R.I.P.

My brother and I used to go at each other's throats when we were younger, but there were truces declared when we watched stuff like the Pee-Wee Herman movies together. We'd do the dance too. Also got to shoutout one of the best death scenes I've re-enacted countless times with friends:

I saw him on B’way with my Mom I’m coincidentally wearing the T/shirt I got my mom that night. After the show he came out and started talking to us and signing playbills. He was a really nice guy. I had video of it but it’s since been lost. He was out there at least a half hour maybe more.

Me too sometimes I get a little pain and I start thinking “whelp, this is it”. When everyone is dying around you it gets to fuck with your psyche a little bit.  I try to laugh it off by thinking of Redd Foxx playing Fred Sanford cuz there’s just so many times I can confuse gas with a heart attack before I start asking myself questions about my mental health. 🫠

Lol, I don't really drink soda often, but Sprite really helps with this gastro shit when I can't medicate, so I got one....not sure what I did but I drank it wrong. The gas buildup or acid or something had my chest in a head lock and I was like "years of drugs and I'm taken out by an uncaffeinated drink" 😣

I agree. Idt he would want us too sad. 
 

do you think on some far corner of the Internet a group of people are screeching over his Jambi character.  Personally I loved Jambi with the “mekalecka high mecka hiney ho”

 I was crushed when Jambi died years back as well as the og ms Yvonne

I chose to go into the field of political science, where everyone is like a senior citizen anyway so I always feel young even though it's been 20 years since I graduated.

Yeah it's sad.  I still miss Bob Saget, Betty White, and Gilbert Gottfried.

Also most of the original Night Court cast.

Dick, Bob Newhart & Carol Burnett.

I have no idea who Bob Newhart is, but I knew Carol Burnett was still alive. I just checked and she is 90, which is about 15 years older than I thought.

Sorry, I wasn't alive in the seventies, lol

His second show "Newhart" aired '82-'90.

I ended up seeing him in Ventura.  My friend got tickets to see the pre-opening of his Pee Wee's Big Adventure 35th Anniversary tour in February of 2020, so.we drove up the coast to see him.  The Q and A at the end of the show was hilarious.  There was no way of knowing he was fighting cancer at the time.

Every story people are recalling about him is just so damn wholesome.  He kept in contact w Natasha Lyonne (she was opal on PWPH) Dana Gould recalled the time he took his nieces to see him on b’way in 2010. He took them back stage after. Reubens asked for the chairy puppeteer to stay. The kids sat on chairy and got a big old hug. Kids loved it. It’s tons of stories like that.
