‘Call Me Kat’ EPs Hand Leslie Jordan’s Baker Phil His “Happy Ending” Following Comedian’s Passing
deadline.comSPOILER ALERT: The following story reveals major plot points from tonight’s episode of Fox’s Call Me Kat titled “Call Me Fancy Puffenstuff.” Leslie Jordan made his final appearance in Fox’s Call Me Kat in “Call Me Fancy Puffenstuff,” an episode about chosen family, blossoming new love, and the enduring power of friendship.
Jordan died on October 24 in Los Angeles while en route to work; he was 67 years old. When audiences first met his character Phil, the head baker at Kat’s (Mayim Bialik) Cafe, he was a sassy singleton who quickly became the heart and funnybone of the series across three seasons.
So it was the cherry on top when Phil finally found someone to share his life with, his new boyfriend Jalen (John Griffin), who made his first appearance in the Season 3 episode “Call Me Uncle Dad” which aired in late October.
