UPDATES The Pee-wee Herman Show Is Back!
So it’s official: he’s rehabilitated career-wise, and Pee-wee Herman’s back as well. His people are taking his hit L.A. show to a New York City stage for later this year. Reubens also has roles in 2 feature films in the can: Todd Solondz’s Life During Wartime, and David O’Russell’s Nailed.





Brad Schenck is a total moron. He had the chance to re-establish Pee Wee’s career and bumbled it for being a douchebag. Payback.
Nailed is a David Bergstein film, which means you might as well take it off the list of “in the can” films for anyone, ever.

Nikki, you’re an incredibly gifted woman and a day doesn’t go by that I don’t read Deadline Hollywood. Why though would you even bother to report anything about Paul “the pervert” Reubens? Does anyone really care about a guy who was arrested in an adult movie theater for indecent exposure?
I can’t even fathom someone being interested in hiring the guy. On second thought, I may know someone. Now that Conan’s masturbating bear has been declared NBC’s intellectual property, perhaps Reubens should explore his future with Conan O’Brien.
Lesley and Large Marge must be on break writing for the 700 Club… We could use a better caliber of actors today and the past is past. Good luck Paul.
He has always maintained his innocence. By today’s standards his supposed “victimless crime” seems almost quaint.
The guy is a brilliant talent who should have brought back Pee-wee decades ago.
Sorry Lesley, Conan already beat you to it. I guess great minds think alike.
Of course, if you really did read Deadline Hollywood as often as you claim you would have seen Niki’s post about it.
GO Pee-wee Herman !
Great! They can all celebrate by going to an x-rated adult movie theater together. You know, like the one Reubens was busted in.
Nailed? Did they finish the final two scenes that have been on hold for two years? Capitol is in no position to release the film. Right?
Love Paul Reubens, his performance in BLOW as Derrek Foreal was phenomenal – bout time he got sign’d by one of the bigboys. Can’t wait to see him in some more projects – his guest appearances on 30 ROCK and RENO 911 were classic. Excited for more!

Lesley & Large Marge:
I’m personally more offended by adulterous, drunken bigoted douche-bag hypocrites who can’t keep their racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic mouth-farts to themselves, but Mel Gibson still has representation and work. Isn’t life a bitch?
You gotta be hammered if you think “Nailed” is getting released. As for CAA, signing is cheap, but what are they gonna do with a guy who pisses on everything he touches? Quirk guest spots don’t mean much, but anything more, no way. First he jacks off in a porn house when he’s got a kiddie show on the air, then after the network drops it, he gets caught with massive amounts of child porn in his home. His paid liars will say it was vintage muscle mags but call the city attorney’s office. If Reubens didn’t cop a plea to avoid trial, he might still be in jail like other pervs who commit that egregious crime. Or he’d be sitting in Roman Polanski’s chateau.
First, the guys’s a freakin’ genius — who else could have thought of all of those phenomenally clever bits for his TV show? It boggles the mind and takes one’s breath away to think of that level of talent. But why DID he “piss” it away with that brush with the law (which was arguably disturbing given the nature of the charges and that he was completely focused on kids in his career at that time)? Why do guys who seem to have it all just throw it all away for sex? (ie, such as the current Tiger tales). Just pondering that it takes an obsessive-compulsive to be a genius at art or sport…and maybe that obsessive nature inevitably leaches into other areas of their lives as well.
It’s about time his career comes back around. He’s been silently building his comeback for about 10 years now (Blow, the crappy Mystery Men, 30 Rock, etc.). I can’t wait for Reubens to get back on top again!
Lesley, at least Conan wasn’t masturbating bear-aphobic like you seem to be.
