The Call Me Kat series was a brilliant way to honor Leslie Jordan and his legacy as a television icon. It is not only a tribute to the actors who died this past year, but it also serves as an homage to those who still have us in their hearts. Kat’s journey has been heartbreaking and triumphant, making every episode worth watching. The series is equally good at being light-hearted and serious, showcasing what Leslie Jordan truly meant to this industry — which is something we are going to miss with him gone. The series has also done a fantastic job at connecting his character to the other side through two recurring appearances of late: George, as portrayed by Leslie Jordan, is Kat’s gay BFF and confidant. He is always there to cheer her up with a quick joke or even some sage advice. And they both share a passion for all things Broadway (Leslie was in shows like The Will Rogers Follies, Southern Comfort, and Miss Saigon. He also voiced the “Butler” character in Aladdin on Broadway).

He tells her that he can help her find success in show business if she agrees to help him out by letting him inhabit her body and complete his unfinished tasks.
