Pee-wee Herman writes: "I'm sad to report that Gilbert Lewis passed away recently. Gilbert is the actor who played the King of Cartoons in the first season of Pee-wee's Playhouse, back in 1986 when it was filmed in New York City. His part was recast because of expense when we moved the production to California."
