September 13, 1986 –
CBS allowed a strange, pale man, in an ill-fitting suit to come into their viewers homes when Pee-Wee’s Playhouse premiered on this date.
Throughout the entire series run, the closing credits have never credited Paul Reubens as Peewee Herman, but instead would display the other cast & guest stars first and then would display “and Peewee Herman as Himself“.
