<p dir="auto">In 1980, he failed in his audition for <strong>Saturday Night Live</strong>.</p>
<p dir="auto">In 1981, he debuted his stage show of <strong>Pee-wee's Playhouse</strong>. This shot him into stardom.  It was here that he decided to publicly be Pee-wee Herman.</p>
<p dir="auto">In 1991, he was arrested for jerking off in an adult porn theater, in Florida.  He was basically cancelled because of this.</p>
<p dir="auto">In 1999, he made his comeback in <strong>Mystery Men</strong>.  He no longer publicly lived as Pee-wee Herman, rather returned to being Paul Reubens.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>TV Guide</strong> said the Pee-wee's Playhouse (both 1980s and 2000s runs of the show combined) was the 6th biggest TV cult classic and the Pee-wee Herman character was the 4th biggest TV cult classic.</p>
<p dir="auto">Paul has been fighting cancer (type unknown, as I post this) for the last 6 years but kept that quiet from virtually everyone.  He wrote an apology letter a few days before dying, to be released only after his death, saying he was sorry for not saying something earlier.</p>
