0:00It's April 18th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, your front row to the latest buzz. I'm Cory with the story. Kelle Mitchell just dropped the gem on the Big Bro with Kid Cuddy Podcast, reminiscing about working with Paul Rubens on the late 1990s cult. Hit Mystery Men. That quirky superhero flick starred in All Star Crew, like Ben Stiller, Greg Keneer, and William H. Macy, with Rubens bringing his Pee Wee Herman. Live as the spleen, Mitchell, now 47, grew up glue to Pee Wee's playhouse, so sharing scenes with his idol felt straight out of a dream. They hung out plenty since their characters overlapped, and Rubens kept the energy high every single day. For Mitchell, it was mind-blowing watching Rubens dip around Hit, like seeing Pee Wee himself roll up on set. The late actor, who passed in 2023 at 70, exceeded every expectation with non-stop laughs. Rubens had this scooter to navigate the massive set, turning routine moments into highlights.
