Emmy®-winning comedian Jerrod Carmichael returns to the stage for his fourth HBO stand-up special. Jerrod Carmichael is an Emmy®-winning comedian from Winston-Salem, N.C.

The HBO Original two-part documentary Pee-wee as Himself, directed by Matt Wolf (HBO's The Stroll), debuts Friday, May 23 (8:00 p.m.-11:20 p.m. ET/PT) with both parts airing back-to-back on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

Driven by a soul-baring interview with Paul Reubens, the man behind the iconic character Pee-wee Herman, Pee-wee as Himself is the definitive portrait of the comedic performer, and a window into his never before discussed personal life. Determined to correct the record and tell the factual story of his life, Reubens excavates his kaleidoscopic influences, origins in the circus and avant-garde performance theater, and career choices, while reflecting on the reasoning behind, and the consequences of, severing his beloved alter ego from his authentic self.
