Jordan allegedly suffered a medical emergency and crashed his car into the side of a building in Hollywood, California on the way to set for &#8220;Call Me Kat.&#8221; &#8220;The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,&#8221; a statement from Jordan&#8217;s representative said. &#8220;Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times.&#8221; The statement continued, &#8220;What he lacked in height he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner, and human being. Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today.&#8221; Jordan most recently appeared in Ryan Murphy&#8217;s &#8220;American Horror Story&#8221; anthology series, as well as narrating Discovery+ series &#8220;The Book of Queer.&#8221; Jordan also appeared in sitcom &#8220;Call Me Kat,&#8221; and had recently finished production on Tracy Pellegrino&#8217;s &#8220;Strangers in a Strange Land&#8221; film.

&#8220;We are shocked and devastated by today's tragic passing of Leslie Jordan,&#8221; a representative for Fox Entertainment said. &#8220;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.
