Pee-wee Herman Gets Radio Show on KCRW/Santa Monica

Pee-wee Herman

Pee-wee Herman, the iconic character created by actor Paul Reubens, is getting his own radio show on KCRW, the popular National Public Radio station based in Santa Monica, Calif., and will be accompanied by his pals Chairry, Magic Screen and Miss Yvonne. A rep for the station tells Variety that for now, it will be just one show on Nov. 26 at 6 p.m. PT (and available on demand for one week after airing), but who knows what could happen after that?

In a press release, Pee-wee announced, "I am going to be a DJ on a new radio show airing on KCRW! I'm so excited, it's my very first one! I mailed them a letter, which got lost (apparently!), and then tagged them on Twitter and THEN they didn't believe it was me until my biggest, bestest, most amazing fans called and called and jammed up their phone lines (hee hee)! Thank you fans because they are going to get me some donuts and leave me the keys to the studio while they are on vacation!"
