    • @gersonkphone
      @gersonkphone 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      So maybe without Dave, Pee-Wee doesnt become mainstream enough to make a major motion picture. And without Pee-Wee in his debut, Tim Burton doesn't find a big audience to get to direct Batman. And maybe wihtout Tim Burton (and Michael Keaton), the movie's not the sort of mega-event that Hollywood et al spend two decades trying to recreate until Marvel finally takes over the movies. Maybe just maybe, Dave "destroyed cinema".

      @@gersonkphone Without Big Adventure, Burton would likely never have had the opportunity to do Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, or any of the other zany offbeat comedies and dramas he did. Beetlejuice was a direct result of his popularity with Pee Wee ...which then opened up the world of opportunities to last the rest of his career.

I was 14 and stayed up late every night to watch him and was always running late for school, he had the best guests and the wickedest sense of dark humor. Larry Budd Melman, Teri Garr, all of the guests through the first years, and later lol Krispin Glover and his "I'm strong and I can kick" Pee Wee had a great interview here, he nailed it perfectly and made me laugh all over again..

    Dave really went out of his way to provide a platform for truly original offbeat Comedy. Not just Pee-wee… You had Brother Theodore, Andy Kaufman And even Chris Elliott, who worked on the show. In looking back, you can see clearly how Dave enabled their humor on the show and played the straight man for them. I think he really relished the idea of paying it forward while showcasing what he thought of as truly original comedy. And it was. And he did.
