One of the best things about Will & Grace was the relationship between Karen Walker and Beverly Leslie. Their love/hate relationship made us laugh whenever they destroyed the other one with a zinger so cold even Satan felt a chill down in Hell.
When Megan Mullally and Leslie Jordan were on NBC, there was something they couldn’t say to one another. However, over the weekend, when the two actors hung out, Jordan was able to tell his archnemesis, ‘Fuck you!” And it was a beautiful thing.
I hope Peacock gives Karen & Beverly a show where all they do is diss each other. I could watch it for 30 minutes every week. Couldn’t you?
When ABC announced that Leslie Jordan was going to announce the Oscar nominees, I joked that they messed up and called him by accident because they really wanted Leslie Jones. Unfortunately for Jones, the person making the calls dialed the wrong Leslie.
I came up with the joke because sometimes I confuse the Leslies. I mean, one is a tall Black woman, and the other is a short white man. Wait that makes them different. But what makes them alike is that their first name is Leslie, and they both have a common last name that starts with a Jo.
So thank you to The Ellen Degeneres Show to help us differentiate between the two of them.
Just when I thought I have seen everything. It turns out I haven’t. I never expected to see Leslie Jordan and Eddie Vedder dancing to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ Island in the Stream, but here they are doing just that.
How did it come about? They are friends. “Name that tune with my sweet friend @eddievedder,” Jordan wrote. “I absolutely love everything about this man and his family. A rocker dancing to @dollyparton — it doesn’t get eddie vedder than this.” No, it doesn’t.
Now, I want to see them get down to Jeremy. Actually, I’d like to see the actor tour with Pearl Jam and dance on stage for them. Would you pay to see that?
Mayim Bialik is back with her own sitcom on Fox tonight at 8p (or after the football game, depending on where you live). Bialik plays Kat, a 39-year-old single woman who owns a cat cafe in Call Me Kat.
Kat lives on her own above her cat cafe. Her mom (Swoosie Kurtz) would love her daughter to stop being the crazy cat lady and get married like Kat’s best friend Tara (Vanessa Lachey). In the pilot episode, Tara is renewing her vows, and she asked Kat to bring a plus one. Kat asks one of her workers from the cafe to go with her. Phil (Leslie Jordan) is getting over a breakup with his boyfriend, so he is more than willing to go with his boss. However, Kat’s college crush, Max (Cheyenne Jackson), is back in town working at the bar by her cafe, and she would rather go with him to the wedding. What Kat doesn’t know is that Max is dating another woman from Paris. What will Kat do when she finds out that his girlfriend is also in town?
Thankfully, Kat can confide in her other employee Randi (Kyla Pratt). Randi is going to do everything in her power to get Kat to change. Something Kat will have to do because her mother won’t stop fixing her up on dates. Dates she doesn’t want because all she wants to do is date Max. Does he want to date her? Kat will do everything she can to find out.
Did I mention there are cats on the show? I mean, this is a show about a cat cafe, so we have to have kitties. They just make this sitcom even more meowvelous.
That and the cast play off of each purrfectly. How can you not have comedy tuna with Leslie Jordan and Swoosie Kurtz on the show. They always bring the funny, no matter what they do.
Because of all of the above, you will be drawn to Call Me Kat like a cat is drawn to catnip.
Leslie Jordan was a dog lover. However, now that he is working with cats in Call Me Kat, he has converted to the pussy. Can you blame him? Look at those purrfect faces.
His new sitcom that also stars Mayim Bialik debuts January 3rd on Fox.
