As Bialik explained, that particular episode “was so incredibly special because of our dialogue coach directing for the first time and just how much fun we had.”
@mayimbialik Regarding Leslie Jordan’s final Call Me Kat episode that aired last night. May his memory only be a blessing. We miss you, Leslie. 💕
In fact, the “Big Bang Theory” alum pointed out, the episode was also a special one because it included Jordan’s very first onscreen kiss.
“He and John Griffin, who plays his boyfriend on the show, were very specific about their appreciation for our writers’ sensitivities in writing a gay couple that was navigating the newness of living a truly authentic out life. It was a very important episode for Leslie in particular,” she said.
