Examples
Actor Paul Reubens caused a bit of a hullabaloo last month after announcing plans for a darker, more adult version of Pee-wee Herman, his most famous character.
Although it was Reubens in the role of Pee-Wee, the end credits of the movie billed him as Hamburger Dude.
But after appearing for the first time since 1992 as Pee-wee at Spike TV 's 2007 Guys' Choice Awards, Reubens had remained optimistic and had jokingly said he's no longer nervous about being young Pee-wee again thanks to digital retouching.
Available for pre-order now at the Pee-wee Store ($20).
In 2016, Reubens helped write and star in the Netflix original movie, Pee-wee's Big Holiday reprising his role as Pee-wee Herman.
In the early and mid-1980s, Reubens made several guest appearances on Late Night with David Letterman as Pee-wee Herman which gave Pee-wee an even bigger following.
