Roland Rodriguez as Tito the Lifeguard on ‘Pee-Wee’s Playhouse’ during season 1 (1986). At the end of the season CBS let him go as the character was not well received by parents and replaced with a new Latino actor/character.
I’m not sure if he was anything after Gotham.. but I am glad I got to see him act in his later years and I thoroughly enjoyed the character which he portrayed. He really was a great great actor outside of the pee wee Herman persona. And peewee Herman is a staple in my life
No no no. It says he wasn't well-received. Many complaints about how his attire wasn't appropriate or realistic, as lifeguards are supposed to wear speedos.

Its CBS, so was the new character named Chaco Taco?
HotPinkk
No. Tito the Lifeguard is replaced by Ricardo the Soccer Star

He was good in his guest appearance on Buffy. He committed to characters fearlessly.

Looks like Paul Reubens was very impressed with the character.

Paul Reubens was allowed to cast 1 character per his contract.

He's the reason I used to have the kids wake me up to watch PeeWee's Playhouse with them.

It's just a dude with his shirt off. What's the problem?

Hegseth wants to test his testosterone

Is this Kegsbreath's training video for checking the troop's testosterone levels?
HotPinkk
He’s Latino. They wanna send ICE after him.
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
He would send ICE after Latino actors. He would never send ICE after Latinos in service jobs he doesnt want to do.
Vesorias
Yes he would, because he doesn't think that far ahead

"not well received by parents" too many SAHM suddenly wanting to go to Cancun?
hyptosis
Yeah, suddenly mom wanted to watch Playhouse with the kids I suspect. Upset people.
spinbutton3
You act like Cowboy Curtis wasn't already there
HotPinkk
Probably didn’t like that he wore nothing but small swim shorts and flip flops every time he appeared.
Paul Reubens original vision for the character was to represent the Latino beefcake types that were all over the NYC gay scene. CBS nipped that quick.
They gave him full control of the show from the start but stepped in a few times over its 5 seasons
Arenlor
Did he always have flip flops even?
Aranon1183
Wasn't Reubens bi?
wadatahmydamie
I didn’t know he liked women
Aranon1183
Oh. So he was gay. I dunno why I was thinking bi.
