Paul Reubens, The Artist Also Known As Pee-wee Herman
Phil invites his longtime friend and even longer-time hero Paul Reubens to Naked Lunch for a Big Adventure over lunch. This playful and ultimately revealing conversation over sandwiches from Monroe Place finds Phil, Paul & David discussing a wide-range of topics -- from Paul's education alongside classmates David Hasselhoff and Katey Sagal at Cal Arts to The Groundlings to his pre-fame work in restaurant kitchens to a wide range of unforgettable encounters with famous Pee Wee fans like Little Richard, Prince, Tom Petty, Joey Ramone and Clint Eastwood. Reubens explains two reasons he became a comedian. "I was terrible at math," he says, "and I didn't want to have to have to wear a suit to work." Here's a funny look at how Paul Reubens ended up in the suit of Pee Wee Herman and still wears it so well.
