Leslie Jordan Had No Idea He Went Viral- Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Leslie Jordan Had No I...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth - Комедії
I designed his costumes for Sordid Wedding and dressed him during the shoot of the movie , and I can assure you this is what he is like 24/7. It was a never ending comedy routine what was called “life of Leslie”. He had us in stitches all day long. He was an absolute doll, the production crew and the whole cast of the movie were so much fun to work with.
Thanks for sharing that!
Aww thank you for sharing this story! Leslie definitely seems like he has an innate gift for storytelling, and is effortlessly funny.. I remember first seeing him in Will & Grace, and I was always so excited when he appeared. ^_^ I have to check out A Very Sordid Wedding as well!
Also, this is a bit unrelated Mr. Jongbloed, but since you mentioned you worked on that movie, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask: what advice would you give to someone looking to go into tv/film? How did you yourself get started? I'm hoping to transition to working behind the scenes in production, though it's sometimes tough to know where to even start. If you have any advice/insight to share, it would be most appreciated!! Thank you!! 🙏🏼✨
@Peter Jongbloed that’s sooo awesome! You tell him if anyone ever bothers him I have his back!
Thank you for sharing that. I believe that.
It's nice to know He hasn't let fame go to his head.👍
A few years ago I ran into him in Mexico. He was swishing down the sidewalk with 2 paper bags full of groceries, one in each arm. As I passed I noticed it was him. I kinda freaked out and said “Mr. Jordan!” He twirled around and said “Hi?!” I didn’t know what to say, so I asked if he would take a picture with me. With the kindest smile and without hesitation he put the groceries on the floor and posed for a selfie with me. That year I was in a soul-searching trip after being laid off, dumped in a relationship, and losing my mother all within the previous few months. Meeting Leslie Jordan made me smile for the first time that day. A year later he was in town doing his one-man show. So I printed the picture, put on my one pair of Dolce flower pants in his honor and headed to the show. He was equally kind and charming chatting with everyone after the show. He noticed me in the crowd because of my pants and joked he wanted them but probably wouldn’t fit. With the same lack of hesitation he signed the picture and added that I now have priority because evidently I was an old friend. My life has turned back around since. The autographed picture is prominently displayed in a flower frame in my living room. I think some people are angels on this planet who, with their mere presence and in the darkest of times, just light up the world around them and make everyone happy. Thank you Leslie Jordan!
What a great story!
That's a beautiful story
@@mom2adragon677 I agree. I am also glad that thing are going better for you.
Great story, thanks for sharing it.
What a wonderful story ❤️
His southern drawl and his fantastic story telling makes him so precious.
@Bunkieze K lindsey graham kind of ruined that accent for me for some time , i enjoyed it very much before but now when I hear it it's like someone's pouring ice water down my neck .
I know he hasn't got a tennessee drawl because he's from south Carolina but to a foreigner it is close enough
Love him, so nice.
"You've gone viral!" "No friend I'm in Tennessee with my mama, I'm fine" ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
His mom is still alive? Wow, he is so lucky
@@22espec Well, he is only 65-years-old, & if his mom had him at 23-years-old? That would make her 88-years-old. (Which I won't make it to.) My dad lived to be 100-years-old, & his mom 103-years-old, & my mom's mom 100-years-old! A lot of people live to be that old. I am still in my 50's, & I may make 20 more years, & I may not. Thanks to a drunk driver, who will take decades of my life off.
thank u
@@patriciawright8786 That’s good news we got a good chance of enjoying him for at least a couple more decades! 👍👍👍👍
@@patriciawright8786 Is this a "SELF - fulfilling Prophecy" on purpose? Okay, everyone surely has that right.
What a treasure. The sounds of the crew laughing in the background were a great bonus.
He is reaching Betty White status. What a sweet, funny, charismatic man.
I love when they were both in Boston Legal.
right lol
YEP!!
@@marcelo-ramos both absolutely adorable, absolutely huggable and absolutely terrifying.
We really need him right now. Honest, relaxed. We have so much dyed hair, fake puffy lips, layers of makeup and then ads that are saying how valuable over priced products are. He is is so refreshing.
There aren't many people I think of as charming but this man is charming.
This man makes me smile. Every time. Every single time.
"I don't think it took" 🤣🤣🤣😭😭🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Leslie Jordan I adore you with all of my soul ❤
@Leslie Jordan well love, it would be amazing to keep in touch, even meet someday- but it's probably not a good idea for me to put my personal email on here for the whole wide world to see LOL 😆 💜💜🎊🤷🏽♀️
I mean who on earth couldn’t love this man?😆💜💜💫🌼
The ex-Mrs Stan Walker
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Unfortunately there are people that hate him because of his lifestyle. People find reasons to hate.
Caught myself smiling the whole time he was talking. He is so endearing!
omg, me too. i needed this in my life today!!!!!!
Same. And I just shared the clip with friends and family who also adore him.
I'm glad that young people now know about Leslie. He is always been funny for years.
Agreed! I’m 26 and I feel like I was lucky to have my Aunt introduce me to him years ago with Del Shore’s stuff. Love my Brother Boy!
I remember him from Murphy Brown. Man I'm getting old.
I remember him from Boston Legal!
He's an American Treasure
@SIG I thought he looks the same since back then. He looks youthful forever.
“Give me a good pandemic and I seem to flourish.”
he's so funny
If only that could be me
Rolling over here. 😁😆🤣
I'm glad he went viral, I had no idea who he was and he's so precious, I love him
See if you can find the show Boston Legal. James Spader and William Shatner play the two main characters, and Leslie Jordan has a recurring role in it.
He really deserves it ✨🙌
@@TheComicBookJoker He was so good in that role! Just the sweetest little murderer ever, just wanted to hug him! Lol
He was also in Will & Grace. Absolutely a hoot.
Omg if there is a more apt description of a cute old man, I don’t know who it would be. Such a kind hearted soul. One of those people you can tell the goodness from the inside shines out
Though he is so funny when his characters are so evil
I love how much Leslie Jordan made Seth's crew laugh.
I have loved this man since the first time I saw him. Years of funny and charm.
He's just so likeable. It almost doesn't even matter what he's talking about. You just find yourself smiling along. lol
Mr. Jordan is such a wonderful story teller, totally love his instagram.
“Laura Ashley threw up there” I died
So did the camera crew! Hahaha!!
BIG flowers everywhere~
Seth asks one question and Leslie talks for 3 minutes. Love it!
I’ve watched his WAP post for at least 10 times 😂🤣
Every trash can has its lid. 😊
"you've gone viral"....
"nope, im fine honey, im with my mom, no virus"
Lol
Post it on yellow post it notes lol. He’s so cute.
Love him. He’s so genuine and naturally funny.
“It looks like Laura Ashely threw up in the house “ 😂🤣❤️
I just adore this man!
Chattanooga, TN is so happy that he came from here. What a light you have been in such dark times these past 4 years. 🧡✌🏼
I love him so funny
And uplifting...so cool
Thank you
If there is ever a boozy Broadway-style production of Lindsey Graham's life story this man MUST play him. 🤠
No, Leslie is not effeminate enough to play Lindsey Graham.
@@kennethhoskins1647 😜
Ahahaha! Yes!
Hold my mint Julieup.
you're a genius ❤❤❤❤that would be awesome
Mr Jordan ,
Thank You for bringing it back home for us here in the Tennessee Valley .
Leslie is an underrated American Treasure!!! He makes me so happy and giggly right along with him.
I adored him in Will & Grace❣️
Loved him on Will and Grace, he was hilarious on the show and the reboot. Too bad they decided to end it Again!
We need to have more Leslie right now...
sure enough yes definately
@Leslie Jordan oh awesome i've enjoyed everything i've seen you in thanks for the great laughs
Rest in peace you little ball of energy! Thanks for the decades of laughs you brought so many people. We sat and talked about you all night, Leslie. One of those people you thought would always be around. 😟
@bobbycook9113 😑😑😭
I think he must have had a wonderful family because being gay and growing up in the south 50-60 years ago could not have been good - He is so well adjusted and happy - What's not to love
And plus he's absolutely tiny. Not easy.
Thank God for Biden and Harris.
@@avidnongetit8710 Yes, I think their policies will more gay and transgender friendly
The stories about his dad are so funny and heartwarming. His dad didn't understand him but always loved him and showed it.
"It looks like Laura Ahsley threw up in there" :-D :-D
LOL
lol
how funny
Funny! But the nice subtext behind that statement? He bought that house for his "Mama" and considers it the best thing he's ever done. Which I am inclined to agree wholeheartedly.
I adore this man. He is the real life Keebler elf!
and not a bad elf like... what was the name of trump's att general that bailed?
@@AC3handle Sean Spicer? Or Jeff Sessions?
@@kimberlydlapp3441 Sessions. Thanks on that.
@Leslie Jordan *suddenly gets defensive for positive comment* What did I do?
@Leslie Jordan omg you really read the comments. Huge fan, even before Will and Grace. Loved your quarantine stuff too. Thanks for the giggles, chortles and may l say, guffaws!🤗🤗🤗😷🇨🇦. Hugs from snowy Canada
I love this man, that said I never knew his name just recognized him whenever he popped up
Love this -- Seth is so genuinely delighted and amused, and so am I.
Leslie Jordan being gleeful about having Instagram followers is adorable
I need to check out his IG! Sounds hilarious.
I love him so much. He's such a magnetic personality.
@Leslie Jordan thank you for all the smiles through this terrible year! It's helped me out a lot!
Can we get a "day drinking with Leslie Jordan" please for the love of pete
Recovering alcoholic
@@tinyNorman Ah, thanks for letting me know!
His posts really have made the last year easier to take. I especially enjoy the Sunday morning gospel singing.
He is So dang quick witted. Happy for his success. And yes, he truly did bring much joy and laughter to a dim Spring season. Thanks, Leslie.
Lol! Oh Leslie, I’m glad someone is doing well during this crap pandemic, and you’re funny as hell so I’m glad to hear it’s you 💗
@Leslie Jordan didn’t know you’re on UA-cam, subscribed! 💗💗💗
Plus, you’ve made my week and 2021 brighter, thank you 😘
🥰 How adorable and funny!
I couldn't stop laughing through the entire interview. Too funny.
His mama? Long live the queen 😂❤️
Yes, Long live the Queen, but which one did you mean?
His mama? Child, that would be the Queen Mother.
Listening to this man is like sitting in a garden in the height of springtime. What a delight. What a joy.
Some people just have that special charisma that no matter how old they get, they just get more interesting. Now if only we can get him and Betty White on a show......even like a 3 episode sketch comedy. They are just naturally funny as a whip.
he's just adorable 🥰. 2020 year of the Leslies
R-He's a 65-year-old man, not a child. Personally, I feel there are more flattering ways to speak of this actor than "adorable". I may be a bit sensitive on this subject? Because I am a petite woman, & in my younger days I was called, "very pretty", & "sexy" for decades. Now IF anyone says: "You are adorable!" It feels like a backhanded compliment. Really meaning to insult me. I'm just suggesting you use different ways to say you like a person of smaller stature. But, IF Mr. Jordan doesn't care? WHY SHOULD I?
@@patriciawright8786
Lol Patricia, you covered both sides of the argument in one post. Bravo.
@@patriciawright8786I know some people don't want to be called honey or sweetie but I'll take those and adorable too. Not enough love in the world and I know the people using those words mean it in the best way. It's even more precious when used by someone decades younger than me because they use it in a caretaking way and it lifts my heart.
Glad you worked it all out for yourself, Patricia. 🤗
Awww, Seth looked absolutely charmed by Leslie. He just put hit chin on his hand and listened while Leslie talked. That was cute as hell.
Here is my official Hangout Page. Send me an invitation via Hangouts. lesliejordanofficial01@gmail.com
He is such a *gem* of a human being g - ADORE him 😍🤩
God bless him. He was the funniest fail Instagram checkin every Covid lockdown day. Thank you Leslie.
So sad to hear he’s no longer with us. Rest in the utmost peace, Leslie. Thank you for bringing us joy 🕊✨
“Momma and nem” is so southern. My late mother used to say that. I started following Leslie on the gram when he had 10k followers and now it’s in the millions. I can listen to him ALL DAY! His character on Call Me Kat is hilarious! If you don’t like Leslie Jordan then you don’t want joy in your heart.
Leslie was definitely a comfort and a joy in 2020!
I first saw Leslie in Ski Patrol when he was in his 30's, he stole the whole film, funny guy
I loved when they put him in that tiny house when he was asleep!
@@jenniferbaumgarden9293 i laughed way too hard in the theater on that scene
Whenever I see this guy, I always think of Ski Patrol!
I know him from playing Bernard Ferrion in Boston Legal. He was a delight then and more so in this interview.
If the Cult of Personality is the reason for Trumps success, Leslie should become President.
what a wonderful start to my birthday
happy b day
Happy Birthday :)
Happy birthday. 🥳🎉🎊
@@druidictroy1157 thank u very much how humbeling
@@Klas13Klas13 thank u very much
Leslie Jordan has been a lifesaver for my unrest during this pandemic!!! I LOVE him!!! LOVE him!!! LOVE him! (I love you too, Seth, and I look forward to your commentaries each night. I get really upset on weekends and when you are on hiatus)!!!
Love Leslie! He makes me happy ❤
I absolutely 💕 Leslie😁😘.
I'm happy he's back on t.v..
He's soo 😂😂.
Thanks for sharing this video and making me smile
His IG was lightness in all the pandemic darkness. Seems he truly helped SO many folks with his posts. Thank heavens for him 🏳️🌈❤️
I adore this little man, Leslie and Dolly are a testament to real Tennessee grace and charm. The have the biggest kindest hearts and the best sense of humor.
You can tell how much he loves his mama. Mentioned her about 5 times.
I was hoping he went viral for pretending to be Lindsey Graham - every time I see that individual I think of Bernard from Boston Legal.
Underrated comment.. sad I have but one upvote to give
Yes, I can see that.
Yes!!! I couldnt figure out who but u nailed it. Thankyou
Hahaaa. Yes!
How do I find him being Lindsey Graham
My daughter introduced me to this funny bunny and I have been laughing every since!
Just a genuine good human being… a perfect time to be Leslie Jordan! And by his actions he shall be known. Here’s to the rest of us to being ourselves and embracing life to the fullest! Love, laughter, peace and the good health to enjoy every single day! ♥️🌹🙏🏽🙏🏼🌹♥️
Hello💐
What a great spirit this man is.!!
I cannot get enough of this human. ❤️
The effeminate tone and the East Tennessee accent combo is PERFECT.
@thelesliejordan i’m alright leslie, how are you? 😂
Older comics have life experience to truly crack us up.
Young ones are good but limited depth.
I could watch that sweet guy all day 😊.
Leslie is adorable❤️. I think he is truly a gift to us all. Bless you Leslie thanks for brightening up our life❤️👍👏👏👏👏👏🇵🇷➕🙏😇😇😇
He’s done well because he’s provided comic relief. The fact the he says, ”the Instagram” says it all. He’s hysterical.
Funny he mentioned his mom driving him nuts given the role he had in Boston Legal. XD
Love, love, LOVE Lesley Jordan. He was awesome in "Sordid Lives" (2000).
I feel like I almost can't take how adorable and wonderfully alive this man is ❤️! I see Leslie Jordan and I click!
" - ya know what, when we were growing up my sisters got all the attention. I think that's what's wrong with me."
XD But also; Mood.
I know that feeling. When I was a kid it seemed like wherever my family went when visiting friends or relatives the first thing people would ask is " Where is this sister or that sister.
A blessing for all of us.
such a precious personality, so light, kind, and funny.
So effortlessly funny and adorable
Always loved Beverly Leslie and his videos are just amazing
Leslie is an absolute national treasure, and I very much look forward to when his new videos pop up. Each time they do, I watch and re-watch as they make my day!
I am smiling all the way through... really needed this today... 🙌
He’s so delightful!! Nothing but the best for you, sir♥️
All that southern charm ringing out.........seen several of his roles, and love them........
What a wholesome man. You could tell he was so excited to be talked to, even though he's already a famous man. I hope he gets the Betty White treatment in life.
National treasure
I just spit my coffee out!!! 😂😂😂😂
@Leslie Jordan_official ahhh!!! I ❤️u
@Leslie Jordan_official gurrrrl! Get your sweet tea butt to st. Louis. We FRICKIN LOVE YOU HERE!!!
