- Paul Reuben, best known for his role as Pee-wee Herman, has tragically passed away. Celebrate his life with one his most iconic comic roles: Prince Gerhardt on 30 Rock.
Paul Reubens was an American actor, comedian, writer, producer, and children's entertainer. He was known for his character Pee-wee Herman. Reubens joined the Los Angeles troupe The Groundlings in the 1970s, and started his career as an improvisational comedian and stage actor. In 1982, Reubens began appearing in a show about a character he had been developing for years. The show was called The Pee-wee Herman Show, and ran for five sold-out months; HBO also produced a successful special about it. Pee-wee became an instant cult figure and, for the next decade, Reubens was completely committed to his character, doing all of his public appearances and interviews as Pee-wee. His feature film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985), directed by Tim Burton, was a financial and critical success, and soon developed into a cult film.
30 Rock follows Liz Lemon, head writer of a sketch comedy show, as she deals with her arrogant boss and eccentric stars. Regardless, she must run the TV show successfully without losing her mind. The show stars Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski.

The fact that Paul Rubens created one of the most memorable characters in a single episode of a show that was filled with seven seasons of great characters speaks volumes of his talent. No one else could have played this part and made it so memorable.
He was a genius, an amazing actor
@@stephanie3848You beat me to it. I was about to comment he was a comedic genius.
I miss this fool.
RIP to a comedy legend. May he rest in peace.
Peace*

This character was alllll Paul- from the teeth, the leprocy, the ill-sized prosthetic hand and my favorite, the fake legs. I've watched this episode about one million times and it still makes me giggle like a school girl
What was this called? It is absolutely hilarious
I don't believe you've watched it 1 million times, and wtf is leprocy?
@sarys73 Are you 2yrs old? Get a dictionary and start learning new words, phrases and meanings. Sure, she hasn't seen it a million times she's exaggerating to get her point across, meaning she loves it she's seen it a "million times", and it's also called a hyperbole. I seriously doubt you know what that means, either. Hey, remember, knowledge is power!
Paul is also a self professed birthday freak. He must've had so much fun with this.
@@redcross6963 Leprocy isn't going to be in a dictionary because the word is leprosy lol
I've always felt that I could have used a lot more Paul Rubens comedy throughout the years. He was so inspired.
How is it that you know HE was “so inspired”?
@@cwg73160 EXACTLY. more like "Very fucking TROUBLED'.
yeah, dude got blackballed in such an unfair manner. such a unique guy.
@@strongbongus
I mean…was it unfair? He’s doing a kids show and gets caught spankin in public. Not a good look. But he came back later on and had several memorable roles, such as this.
it was a place that people did that stuff man. not exactly the park@@roems6396
In the mid 80s, Paul and I used to hang out at a laser tag stadium in Kenilworth, NJ, called Photon. It was similar to Laser Tag, except it was way better, and way ahead of its time! Great memories! See you in Heaven, Paul!
The part we're she's like your 25 . And paul is like yes can you believe it. And that scream that was a laugh . Killed me. You always made me laugh and brightened my day pee wee. We all miss you friend.
"Finally old enough to rent a car" 😂
Never seen this till today. Freaking hilarious and amazing performance. You'll be missed!
A true comedy genius. Rest well, Paul.
This memorable episode was from the first season. It was called "Black Tie" -- it aired on February 1, 2007. Amazing how time flies. Almost 18 years ago (February 2025).
Omg this is hilarious. How did I miss it. “AHHHHHKKK, AHHHHHHK! It feels good to laugh” lmao. RIP pee wee!
This is one of those cameos i flipped out on cause i just never could have saw this coming. Paul though gone, will be remembered for eternity.❤
Can't stop watching this iconic role of his! He made it his own and it is truly hilarious! Miss you Paul.
R.I.P it broke my heart when I heard about his passing....it just sticks to you, I'm trying to process that this is happening today
A genius performance. Paul Reubens was a treasure. May he rest in peace.
This episode was called "Black Tie" -- it aired during the very first season on February 1, 2007. Amazing how that was almost 18 years ago (Feb 2025).
This character is hysterical.
I always remember this sketch, one of the funniest on 30 Rock! How everyone else could keep a straight face is beyond me!
This is priceless and genius all at the same time. Love this one. Paul Reubens will always be one-of-a kind.
Out of everything Paul did as this character, that scream for a laugh was absolutely genius! Hokey smokes, I'm going to miss him. My Pee-Wee's Playhouse season 1 and 2 DVD arrived yesterday. I know what I'm watching tonight.
The overly loud birthday thanks announcement is one of the funniest lines I’ve ever seen. My kids say it every year!
Joe I’m pushing my wife to say this on her 40 th bday it’s just hysterical
Underrated actor. Thanks for all the good times, Paul. Rest well.
I laughed so freakin' hard when I saw this for the first time, and it STILL makes me laugh.... so brilliant!
Never saw this...better late than never. So sad he's no longer with us, but what an amazing life, and Pee-Wee will rock forever. ❤☮🌎
RIP, Sir. You were one of a fucking kind. Innocent and beautifully demented.
I forgot how utterly hilarious 30 Rock is! 🤣🤣🤣
Wow impressive character work.
2:44 I never watched this show but this had me rolling! 🤣💀
rip Paul Reubens 🙏🕊️
The Saturday before Paul had passed, something prompted me to watch this scene from 30 Rock. Then, to find out on Monday that he had passed away on Sunday night is something that will forever stay in my mind. I have been saddened by many of my favorite celebrities passing away, but so far, no celebrity death has ever been as heartbreaking as Paul’s.
I started learning about him through his Pee-wee Herman character back in 2006. I was 12 years old at that time. I started watching Pee-wee’s Playhouse when it would air on Cartoon Network. Then, I watched Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Then, I would look forward to watching him on late night talk shows as a guest. I watched more of his work and even followed his FB page. That being said, I will miss him dearly.
Underrated great actor who should have been in a lot more roles… RIP Pee Wee
"Jazz! Tap! Jitterbug! Charleston! Interpretive! Twirl! Twirl again! Keep twirling!!"
So talented. Can transform into anybody.
We've lost so many great comedic actors the last few years. For what it's worth, Paul Reubens is in good company. Hopefully he's having a good laugh with Norm and Gilbert, not to mention the many that passed before. R.I.P., Mr. Paul Reubens. 🙏
And his fellow groundlings who worked with him, and passed before him. Phil Hartman and John Paragon.
@@goofusmaximus1482 Well said, Goofus. 🙏
This role and his stint on Murphy Brown are both perfection attained.
He will be terribly missed. RIP Paul.
"It feels good to laugh." Ahahahaha! 30 Rock was and still is a great show.
Paul Reubens was and always will be the most unique, incredibly talented, hard working like no one has ever seen, actors and comedians on this planet. I will always hold him up with the highest regard and I hope when he passed he truly realized just how many people truly loved him. ❤
I've never seen this. So talented! He could/should have done so much more. RIP Paul.
A true legend of comedy. He will be missed. RIP Paul Reubens.
Paul Reubens was so much more than Pee Wee Herman. God I'm going to miss him.
What a creative and hilarious man. He will be missed by so many.
Paul was an amazing actor. So under appreciated.
I had no idea that was Paul Reubens playing the Hapsburg-ess character. Loved it
How did I never see this? What an incredible comedy master. 😂😂 I'm really gonna miss Mr Reubens.
Wow, I didn’t even know that was him. Legendary. Rest in peace ❤
You can tell he loved this role! I'm going to miss you. R.i..p
Thanks for everything, Paul. Rest in peace kind sir.
R.I.P. this scene was hilarious!
A true funny comedian. Rest in peace, Paul, and thank you for the wonderful years of entertainment
"you forgot to say the magic wooooord!!"
he'll always be a part of my childhood
I did not realize that was Paul Reubens when I watched the show. This character was truly hilarious.
I’ve never seen this clip before and it was phenomenal
It’s too bad we never had the chance to see him in more character roles. He was brilliant in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Blow, and I wanted to see more. Like Depp, he probably had a menagerie of bizarre characters within him.
Now, who do you know could create a character like this one but Paul Reubens. NO ONE !!!!!
Comedic Genius, God Bless
Wow, this is a great character 😂
The way he hollars reminds me of my family sometimes. This is so funny.
Oh, I needed that laugh today! Thank you, Paul!! RIP
If I was ever in the background, I'd be laughing the whole time, ruining the shot. 😂
OMG I had no idea Paul R had this range of comedy talents! 😂😂😂 wow we all needed more of this RIP legend
OMG, what a great find.
Loved the squeaking of the chair.
Paul Rueben is greatly underrated! I love all of his work!
When it comes to a movie like mystery men I can never forget peewee
One of the funniest.
Thank you for getting this ready so quickly…… 😢
OMG, I forgot all about this! Hahahahahaha. Gerhardt is truly horrifying. RIP Paul Reuben.
Omg I've never seen this. I laughed so hard.
I never knew that was Pee Wee. He will be missed.
I watched this incredulous that it was Reubens. Dude was surely gifted.
I just want to point out that the background music is an instrumental version of "My Funny Valentine," and if you know the words this is hilarious given the context: "Is your figure less than Greek / Is your mouth a little weak / When you open it to speak / Are you smart?"
Omg I never knew Paul did this one. Absolute legend.
This episode from the first season was called "Black Tie" -- it aired on February 1, 2007. Amazing how time flies. Almost 18 years ago (February 2025).
Paul Reubens lives on! And Will Forte is pretty great too
I'm just barely seeing this now amd goddammit I'm crying from laughing my.balls off. RIP Paul! 🎭
This is right on par with him as the vampire ending in Buffy-the Movie.
1:43 So frickin' funny !!! I forgot how great 30 Rock was. This episode was hilarious
Fav episode
RIP Paul. Too hysterical.
An absolute gem! lol
Peeweeeee 😢😢😢 RIP my childhood hero 🙏🏽❤️
so incredible. loved him.
That is comedy gold! Hilarious.
BRILLIANT!!!!
he can not metabolize the grapes. epic
I think this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen on tv.
RIP. What a genius.
This absolutely hilarious!
I loved this episode, I didn't6 know it was Paul.
My god the roles he could have done over the next 10 years. we lost him too soon.
4:30 I didn’t realize that Dr. Spaceman is also a royal physician.😅
Cannot believe I just saw this for the first time! There's a little bit of "Dr. Strangelove" in Paul's character, which is a great idea.
anytime i want to reference how inbred royals were, i use this episode as an example lmao. i love his character in this episode. RIP pee-wee, you were an amazing comedian.
"Oh! It feels good to laugh!' 🤣
Peewee thanks for the memories.
Thank you Paul.
I am a pee wee fan forever
Rest in peace
I remember this! I didn't know it was Pee Wee!
Reuben was a genius.
His death scene in Buffy i still remember to this day 20+ years later and still makes me laugh
Amazing
Hope to see more of him
Paul, we all loved you! RIP
A funny valentine indeed.
