Dick Destiny:

(September 1991, abridged) Soupy Sales, the unforgettable character of comedy, the man who was drummed off the air by the FCC when an anonymous harridan complained to the agency after a New Year’s Eve broadcast in which Sales asked the children to sneak into their parents’ bedrooms, collect all the green paper with people’s faces on it and send it to him.

1991: Pee-Wee Herman was drummed off the air, roughly in conjunction with getting busted for “masturbating during an adult theater performance in Sarasota, Florida” (Wikipedia), but more likely for exhorting kids across America to scream real loud whenever they heard the magic word.
