- During his New York Comic Con 2019 panel, Paul Reubens was asked about the performance of Grace Jones during the Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special, when Grace sang "Little Drummer Boy". As it turns out, her rendition of the song was based on an arrangement for David Bowie, which led Reubens into a diatribe about partying with David Bowie and an odd Frank Sinatra connection. It's a long story that goes off on tangents, but that's just the way Reubens weaves his tales.

Paul was a classmate. On New Year's Eve 1968, I gave him a ride on my motorcycle to a party on Longboat Key. We were never great friends, but I liked him quite a bit. He was just a nice guy. I was very happy he found fame and fortune in Hollyweird. i did cry when I heard he passed. I was very disturbed he was ill for 6 years with cancer. That means in this clip, he was suffering from cancer. He once needed bail, was about $20 short, and his friend, working for the sheriffs dept, gave the last $20 to make bail. She got sent home for a day. Seems only family can do that if you are on the force. When he did come home to Sarasota, he hung out with the very same friends he had from high school. He was one of a kind, and he should not have had to suffer 6 years from cancer. It wasn't fair. A decent guy.
It's lovely to hear he was well-liked in h.s. and stayed in touch with his hometown friends. He seems to have also been a very devoted son to his parents, too.
Nobody should have to suffer from cancer
$40 short

Correction Police. Does 20 dollars matter?
What fascinating memories for you to share . While I never even met him Paul Reubens has been one of the few men in show biz of one kind or another, that I've found to have a mind and artistic expression that I've been forever drawn to. God bless him.
Not only should he have opened for Bowie, he should have made a deal so that Bowie would do a character on playhouse. It probably would have been an epic episode. Good story.
He 100% would of done it too. Wasn't he on the Muppets and Sesame Street?
Are you mocking a dead person? 😢😮
@@pgmurray76 I don't recall that, but he was in Labyrinth, which was a Jim Henson movie.
@@rorrimcigam Yeah, you are correct. No Muppets. No Sesame Street. He was so cool I felt like he did. I was at the 50th birthday celebration at MSG NYC decades ago. 97 Hallo Spaceboy was badass.
@@corabernal6432 No one is mocking. I followed Bowie and watched every Pee Wee's Playhouse episode twice, plus loved the Big Adventure movie.
Oh my, this man was one of a kind. While I mourn his passing, I am so gratified to hear and see how much he was adored. Legend.
paul is a pedophile and a hornball. he beats off in x-rated movie theaters then asks little boys to touch his naughty parts. he had an epic stash of kiddie p0rn in his house lmao. he was a sick fvck!
I read "I am so graffitied to hear..."
Legend? Lmao
@@BAKER22-l4u time to go back to your hidey-hole, internet troll.
@@BAKER22-l4u he was absolutely a legend. a legend at beating off in x-rated movie theaters and hoarding a huge stash of kiddie p0rn in his house.
I've always liked this guy and think he is very talented and got unwarranted publicity from "the incident." I used to talk my son to sleep by telling him over and over the plot to "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. So thank you Paul for helping me get my son to sleep when he was little. He especially like the part with Large Marge.
It was bullshit then, and now. I hate morality police. The guy is a real talent.
Large Marge was my favorite part when I was a kid! I used to love this guy
My brother would refuse to watch the Large Marge part. He was about 6. He still won't. He's 30 now.
Everyone deserves a second chance... I imagine he had to be pretty fn lonely to end up where he did doing what he was doing... sad.
+John C Which incident? The jerking or the raping of the runaways in LA in 2002?
We lost a legend. RIP to a true genius who touched sooo many lives, young and old.
Bless him 😇

He was NO legend
your a legend
Touched himself too. Apparently
@@voxac30withstrat he's the king of beating off in x-rated movie theaters
He’s a great story teller. Legend.
your a legend
My heaven would include this comic con panel with Paul Reubens endlessly answering questions in this enthralling, non sequitur fashion of his. 💝
Can you imagine developing a once in a life time character that’s world famous? What an incredible accomplishment.
Yes he made it into the vernacular which is more like immortality than anything
Ziggy stardust yeah
@@mister3566growing up my dad was Major Tom and my uncle was Ziggy and it was the best thing ever!!!
@@Tropicalpisces How?.😊

Great stories! I watched Pee wee's Playhouse religiously every Saturday morning for years. Genius.
Wow, what a tremendous man. Paul is definitely one of the most genuine, loving personality's that you would dearly have loved to have in your personal life. Whether you knew him, or not, he brought personal joy to you with his warm smile and personality. He made you laugh as Peewee, and he made you laugh as Paul. No wonder everyone misses him!
Hamburger Guy in Cheech and Chong's "Nice Dreams" one one of my favorite parts he played! The drug dealing beautician in "Blow" was another good one. 👍
the more I hear this man talk the more I adore him. I just think he is an amazing human being
Yeah. Public masturbation, hard drugs and hookers. He's a class act.
@@SpaceCattttt That's just the party life my dude.
+Mark ODay Same here. Who cares if he and the principal from Ferris Bueller's Day Off killed some runaways.
J Starr5 Did Ruebens do that by using his special jack off powers ay that x rated theater? Because thats what he got busted for. I never heard of him “ murdering runaways” . I imagine you have quite a few stories like that about famous people you just seem the type.
@@odaydrums He just raped them. Still a wonderful guy right?
I remember as a kid I idolized Grace after seeing her in Conan The Destroyer. I thought the whiny blonde princess was annoying. I wanted to be beautiful and badass like Grace/Zula and practice beating the shit out of a tree with a stick so I could be like her 😆 Then when she showed up on the Pee Wee Playhouse Christmas special (my favorite show) it was seriously one of the best Christmas times of my life. I miss being a kid in the 80’s. Love you Paul / Pee Wee! 🥰
I never thought I would miss this guy THIS MUCH ! It’s so surreal!
We ALL die
There's is definitely some Bowie-esque charm, style, imagination and wit within his PeeWee Herman character. I can see his Bowie influences a little clearer now. Both great artists.
What a cool guy he was.. and to think, it sounds like, even *David Bowie* thought he was cool. RIP paul reubens.
I’m saddened by the news of his passing but for some reason with Pee Wee aka Paul Reubens I feel and even bigger abundance of joy whenever I think about him. It says a lot about his spirit. 😊
One of the best human beings ever. And a gifted actor, as well.
Paul Reubens is like the ‘yin’ to John Waters’ ‘yang’. Two crazy old queens, but one with a decidedly light side and the other dark. But similar in their eccentric bent.
Sam Bacon Which one is straight? Honestly thought Paul Reubens was gay.
Craig Stroud love your take on this. I’ve ALWAYS loved Paul with all my heart and soul 🌈❤️🌈❤️🌈❤️
@Sam Bacon: Wait, what? John Waters is straight?
....met John at an art galley exhibit of his outrageous photography....he shared a show with the amazing iconic fashion photographer director HERB RITTS....John was extremely nice....he wore one of the best suits i have ever seen on a man....he is also very tall....six four easily....as for Herb...he felt very sorry for PAUL....and photographed him for one of his books....and said openly that his.....incident in the theater was ridiculous for people and the police to be so damning of him...and Herb really took a chance shooting him....Paul was considered too hot to touch at the time....these stories he just shared are brilliant....he really was so....sly with his work...underrated genius...
Waters is def gay.
I will never stop mourning the passing of Paul and Bowie. Cancer has taken so many bright lights from us.
Always liked Paul Reubens and I like him more as I listen. His stories have stories. I even had to point out every time I saw him offer the champaign to the Blues Brothers. Hope he makes some more films for us.
I love hearing stories about old Hollywood especially when told by icons like Paul Reubens who was actually there and was apart of it all. So great!
Old Hollywood? Lol.
@@61lastchild i'm only 2o
You’d think that a nerd event might have an audio nerd that is capable of producing decent sound.
Hahahaa I know!
Not used to kive sound nowadays just nerd studio tans on a laptop
Ya know, It's only now watching these videos of his life that I realize how cool Paul actually is and was. No wonder Conan O'Brien had such a tough time when Paul passed. Not having a friend like Paul around anymore would be tough.
Just came across this video and oh my! So glad I did! I'm a lifelong Bowie fan & hearing this from Paul makes me love them both even more. Paul is such an amazing storyteller, could listen to him share his experiences all day. His subtle humor is so endearing, his humbleness and how he speaks to every crowd as if they're lifelong friends... He was truly a special person. RIP sweet soul ❤ Ps... I saw Bowie live, when I was 16, during his Glass Spider Tour (and was already a huge Pee Wee fan too!), and it would have been the icing on the cake if Paul would have been his opening act! ❤
He is Awesome! 😊 I can listen to his stories for hours...
He’s a great storyteller.
Love you Paul. Thanks for giving me and so many others some of the best childhood memories.
RIP you blessed child of a man - and I say that with love. He was always young at heart... He will be missed.
RIP to such a kind humble man.
You are missed.
May you be adored for many generations to come.
We will miss you Paul. Rest in peace.
I could listen to him talk about this stuff all day. Nice we have some of it. This guy was NEVER under any impression he was better than anyone else despite fame. Seemed genuinely awed to be a part of it.
What a dear guy. Brought so much laughter to the world.
Awe this was wonderful. 😄 Hilarious, sweet and gentle man. RIP Paul Reubens🌹
now he's beating off in hell lol
Bowie did his Little Drummer Boy from a special in the early 70s he did with Bing Crosby of all people.
Miss you Paul Reubens would have loved to had the chance to meet you. Very talented and watched your show, pee wees playhouse religously
Despite all the controversy I have always liked this man. May he rest in peace.
I love name-dropping stories. I wanted to hear more.
I love his style of raconteuring! Paul Reubens was awesomeness!
Rest in Peace, Paul 🎉❤
I remember Grace Jones on his Christmas Special in the 80s.
Was it any good ? I haven’t seen it .
Tommy Salami Do you mean in a good way ?
Oh it was very good. A copy of it is on youtube.
DetroitLives313 Just saw it and you’re right🌟🌟🌟🥇🌟🌟🌟🌟
This story is sounding like a family conversation I had last week (Grace Jones, Morgan Freeman and a few others mentioned) coincidentally my brother met Michael Jackson and said how nice he was too! RIP Mr Reubens
I'm so freaking sad that I missed NYCC this year 😓. This Paul Reuben interview was BE-YOND!
I am still crying because I didn't go to see Paul rubens
new york city city
It makes me sad to think that Paul Rubens is gone… such a lovely person.
Great stories shared. Thank you, Mr. Reubens.
Our family always loved PeeWee,especially my mother,my daughter at 30 yrs goes into the Miss Yvonne charcter "Is she prettier than me" she will say to everything,super funny.
I love this story! Bowie and Pee Wee now that was great. My cat is named Bowie he is beautiful just like David Bowie. Pee Wee you will be missed. Thank you for the laughter! ❤️🩷❤️
Wow! What amazing stories Paul Reubens had to tell!! I think this was the one and only time I've seen him 100% as Paul Reubens and not as the one and only, "Pee Wee Herman". He was such a likeable person regardless if he's Pee Wee Herman that day or just Paul Reubens!!! Rest in Peace, P. W. Herman / P. Reubens.
Paul Rubens could have a second career as a storyteller. I can't stand watching celebrities drone on about themselves (I don't care about your new movie), but Paul I could listen to all day. Actually, I have and would never ask anyone for an autograph, or a photo. However, I might be tempted to try and get a pic with Paul....Ehh, probably not....
Stars have to talk about their new movies, it's part of their contract to market them.
Actually you're talking on and on about yourself Scott McMan
Grace Jones singing The Little Drummer Boy in Peewee’s Playhouse is the only version of that song that matters.
Facts RIP Mr. Reubens! ▶ th-cam.com/video/98JrWm9IMMA/w-d-xo.html
Ridiculous
I am so sorry he is gone. We never saw him enough. He was great.
Can't help but to watch anything with Paul on it. He's given me so much to laugh at in an otherwise dreary world. Great stories!
He should have worn the cape.
Finally, something the world can agree on! #WearTheCape
With the SHOES from Tequila!
I love Paul Rubens' humor. I've wondered about his name. My favorite book is a strange magical nature book published in 1920 titled then as "The Story of Opal". It was republished as "The Singing Creek Where The Willows Grow". She names all of her animal and other natural friends. There is a list of names at the beginning where she describes - "Peter Paul Rubens - A very dear pet pig."
David Bowie hanging out with Paul Reubens is so cool !!!!
A true legend. His 'PlayHouse' episodes, will always be special to me & my nephews. They were better than any other kids shows then & now. Rest in peace, Paul.
He was so funny, even when he wasn't being PW. Love this video!
Just adore him, RIP Paul Reubens
I love old Hollywood stories! RIP Big Top
RIP Paul. Loved what you did
Pee Wee and Bo Wie
This comment needs more likes. ^^
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
He'd been fighting cancer 2 years at this point.
Omgosh. You AND David ???? My childhood wouldve been complete.
These videos, and ones like it, really show what a treasure we lost.
David Bowie sang "The LIttle Drummer Boy" as a guest on a Bing Crosby holiday special. I was visiting my
parents, watching this Bing Crosby Christmas special, when a door-bell ring interrupted him. When he opened
the door David Bowie walked in, a total surprise. That's where his arrangement probably came from.
Life has it's way with all of us, but we all seem to come out the other side a much better and wiser.
Paul, you’ve always been my hero!
Your hero? What?
@@BAKER22-l4uHere again.
R.I.P. Paul AKA Pee Wee 🌹♥️🙏 you'll live forever friend
Loved Paul, never ‘deserted’ him when it was popular to do so, and miss him a ton.
I miss you buddy! I ❤❤Thank you for enriching my childhood and my life. RIP you beautiful soul!
Rip peewee.... This guy Paul Ruben deserves better... Such an amazing guy.. sir you will never be forgotten.... How many stories he had to tell... We only know a few but facts ....
Great interview from a great man!
I flippin love Paul. He used to live in my neck of the woods (Sarasota, FL). I'm in St. Pete. If you're still in the area, Paul, let me buy you a drink!!! 🙂❤
Pee Wee stories! Should have written a book. His chemistry with Letterman on The Late Night was fantastic....
A real artist.
Paul and Bowie probably hanging out together in the heavens, perfect. 😁
What GREAT stories. I already miss him... what a great a talent.
Love you forever, PW.
I will always live Paul 💌💌💌💌💌 His show was and is iconic 😍😍😍😍😍
How charming, sweet, and real he is here. And funny, of course. RIP.
p.s. I wish they'd release that doc!
Bowie and Mr. Reuben`s at The Underground in NYC. Great....
I couldn't love this story (stories?!) more.
Pee-Wee Herman and Frank Sinatra had the exact same suit fitting size 🤯🤯. Fact really is stranger than fiction.
So NOT true
@@BAKER22-l4u Paul is only 2 inches taller but he did wear short pants as Pee-Wee. Tell me both of their sizes sense apparently you know for sure.
@@BAKER22-l4uAgain
What a treasure he was.
That was great!!! Made me smile early in the morning⭐😊😎
Remember when he was in the Church and Chong movies?Good times
It's "Church and Song" movie
Man...you gave all our money to the hamburger man
@@thelemonddropskid5445 yeah, i remember that cat.
He was so great in Blow.
My oldest son and I watched Pee Wee's playhouse every Saturday when my son was a toddler. Broke my heart when he got busted in Sarasota...
Loved Pee Wee. I was a little old for him but me and my friends used to watch him when we were high. Little known fact!!!! Twisted Sister loved Pee Wee!!! They were in one of his movies singing one of their songs!!!!
😂I love Paul Reubens!!!
Found a Pee Wee Herman doll in a dumpster once and gave it to my boy, he cherished it. One of a kind. RIP Paul.
lol, he ended with "I love that story"
I always enjoyed Paul & mourn his passing-I just loved his work with Depp in the movie ‘Blow’, being chased after asking the wrong people about weed in Mexico.
...I love that story.
Fantastic story.
I love that little klepto
He was such a lovely man.
“ take me take me.....” LoL?..Really good drugs back in the day thank goodness because we got the stories ha ha Ha
"Heard any good jokes lately?"
I remember that. It was such a big welcome back for Pee-Wee.
🙌❤️
Dudes a legend .
your a legend
They should have hired a sound guy who actually knew how to mic him so that people could hear him properly.
