Paul Reubens

Paul Reubens, who is best remembered for playing the phenomenally successful character "Pee-wee Herman," had a ton of success in the 1980s on TV and in the movies. But in 1991, following his arrest for indecent exposure at an adult theater in Sarasota, Florida, his career took a sharp turn for the worse. His five-knuckle shuffle produced a number of gags, including: What is Pee-wee Herman's favorite food? in addition to providing fodder for the tabloids. Stroganoff.

Reubens opted to enter a not guilty plea and consented to performing 75 hours of community service. Later, he would receive positive reviews for a number of performances, including those on Murphy Brown, Reno 911, and The Blacklist. Reubens revived his bow-tied, man-child alter ego in 2009 with a popular stage production, and five years later he featured in Pee-Big wee's Holiday, a Netflix original movie.
