After Paul Reubens’ passing earlier this week, many celebrities have posted tributes to honor him, and the latest is Rob Zombie.
He posted to his official Instagram about his experience working on the set of Pee-wee’s Playhouse:
So sad to hear about death of Paul Rubens. He was amazing. Back in 1986 I was lucky enough to be working at a place called Broadcast Arts in NYC when they announced they were doing his new show Pee Wee’s Playhouse. It was a very unconventional set up with the playhouse built in a loft space on Broadway, not a sound stage. I can still remember his first day in the office. Everyone was waiting for Pee Wee to step off the elevator when the doors opened out stepped Paul looking exactly like his mugshot. He took one look at the live band playing Tequila, rolled his eyes and walked straight into a meeting. Everyone was bummed. I thought it was hilarious. Only talked to him once. He asked me where the restroom was and I said “ right over there”. After the first season they moved the whole show to California and the rest is history. #rippeeweeherman
