On their first day of shooting, Oh opened up about the experience.
“It's so special that we were able to spend that time with him, and for what turned out to be his last film,” the actress said. “But, oh boy, he came on the set, and he was like, I don't know…He just really, really brought it in and had such great spirit around it.”
Awkwafina agreed with Sandra and discussed how Reubens' part never changed in the film.

On November 12th, Oh shared a photo with her, Awkwafina, and Reubens — all smiling. The caption read, “[Heart emoji] to our beloved friend Paul Ruebens. We were so so so lucky to have him, to know him, and to share in the joy he brought to all. I think this was the 1st or 2nd day of filming.”

Quiz Lady follows Anne (Awkwafina) and Jenny Yum (Oh). Reubens' part is meeting Anne's neighbor, who is cranky and played by Holland Taylor. The neighbor is a big fan of Alan Cumming, who she mistakes for Reubens.
