Back in 1980, Paul Reubens auditioned for SNL. Thing is, so did Gilbert Gotfried. Gilbert got the role and Reubens wasn’t too happy about it. He decided to work on something that would be even more iconic than SNL.

He raised some money and created The Pee-Wee Herman Show. He won several Emmy’s for his work as Pee-Wee and became a cultural phenomenon.
