My first guest was the star
of the TV series "Pee-Wee's Playhouse,"
and the hilarious film "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure."
His new HBO special, "The Pee-Wee Herman Show on Broadway"
premieres March 19th.
Please welcome Pee-Wee Herman!
(Pee-Wee screams) (audience applauds)
(upbeat music)
[Pee-Wee] Hello!
I'll be right there!
(Pee-Wee screams)
Conan, here I come!
Ooh.
(Pee-Wee screams)
Watch this!
(Pee-Wee screams)
(Pee-Wee crashes into set)
Pee-wee.
Are you all right? Yeah!
Hi, Pee-wee. (indistinct)
Thank you!
That was amazing!
Thank you!
Hello.
That was an incredible entrance.
Oh, thanks, thanks.
Nothing like water skiing.
(all laugh)
And you're dry as a bone, it's amazing.
Dry as a bone! It's a miracle!
(audience laughs)
So nice to have you here, Pee-wee.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You know, one of my favorite things,
whenever you come to visit me,
you always bring a special toy or a gadget.
Something that's amusing you recently.
And I will not let you down tonight!
Okay. (audience laughs)
Oh, it's right here.
Yeah, what have you got there?
Oh, it's called the phony phone ring.
Get off the phone phony phone ringer excuse.
If you're on the phone
and somebody's yakking away
and you're trying to get off the phone,
you push these different buttons.
You know, you go like,
(police siren sounds)
"Oh, I'm sorry, I have to get off the phone."
(audience laughs)
I can't figure this one...
This is for static in your car.
(sound of static plays)
"I'm sorry! What?
"I can't hear you! (audience laughs)
"I can't hear you!
"I have to call you back, okay?"
Uh-huh, what else you got there?
(doorbell rings)
(audience laughs)
Someone's at the door.
"Someone's at my door,
"I hope they don't wake up the baby,
"I hope they don't wake up- (baby cries)
(audience laughs) "Oh, no!
"Shut up!
"Daddy's gonna freak out!
"Shut up!"
Here, listen to this one.
(door knocks)
[Man] Chinese food.
(audience laughs)
It works every time. It works really good.
That's absurd, I love that.
Okay, well what else did you bring for us, Pee-Wee?
Oh, I got one more thing here I wanted to show you.
It's my balloon trick.
Do you mind if I stand?
No, not at all. You're Pee-Wee Herman.
You do what you want. (Pee-Wee laughs)
Okay, balloon trick.
Can't wait to see this.
All right.
Wish we had blown the balloon up first.
(audience laughs)
(Conan laughs)
(Pee-Wee squeaks balloon)
This is my favorite part.
(balloon squeaks)
What are you doing?
(audience laughs)
All right! (audience laughs)
That's...
(audience laughs)
Please stop it! (audience laughs)
(audience applauds)
(Pee-Wee laughs)
Gah! (audience laughs)
Just kidding.
