- <p> There he was, a bit plumper perhaps, and maybe a tad less
- jumpy, but still gloriously goofy, Pee-wee Herman! Making his
- first public appearance since his July arrest for masturbating
- in a movie theater, Pee-wee was the surprise opening act at
- last week's televised MTV awards in Los Angeles. The audience
- gave him a long, exuberant standing ovation, a touching tribute
- to his indefatigable immaturity. "Heard any good jokes lately?"
- asked Pee-wee. Then, alluding to the all-too-easy jokes that
- have been made at his expense, he answered with a signature
- line: "So funny I forgot to laugh!"
