award to Will Ferrell, a stunned crowd exploded upon Herman's arrival.
"The goal for GUYS CHOICE was to let guys program the night themselves
through spiketv.com," said the show's Executive Producer Casey Patterson.
Over a million guys logged on, we listened, and we're thrilled to deliver
their choice for the return of one of the most beloved comedic icons of all
time. Pee Wee rules!"
Herman was last seen in 1992 at a tribute to Minnie Pearl at the Grand
