Leslie Jordan, the little actor who was bigger than life, passed away today at the age of 67. According to KABC, he crashed his car into a building in Hollywood this morning after a suspected medical incident.
“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” read a statement issued by the actor’s representative David Shaul to George Pennacchio. “Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times. What he lacked in height he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner and human being. Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today.”
Jordan had a long career that started in 1986. But it took 15 years for people to realize how brilliant he was. That is when he landed the role of Beverly Leslie, Karen Walker’s archnemesis, on Will & Grace, and he finally got the stardom he deserved.
I would discover him four years later on Boston Legal as a man who went around killing people by hitting them over the head with a frying pan. He met his demise that way when Betty White did that to him.
I will never forget that scene or his many, many, many other show-stealing scenes on American Horror Story, The Cool Kids, and Call Me Kat, to name a few.
Since his death was so sudden, we don’t know what the future will be for Fox’s show Call Me Kat. But I think they will opt to end the series due to his passing.
UPDATE: According to Variety, Call Me Kat will be taking a production pause to deal with Jordan’s death. I would not be surprised if the series did not come back or they will do one last episode to say goodbye to Jordan as a tribute.
So today, let’s watch Jordan doing what he did best, making us laugh. This way, our laughter will lift him up to heaven.
There is one thing I want to say about his passing. During the pandemic, I saw him post a video dancing to Blanco Brown’s The Git Up. I mentioned Brown in the comments, and I like to think I had a part in this, and the two became friends. Last week, they shot something together with Locash.
Today, one of the last things that Jordan did was like an Instagram post by Brown. Just think, one minute, you are scrolling through Instagram, and the next minute you are gone. When it is your time, it is your time.
We got to know Alison Arngrim as that bitch Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie. Back then, she taunted Laura Ingalls.
That was then. Now, the actress was seen as the Wicked Witch of the West terrorizing Dorothy at the Wizard of Oz Festival Gingham Gala Riverboat Cruise in Hannibal, MO.
Whether Arngrim is a bitch or a witch, we still get a twitch for her!
We first saw Henry Cavill as Superman in 2013, but he has not had his own feature as the Man of Steel since the Man of Steel. He starred alongside Batman and the Justice League in two movies, but he never got his own sequel.
That was until now. “I wanted to wait until the weekend was over before posting this because I wanted to give you a chance to watch Black Adam,” the actor said today. “I wanted to make it official that I am back as Superman. The image you see on this post and what you saw in Black Adam are just a very small taste of things to come. There’s a lot to be thankful for, and I’ll get to that in time, but I wanted to thank you guys most of all for your support and your patience. I promise it will be rewarded.”
So he will not follow Brandon Routh’s path as one and done.
No word when, I am assuming The Dawn of Hope, will be released, but I am sure the fans will love it. Hopefully, it is better than Man of Steel, but it would have to be dreadful to be worse than that film.
McDonald’s is evil. First, they made us happy by giving us adults a Happy Meal of our very own. Then they brought back the Halloween Happy Meals pails.
It was all to soften the blow. Today, they announced that the McRib will be back on October 31st. That is the good news.
“The McRib is back! It starts with seasoned boneless pork dipped in a tangy BBQ sauce, topped with slivered onions and dill pickles, all served on a toasted homestyle bun. When everything combines you have BBQ pork sandwich perfection.” And this is where the bad news starts, “Get one while you can because this is the McRib Farewell Tour. Order yours in the McDonald’s app for delivery or pick up before you say goodbye on 11/20/22. Enjoy our famous pork sandwich as if it’s your last!”
Hold me. I need to be held. I look forward to the annual tradition of the McRib every year, and now I have nothing to look forward to anymore. Not my birthday. Not Christmas. Not Halloween. Not the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Who else wants to protest McDonald’s decision with me? I will be at the Toluca Lake store, eating a McRib while I can and holding a sign saying, “Long live the McRib!”
Have you ever wondered why Pete Davidson keeps getting all those buzzed-about women like Kim Kardashian, Kate Beckinsale, and Ariana Grande? Well, now we know.
The other day Charlamange the Gd was talking about the former Mr. Kim Kardashian on the Brilliant Idiots podcast, and the host told them about an argument he had with the autotuner last November.
The autotuner was upset because his estranged wife was “fucking a white boy with a 10″ dick.” And according to Charlamagne, the comedian’s penis is more significant than the autotuner’s dick. Now that’s funny. Although, it explains why he is such a dick. The smaller the one they have, the bigger the one they are.
BTW Is Davidson single? Maybe he would consider sleeping with someone like me? I have nothing going for me like his exes, but I want to go for a ride on him, I mean with him. With, not on. Whoops!
