I think it was on last Thursday's Tonight Show when Pee-Wee Herman came out to explain the whole Conan v. NBC fracas (using a plush giraffe & NBC logo, Optimus Prime and "the bad guy from Avatar"). I'd heard a while ago that Reubens was bringing back Pee-Wee but that was the first time I'd seen him in character since forever ago. Turns out he's doing the Pee-Wee Herman Show live on stage in LA. No word on any tour plans so I bet that the only way to see the show is to go out to Cali. Oh well. There's also a spiffy Pee-Wee Herman website. (Note: will play the theme song at you, but you can turn the sound off if you're at work or you've already memorized all the lyrics).

scream real loud!
