    Listening to Leslie Jordon tell his stories is fantastic. Also, listening to the interviewer laugh was just as entertaining, he really enjoyed his guest.
  • @gcooke6830
    I wish I could have said “Thank you, Leslie, for entertaining us during the Covid shut down and beyond. I loved how real and how personal you were in every segment. I found myself referring to you as a friend one time and it was because of your sincerity and warmth. I will miss you. You made my day many times when I would watch you in any of the comedies I happen to see you in. Thank you and God bless you.

    He was not just a wonderful actor, he was the most beautiful person. He was a ray of light in an often dark world, and he is missed so much. Thank God for video so we can still enjoy his work. I know he's gotten his wings in heaven.
