Pee-wee Lives! Meet the New York characters keeping his spirit alive (Video)

A Pee-wee pandemonium broke out in Brooklyn as fans flocked to Coney Island for the first-ever Pee-wee Herman lookalike contest — bowties, catchphrases, and childhood weirdness on full display. Contestants debated which borough Pee-wee would call home, and dropped iconic lines like, “I know you are, but what am I?” with unmatched flair. From Miss Yvonne cameos to a pitch for a Pee-wee-themed wooden coaster, this bash was as bizarre and beloved as the man himself.
