Mayim Bialik’s Fox comedy “Call Me Kat” has announced it will suspend production on the show following the passing of iconic star Leslie Jordan.
The “Will and Grace” star died at the age of 67 following a tragic car crash on Monday.
Jordan played the character of Phil, a single gay man and a baker who works at Kat’s (Bialik) café.
Thursday night’s episode titled “Call Me Uncle Dad” will pay tribute to the Emmy winner.
Of Jordan’s death, a rep for Fox told The Post: “We are shocked and devastated by today’s tragic passing of Leslie Jordan. Leslie was far more than an Emmy Award-winning comedic talent with whom we’ve laughed alongside for all these years.”
“He was the kindest person you could ever imagine who simply lit up a room and brought pure joy and huge smiles to millions of people around the world,” the statement read. “The truest of Southern Gentlemen, Leslie carried an infectious exuberance, indelible sense of humor and, throughout, gifted us with countless fond memories that will last forever.
