Leslie Jordan promotes “My Trip Down the Pink Carpet” and remembers being in jail with Robert Downey Jr.

http://www.booksoup.com/images/my%20trip%20down%20the%20pink%20carpet.jpgI’m so glad that Leslie Jordan is sharing this story!

He’s been clean and sober for many years now but there was a time when his drinking landed him in jail. And guess who his cellmate was for a time?

Robert Downey Jr.!

You gotta watch him tell the story on The View and The Wendy Williams Show. Both videos are here.

Leslie is making the rounds promoting his new solo show My Trip Down the Pink Carpet at New York City’s Midtown Theater. The show, playing through July 3, is being produced by Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner.

Lily and Leslie played brother and sister on the HBO series 12 Miles of Bad Road which was brilliant but, criminally, was never aired. I’m hoping it will one day make DVD or air on Lifetime. It is absolutely terrific and written by Linda Bloodworth Thomason.

Anyway, enjoy the videos!
