We bet if Jambi could grant Natasha Lyonne a wish, it would be a little more time with her friend, Paul Reubens .

Upon the news that Reubens had died Monday, the Russian Doll star posted a loving tribute to the comedian who created the once extremely popular character, Pee-wee Herman .

Reubens died Sunday after he bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit, his Facebook and Instagram accounts announced Monday. He was 70 years old.

Love you so much, Paul. One in all time. Thank you for my career & your forever friendship all these years & for teaching us what a true original is, Lyonne tweeted Monday, along with a few photos of her as a child acting alongside Reubens on his hit childrens show Pee-wees Playhouse that ran from 1986 to 1991.

Lyonnes first acting credit came on Reubens Pee-wees Playhouse, which she scored at 6 years old, per Entertainment Weekly . She told the outlet last year that she stayed in touch with the beloved actor long after her stint on his show ended.

I love Paul, I see him, we stay in touch, she told EW. Paul Reubens, a.k.a. Pee-wee Herman, sends the best gifs in the biz. Long before they became so accessible via iPhones.
