Leslie Jordan was a spectacular guy, one of the funniest people ever, and I just think he was the best. An angel, he meant a lot to a lot of people, and he’s gone way too soon.

Leslie Jordan was as talented and genuine as they come. What a ray of sunshine. This is just terrible.

So gutted to hear the tragic passing of Leslie Jordan. He played Cletus Huntley on Maximum Bob, my manager. He was a genius character actor and I loved running into him at Starbucks on Melrose and having a good gossip about all of you. Will desperately miss him. #RIPLeslie 💔 pic.twitter.com/57wSczO4ja

Oh, this is heartbreaking beyond words.

Leslie Jordan was one of the sweetest, funniest, most charming, talented, wonderful people I've ever met or worked with. In debt to playwright @DelShores for introducing us.

Dammit dammit dammit. https://t.co/sWBAEJKTDy
