Lorraine Newman is one of the original cast members of Saturday Night Live, as Nusm mentions. John Paragon is the person who played Jambi the Genie on the Pee Wee Playhouse TV show.
Jambi is a blue-faced (later green) genie who lived in a jeweled box, first appearing in The Pee-wee Herman Show. Usually appeared once per show to grant Pee-wee a wish, often with unexpected results. Sometimes he appeared more than once per show or not at all. His catchphrases included “Wish? Did somebody say ‘Wish’?”, and the magic words “Mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho” (which grew more complicated in select episodes; John Paragon later confirmed that it was “fake Hawaiian”), and once a wish had been granted, “The wish is/has been granted. All hail/Long live Jambi!”, after which the doors to his box would close. After the incantation he would either nod his head or gesture, and send forth blue or green energy rings that, when in contact with the wisher, will grant the wish.
