    Thank you for taking us on this visit. I have always Loved John Paragon. His comedy routines with Paul and solo have made me laugh. My sister and I always loved Pee Wee Play house. She was a proud member of Pee Wee's fanclub before she died. We watched them a lot. You taught me more about Pee Wee. I will miss them both..... Swiggy too❤️Much Love.

    I’m a teenager, but my parents were both children of the 80s. I grew up watching Pee-Wee on DVD because of them. As a weird little kid (who is still just as weird now), I was hooked on the show. It became a big part of my childhood. I had no idea the actor who played Jambi passed. It’s sad to hear, but I’m so glad he got that awesome urn as he final resting place.

  • @DMfilmfan

    Two deaths in recent years really shook me: John's and Gilbert Gottfried's. RIP John, I wish you a peaceful and happy afterlife! Hopefully Jambi will grant that final wish for you. 1:03 what a depressing statement, that there are young people who are unaware of Pee Wee's Playhouse.

I was not a child when Jambi came into my life, but I can understand the meaning of childhood memories of incredible people who ushered us into understanding human life... My childhood take back was Captain Kangaroo (I'm such a gen Xer), and I have those great memories, as well... Loved the Pee Wee's Playhouse as a teenager/young 20 something.... Thanks, for taking us along GriMMs!..... :^)"""""""

    The movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" came out when I was 18. Big hit amongst my friends and myself. This rolled over to watching Pee Wee's Playhouse stoned on Saturday mornings with my roommates in like 1987. We loved it. I do remember Jambi and a slew of other bizarre characters on the show. They made us howl laughing while eating large salad bowls full of Captain Crunch!

I grew up loving the PeeWee Herman movies, then I actually watched PeeWee’s Playhouse as an older kid that didn’t watch cartoons anymore and was happily surprised as a teenager to find Paul Reuben’s in Cheech and Chong movies and then when we got HBO or maybe SuperTV seen PeeWee’s first playhouse he did live for adults. After he got in trouble I swore for years he was in that purple dinosaur costume as Barney and was sad to find out it wasn’t Paul. Thank you. This was fun to watch. RIP Jambi.

Directly taken from Paragon's character (and now clearly, a sandwich shop).
