LOS ANGELES — Comedian and actor Leslie Jordan has died after a crash in California Monday, according to reports.

TMZ and Variety say Jordan may have suffered a medical emergency that led to a crash into a building in Hollywood.

He was 67 years old.

Jordan starred in shows and movies like “Will & Grace,” “American Horror Story,” "The Help," "Call Me Kat," and dozens of other productions.

He recently put out a gospel music album, “Company’s Comin,’” and has a book titled “How Y’all Doing? Misadventures and Mischief from a Life Well Lived,” which is a New York Times Best Seller.

Just a day before the crash, Jordan posted a video on Facebook of himself singing with musician Danny Myrick.

During the coronavirus pandemic, he posted videos to social media that brought laughter to millions of people.

I remember Leslie Jordan from the Fox sitcom The Cool Kids. He co-starred with David Alan Grier, Martin Mull and Vicki Lawrence. To me it was a show that had potential but it was canceled after only one season. My condolences go out to his family and friends on his untimely passing. May he rest in peace.

Leslie Jordan had the rare gift of being beloved

Leslie Jordan in 2021. Some actors are admired, and many enjoyed, but Leslie Jordan, who died unexpectedly Monday, had the rare gift of being beloved. His presence in a series, whether in the main cast, a recurring role or as a guest, was not necessarily alchemical, but it would elevate every moment he was onscreen.

I was in the supermarket check out line and glanced at a People Magazine, I think it was People and saw the top line that told of Leslie's death. I was shocked for I see him on Call me Kat. The first time I saw him was on Boston Legal and Betty White was on the same episode. I wonder how Call me Kat will handle the character of Phil. So sad of his death.
