Jordan also made a posthumous appearance on the Season 3 premiere of HBTV's Celebrity IOU with Drew and Jonathan Scott. In the episode, he surprised his friends Rosemanet andNewell Alexander with a home renovation. "They've just always been there for me," Jordan told the Property Brothers stars in the episode. "I had some struggles with alcohol, a little drug use. I'm 25 years clean and sober, but they were instrumental in that too because they never judged me."

Jordan was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and was best known for playing Beverly Leslie on Will & Grace. The part earned him an Emmy in 2006. Jordan also became a surprising Instagram star during the COVID-19 pandemic. He published his autobiography, How Y'all Doing? Misadventures and Mischief from a Life Well Lived, last year.

"If Leslie were here with us today, I would want to thank him for his contributions to our culture throughout his acting career, for getting us through the dark days of the pandemic with his wicked sense of humor, and for always inviting us into his heart and his world," Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly said in a statement. "Leslie opened himself up to all of us and never stopped sharing the love and light he carried within."
