John Paragon, the veteran actor who played the blue-faced genie Jambi on “Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” has died. He was 66.

Paragon passed away in April, although the cause of death has not been revealed, according to the coroner’s office in Riverside County, California, TMZ confirmed.

From 1986 to 1991, Paragon appeared on the Emmy-nominated “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” as Jambi the Genie, whose painted blue face and ornamented red turban sat disembodied in a bedazzled box, which was prompted to open anytime Pee-wee Herman (Paul Ruebens) wanted too make a wish. And with each wish, Jambi would chant the iconic magic words: “Meka leka hi meka hiney ho.”

I remember when Pee-Wee went to the movies. Turned into a real smear campaign.

I don’t think Paragon had a hand in that.
