I'm sorry for his family and friends, but I always thought he was pervy. The first time I ever saw Pee Wee on TV, I was mortified that this adult was acting so childish and trying to appeal to kids.

Truly, a one-of-a-kind. The "Tequila" dance on top of the bar in his first movie - brilliant. Read an interesting take about the movie theater incident, that getting caught was by design in order to smash the character (Tina Louise and Ginger, Henry Winkler and Fonzie, etc). And when everyone said his career was dead he continued on, appearing in dozens of shows, from Murphy Brown to The Blacklist. RIP, Paul. Gonna miss ya.

I loved Pee Wee Herman. I thought he was funny and Paul Reubens played him as a perfect blend of man and child. Pee Wee's Big Adventure was the directing debut of Tim Burton.

When Jerry Garcia died, they said, there's always Phish. When Pee Wee died, there's always Blippi. Pee Wee wasn't a good role model but he made a couple funny movies.

RIP Paul Reubens. Pee Wee was guilty pleasure I proudly confess. He was Phil Spector with a heart and a sense of humor. One of movie history's great lines -- "I meant to do that".

Pee Wee entertained me and my young daughter with his wonderful Saturday morning program "Pee Wee's Playhouse." It had so many great little vignettes, and it was so imaginative with all sorts of crazy characters. Pee Wee's Big Adventure is still one of our family's favorite movies. He truly knew how to think like a child and take us along on that sort of innocent fun. Rest well, Paul.

I was never a big fan but when he got caught masturbating in a theater, he came back with one of the best lines in history. After that embarrassing event, jokes about Peewee were all over the place. He made his first appearance on a show I have forgotten but his first line was "Heard any good jokes lately?". One of the jokes: "The Democrats are thinking about nominating Peewee Herman for President. They like the way he handles himself."

Re: #14 - Yessir, his character in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie was very funny. His line to the reluctant police dispatcher, "I think they're Iranians", (the year was 1980) followed by LA raining Po-lice, only for them to throw Pee Wee in the paddy wagon was priceless.

The DOJ is Hunter Biden’s Defense Team 6 replies

How do you tell Hunter Biden’s lawyers apart from his prosecutors? That was the confusing question that Judge Maryellen Noreika had to grapple with while unpacking a plea deal in which prosecutors buried an agreement that gave Hunter immunity from prosecution that had been written to avoid judicial scrutiny. Why would prosecutors write a plea deal for Hunter that one of them admitted to Judge Noreika had no precedent? The rejected plea deal was unprecedented because prosecutors and defense attorneys were unprecedentedly working for the same team. But that’s what happens when the Justice Department pretends to be investigating the president’s son with his dad’s reelection on the line.

LeBron James’ foundation is laying the blame for three years of low test scores at his I Promise school in Akron, Ohio, at least in part, on the pandemic, according to a statement. James’ school has not just had low test scores for more than three years. It has suffered some of the lowest scores of all of Akron’s schools and has not seen a single 8th grader pass the state’s math standards during the entire period. In fact, since James’ school opened in 2018, his now eighth-grade kids have proven to have the lowest performance of the Akron school system

Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White,” Gutierrez argued.

Congress seems paralyzed to intervene with more than hearings, and so far, only federal district court Judge Maryellen Noreika has tried.

FIRST ON FOX: Former President Trump was indicted Tuesday on charges stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, Fox News Digital has learned. This is the second federal indictment the former president faces out of Smith’s investigation. Trump, who leads the 2024 GOP presidential primary field, has already pleaded not guilty to 37 counts related to his alleged improper retention of classified records from his presidency. Those charges include willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and false statements. Trump was charged with an additional three counts as part of a superseding indictment out of that probe last week.

Fox News’ Bret Baier shared how Republicans are describing the indictment for what it is: Democrats looking at a box of chocolates, trying to figure out what was the best box of chocolates to “prevent him from becoming president again.” That’s hitting the nail
