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.
