Man either the guy really thought he was going to beat this or he just needed a reason to hang on: "...he recently penned the first draft of his upcoming memoir. He had also put the finishing touches on two more Pee-wee movie scripts and was developing projects for television, including a variety show and a western called Fancypants."

Shame those won't see the light of day, at least not with his further involvement of course. That sounds like a ton of work. Source: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/paul-reubens-best-known-pee-170902189.html

Maybe Johnny Depp will play Pee-wee if those movies ever get made. (Depp was Reubens' pick to replace him.)

I really really really don’t want anyone else to play Pee-wee.

I'd be angry I think. There is only one pee wee

Exactly. I’ve never seen a spot on Pee-Wee impression. Some people can get the voice, but they never get the ever-changing facial expressions right.

the unedited memoir sounds worthy to experience

Beat it? Are we doing phrasing?
