The Pee-wee Herman character developed as a stage act also led to an HBO special in 1981.\u00a0When Reuben took the character to the big screen in\u00a0Pee-wee&#8217;s Big Adventure in 1985, he toned down the adult innuendo\u00a0so that he was more\u00a0appealing\u00a0to children. This paved the way for Pee-wee&#8217;s Playhouse, an Emmy Award winning children&#8217;s series that ran on CBS from 1986\u201391. Another film, Big Top Pee-wee, was released in 1988.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pee-wee Herman fans\u00a0get excited\u00a0&#8211; Paul Reubens announced, on The Tonight Star Staring Jimmy Fallon, there will be another Pee-wee Herman movie installment.
