Jim Parsons remembers Leslie Jordan in the sweetest way. On a December 13 episode of the podcast “Life is Short with Justin Long,” Long asked Parsons a wide range of questions, including what it was like working with the late Jordan on “Call Me Kat,” and a special project centered around Jordan. When speaking, you could tell that Parsons had respect for Jordan, who Parsons called “so kind.”
Parsons opened up about working with Jordan on set. “You know, he was devilishly funny, and he was so beautifully self-deprecating, but he really had a way of making you feel, ‘loved’ is not too strong a word, that’s what he did,” Parsons gushed. “And effortlessly, or seemingly effortlessly, I mean maybe he had prayed every morning to make sure he could do that for people, I don’t know. ” Parsons also said that he felt like it wasn’t “dissimilar” to know Jordan on social media or in real life because “what you were getting [on Instagram] is essentially what you would’ve gotten in person too.” He also pointed out how many people grieved over the loss of the star.

Before recording the podcast, Long also remembered Jordan by commenting on an Instagram post on the star’s page. “His mirth and joy of life will always remain with me — as will his one-of-a-kind voice when I say the words “well” and “s***” in order,” he wrote.
