Yep, that show kicked off Saturday morning for me every week.

Same. I still remember clearly the day they pulled him off air. I was so upset.

RIP. He was a great comedian, and a valuable lesson to us who grew up watching. I hope wherever his spirit ends up, he can be at peace.

So long Pee-wee. I hope you find your bike in the afterlife.

Noooo...not Pee Wee. That Christmas special is still hilarious.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure also still holds up really well IMO. Sad news today for sure.

What the hell? 70 is very young to die with current medical sciences. How sad.

Cancer doesn't really care how old you are, unfortunately.

The average life expectancy for men in the USA is about 77. Since it's the average, some men aren't going to be that lucky.

Drugs can do that to a person.

So can cancer, like in this case.

I'm extremely saddened to hear this. Terrible news
