Among the many special guests and musical collaborators on Pee-Wee's Playhouse were Cyndi Lauper, Todd Rundgren, The Residents, Danny Elfman, Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), George Clinton, Scott Thunes and Dweezil Zappa. Some of the sets were designed by Gary Panter, while Mark Beam provided sculptures.
