Randy

Randy (performed by Wayne White) is the main antagonist. He is a red-headed string puppet who serves as the playhouse bully, usually making life miserable for Pee-wee and the playhouse characters. He once started a fire in the playhouse, and also talked Pee-wee into prank-calling police officer Daryl (George McGrath) on the Picturephone, suggesting that he might be a juvenile delinquent.

In Thing Party,

He is guilty, in the future series, Randy takes the Fish’s tank and drinks the water of the Fish’s tank and drops it. Pee-wee is so upset that Randy gets sent to jail with the Magic Screen as a punishment.

In The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway, Randy takes the place of puppet character Monsieur LeCroq (originally voiced and puppeteered by the late Phil Hartman).

Appearance

Randy has white skin, red freckles, and red hair in a flat-top, and wears a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and black-and-white shoes, to resemble how male bullies typically looked in the 1980s (when the show was filmed).

Randy strongly resembles legendary marionette Howdy Doody.
