Pee-wee Herman is a comedy character created and portrayed by the American comedian Paul Reubens. He starred in films and television series during the 1980s. The childlike Pee-wee Herman character developed as a stage act that quickly led to an HBO special in 1981. As the stage performance gained further popularity, Reubens took the character to motion picture with Pee-wee's Big Adventure in 1985, toning down the adult innuendo for the appeal of children. This paved the way for Pee-wee's Playhouse, an Emmy Award-winning children's series that ran on CBS from 1986 to 1991. Another film, Big Top Pee-wee, was released in 1988.
When prog rock pioneers Yes released their eighth studio album Going for the One in 1977, they hit the road on a wold tour to support it. With 92 scheduled tour dates, the band kicked things off on July 30, 1977 in Toledo, Ohio, traversed North America, headed over to Europe, and finished their road show on December 6,1977 in Paris, France.
