WATCH: It was magic when Leslie Jordan joined Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on CNN NY Eve

Oh I love this. It makes me happy and sad. Just 10 months ago, Leslie Jordan guested on CNN’s New Year’s Eve with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. He was his usual fun self and told the story of Betty White – who had died that day at 99 – and him guesting on ABC’s Boston Legal. White’s character killed Jordan’s character on the show with a frying pan.

Anyway, Leslie also talked about his mom and his twin sisters. Since this broadcast, the mom died at 86 and one of the twins died and now Leslie.

For little gay kids watching this telecast, how utterly cool to see three successful, openly gay men on national television being themselves.
