James Corden Pays Homage To ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’ With ‘Secret Word’ Gag

etcanada.com:

James Corden is channelling some big “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” energy on “The Late Late Show”. After telling viewers he’s been watching “Pee-wee’s Playhouse”, the zany Saturday morning children’s TV show hosted by Paul Reubens’ alter ego, which ran from 1986 to 1991, Corden announced he was going to “straight-up steal” one of the series’ best gags. “I was watching it and I thought, We should just straight-up steal — we should steal — some of their ideas.

It was 30 years ago, it was on CBS — who’s gonna stop us? We’re not gonna get a cease & desist from ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’, and if we do, we’ll just cease,” he says.
