The childlike Pee-wee Herman character developed as a stage act that quickly led to an HBO special in 1981.

This paved the way for ''Pee-wee's Playhouse'', an Emmy Award-winning children's series that ran on CBS from 1986 to 1991. Another film, ''Big Top Pee-wee'', was released in 1988, and after a lengthy hiatus, a third film, ''Pee-wee's Big Holiday'', was released by Netflix in 2016.
