On Saturday Night Live's latest Digital Short, Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) and Andy Samberg end up on a bender which results in dancing on the bar, assaulting Anderson Cooper and a police officer with a chair. To view the video from NBC, click below.

The Pee Wee Herman Show opened to critical acclaim at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on Nov. 11, 2010. "The Pee-Wee Herman Show" is 90 minutes of subversive humor and childlike wonder based on both Reubens' original stage show, "The Pee-Wee Herman Show," and the Emmy®-winning Saturday morning TV show, "Pee-wee's Playhouse," which became a cultural phenomenon.

The Broadway production of "The Pee-Wee Herman Show" featured (in order of appearance): Paul Reubens as Pee-Wee Herman, plus John Moody (Mailman Mike), Drew Powell (Bear), John Paragon (Jambi), Jesse Garcia (Sergio), Phil LaMarr (Cowboy Curtis), Lynne Marie Stewart (Miss Yvonne), Lance Roberts (King of Cartoons) and Josh Meyers (Firefighter). Reubens also brought the Pee-wee character to the big screen in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" and "Big Top Pee-wee."

Paul Reubens' other credits include the TV series "30 Rock," "Pushing Daisies," "Reno 911!," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Family Guy" and "Murphy Brown" (which earned him an Emmy® nomination), and the feature films "Mystery Men," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Blow," "Life During Wartime," "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and the upcoming "Nailed."
