In the latest 'Saturday Night Live' digital short, seen on last night's episode, binge-drinking Andy Samberg is a good, old-fashioned bad influence...on Pee-wee Herman!
After the two down shots in a rowdy bar, Samberg leads Pee-wee (Paul Reubens) into a full-fledged bender of furniture-breaking debauchery even the cops can't stop. Friends try to stage an intervention, but the new BFFs fail to see it through for more than a few super-serious, barely sober seconds.
And out of nowhere, Anderson Cooper pops up, brandishing his secret weapon: his likeable talent for making fun of the gravitas that has made him a media star (only NBC anchor Brian Williams rivals him in the self-deprecation department).
Don't miss the moment when Pee-wee's sweet friend Chairy tells Cooper to "Get the #@*% off me!"
The episode, hosted by Gwyneth Paltrow, was a mixed bag, but drunk Pee Wee was a highlight.
'The Pee Wee Herman Show' continues to draw crowds on Broadway since the production opened in November. Some wonder if the Samberg short film will serve as an audition of sorts, persuading 'SNL' to rehire Pee Wee as a host (he first hosted an episode back in 1985). If it works, hundreds of fans on Facebook will celebrate with a Tequila. Dance, that is.
