasure. What an unbelievably unique talent. Silliness and joy.

@peterjones4621 Год назад

I'm honestly sad to have lost Pee Wee, he was only 70, he had the courage to keep his cancer to himself for the past 6 years. Pee Wee, or Paul Rubens made me laugh out loud for years, God has a great place for him in heaven. Rest well funny man, you are sorely missed.

@Sindollx666x Год назад

Absolutely. I actually got my mom into Pee-Wee as a kid. She originally was annoyed by him, until she actually sat and watched Pee-Wee's playhouse with me when I was little. She finally saw his genius! At around 6 years old I went to the dinosaurs Pee-Wee visits in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. I just saw a video of that place this week and it looks SOOOO DIFFERENT than I remember it looking in 1986 or 1987!!!!

@finster1968 Год назад

He had really polished up the character by this point and was getting ready to take the world by storm with his movies. Well done Paul.

@KurtChristensenPhoto Год назад

Letterman playing straight man to Pee-Wee was always great.

@Beowulf-wt3kb Год назад

I’ve never liked how Dave played such a straight man that he didn’t seem to really be enjoying it. It’s like he was tolerating it. That’s sad because P-wee was an amazing comic talent.

@carolwisniewski6740 Год назад

Especially the first few times Pee Wee was on. Dave was a little rough on him. There's another video with all the early shows.

@rjkral Год назад

@@Beowulf-wt3kbI agree. Lots of comments here saying Dave is enjoying it but what Dave is actually saying here is allllllmost really putting Pee Wee down, he seems to be tolerating it but not in a fun way at all, a real drag to be honest. Sure I bet he should be the "straight guy" but eh....just comes off as bad attitude to me

@tomhamby118 Год назад

I love how Dave is just walking along in his suit with his hand in his pocket like he's visiting an art gallery or something.

Paul Reuben’s love for Halloween went so far as to portray one of the most lovable sociopathic children in Nightmare Before Christmas. 💀👹🧙‍♀️. You will be truly missed sir. ❤️❤️

@EBDavis111 Год назад

IIRC, Pee Wee's original bit was that he would play in nightclubs that did really blue adult material very late at night, and the set-up was that he was a kid who had somehow snuck in and would tell really dirty jokes that he'd heard from his uncle but didn't really understand. And he absolutely slayed.

I was born in 1977, so I didn't really watch Dave until I was in my late teen/early adult years. So I'm so thankful that this RU-vid channel exists and posts these vintage clips. Brilliant stuff.

@allendracabal0819 Год назад

Dave was still a little awkward at this stage (1983), and wouldn't reach his state of brilliance for a couple more years.

@teddyray8597 Год назад

@@allendracabal0819 I think it's that rawness and awkwardness that appeals to me so much.

@allendracabal0819 Год назад

@@teddyray8597 It is fascinating to me to watch the early development of the great performers. Other than Dave, another fascinating one to me is Louis CK. His early standup material, on-stage persona, and physical appearance, are all so different from what he later became that it feels like you are watching a completely different person.

@ladystrange7791 Год назад

I was born in 77 also & didn't really get to begin watching (aside from grade school years occasionally sneaking the TV on when our parents thought we were asleep) until middle school. We'd (sibling & myself) watch any & everything Pee-Wee Herman no matter how many times we'd already seen & always fall in the floor laughing. Seeing this interview & the one w/ him driving Dave around in the country....I lost it. 🤣🤣🤣 I've played it at least 10 times in the past 3 days. Had no idea Pee-Wee ever appeared on Letterman's show & really happy to see it now!

@badapple65 Год назад

Seek out old “Tonight Show” episodes with Johnny Carson. (Myself born in 65’) Different types of humor but both played the straight man comedy wise. During Johnny’s rein most Americans only had 3-4 TV channels so it was common to talk to friends, school mates, about last night’s show.

Pee Wee was one of the, if not the biggest of comedy icons of my childhood. I am so happy I got to experience his show/movies/appearances/everything. Large Marge sent me.

@trainliker100 Год назад

Pee-wee Herman was sort of like the love child of Ernie Kovacs and Soupy Sales and then took all those things up a lot of notches.

@bluebassett2 Год назад

Hard to believe that in this point in time Pee Wee was a 31 year old man. Well before his movies and Pee Wee's playhouse, which came a couple of years later.

@allendracabal0819 Год назад

It's pretty brave to keep doing that at that age, not being sure if anything will ever come of it.

@mangrove Год назад

About a year earlier, Dave asked about the first movie, which was already named "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", and pretty much written by that point, though the plot around the stolen bike came a little later. He was also doing bits of the Tequila dance, sans music. It's all so cool to watch these appearances now, and seeing everything come together.

@Tuebor Год назад

Paul was a thoughtful individual. I had the privilege of opening up “Fruit of the Month” boxes from him every month after Christmas. Always made me smile.

@meowmeow333 Год назад

That's wonderful! I so wish I'd met him.

@dennisdivine7448 Год назад

I was a freshman in high school when this aired. These early Pee Wee appearances were quite a bit more subversive than Reubens' work later in the '80s; I would compare this to how Jim Henson treated the Muppets, with "Sesame Street" Muppets for kids and "Muppet Show" Muppets geared toward an adult audience. (And I have the understanding that Phil Hartman was pretty instrumental in the Pee Wee franchise; he basically co-wrote most of the material with Reubens right into the first episodes of "Pee Wee's Playhouse".

@fruticetum Год назад

My sister dated Pee Wee for a time. She thought he was amusing at first but decided he wasn't a mature man, wasn't husband material. But I loved when he came over and brought me all these cool todays just like on David's show here. He really was like an overgrown kid in a way. I also met his parents. Mr and Mrs. Herman were very down to earth and normal seeming.

@MuffinStuffer_TV Год назад

@tigristhelynx7224 Год назад

I feel like Paul accepts it as a challenge to get Dave to break his stalwart "boring dad" nature that won't play along with his son. I cracked up when Paul did the stairs bit at the end because Dave left him hanging again.

@Lethgar_Smith Год назад

The Pee Wee character was unique in that the audience responds as if he were an actual child. We laugh the same way and for the same reason as if a real 10 year old boy with a hilariously precocious personality suddenly took over the room. The character is genuine and not a parody of a child and he is self-aware just enough to put the audience at ease and let them know it's okay to laugh even if its stupid.

@nohandle227 Год назад

Definitely one of my favorite Pee-wee appearances ever, even though I wasn't born yet in 1983. Thanks for making these available on RU-vid- they are invaluable to fans.
