From the All Star Rock n' Wrestling Saturday Spectacular! This show was a showcase for the 1985 CBS Saturday morning block and featured such stars as Piper, Pee Wee, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Cyndi Lauper, New Edition, and more.
Two fantastic comedic minds having fun, from two different worlds of comedy. Both of them are having a laugh right now at our expense. Rest in Peace, Pee Wee, and Roddy.
if you think either one is a "fantastic" comedic mind, you don't watch enough comedy. either that, or your nuance filter is broken. is everything "amazing" or "horrific" to you? i think it's a spectrum thing.
...Every Saturday I would wait for These Two Witty Geniuses to come on! Although most times hung over , They managed to put us in Stitches everytime, whether in the Pit or connect the dots! Miss Them Both, RIP Mr. Piper and Mr. Herman...
R.i.p Pee Wee! You gave me a lot of joy, laughter and entertainment in my early childhood! You and Ernest .P Worrell will always be part of fond memories of my childhood!
This showed me that Roddy was more clever than I realized.Two legends there. Roddy used to walk in the back door of Maple Leaf Gardens with jeans and a t shirt with an adidas bag over his shoulder. He treated all of the staff like gold. Pure class. Rip Peeweee and HotRod!
From beginning to end this was epic. Sadly I missed it at the time it aired originally as I was in college and had discovered the healing benefits of beer.
I agree I miss piper he was my fav wrestler im happy I have his figures n funko popscn I have his comic book he made before he died that his son autograph
@@deanbusch2727 but piper started wrestling when he was 15. I really doubt piper got into the business and then decided, hey I'm gonna get into the air force.
@@stacyhamilton2619 "Your mind seems not wrapped too tight" - woman who wore a surgical mask to the grocery store for four straight years, because sniffles (and who will now regurgitate the 2000% inflated death count as her "argument").
@@eelobrian6727 It's hard to wrap my mind around that idea. Growing and all. Pipers been dead a long time. What does your mind do when it needs to react quickly?
@@wadestanton Roddy could toss him in the air and watch him drift back down like a big feather... unless Pee-Wee just flies away like at the end of his original HBO special
He had a stage show in L.A. that made him famous in that town. Watch "The Pee-Wee Herman Show - Live at the Roxy Theater 1981" [edit: it has a lot of elements that were later used in "Pee-Wee’s Playhouse" - and some things that couldn’t be shown on children’s television]
Also, he went on Letterman several times between 1982-85. Those appearances and the HBO special really exposed him to a younger, hipper national audience.
I noticed that also. I thought Pee wee was gonna make some sort of joke about it, to no avail. That being said, I am no one to criticize the legendary Pee wee or this here absolutely awesome performance.
This is one of those moments. This SCREAMS 80's. When i think back to the yellow lighting, the yellow/brown/orange flower patterned couch, still comfy as the middle hadnt been blown out yet. Crystal glass everywhere. The "new" vinyl topped kitchen table, with the ribbed siding, standing on 4 thin legs. The sounds seemed more dull. Eveything had a quietness to it. Like a white noise was always in the background. Big Bird and Grover were the biggest things! Yeah, this fits right in to that mooding. This would be something id catch on a saturday or Sunday rerun. What an era!
Hokey smokes! This is the first time I've ever seen this and I'm laughing so hard. Grew up with Pee-Wee and the old school wrestlers like Roddy Piper. Thank you for uploading this!
His character had been fully developed by this point, like a polished diamond. Pee Wee was a diamond in the rough in the late 70s, early 80s -a little rough around the edges and didn’t have all his mannerisms and sayings figured out yet, but he was fully formed by the time his first movie came out in 85, when this episode occurred. Brilliant!
Two icons of the decade. I love Pee-Wee but wish he gave Piper's comments some room to breathe. Roddy never really got out of the gates, but they could've done gold if he did. R.I.P. to them both.
This was great! So much fun to watch! I grew up with these guys, and never knew this had happened. At almost 50 years old, I discovered tired just tonight. Thanks for posting it! RIP Reubens and Piper
So it was Pee Wee who came up with the idea for wrestlers to use sock puppets as a gimmick. I knew Mick Foley wasn't smart enough to come up with that himself.
A year and a half. That is how much time I give it until we see a Pee-wee Herman Story movie. I suspect one of the following titles. The Pee-wee Herman Story Pee-wee Herman I know you are, but what am I? This man was there my entire childhood and kept me laughing all the way. He will be sorely missed. "Ahh! Owww! Eeee! Uhhh!" - Paul Reubens
We lost a wrestling icon in Rowdy Roddy Piper; we've now lost Pee-Wee Herman and I guess GOD needed some more help, entertaining the angels in Heaven . 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😇😇😇. Now the laughter continues in Heaven. Thank you Hot Rod!!! Thank you Pee-Wee, for all the laughs. ✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿
It gets even better later on when Patti Labelle sings a song from Beverly Hills Cop -- dancing with Roddy, Pee Wee, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar all at the same time.
Hard to see more and more icons from your youth gone year after year. That's when you wake up and start to realize that you may feel young and even act young, but you really are getting older. Thankful that while it was the low resolution 80s VHS tape TV era, that at least we do have a record of all the good moments from the 80s. Thanks to everyone that takes time to copy off those old tapes. They are all worth their weight in gold to this kid at heart.
PeeWee actually took control of this Roddy didn't really get a chance to do anything but then he just decided to roll with it and went along with the sock thing. This was surreal.
