"Call Me Kat" is mourning the loss of Leslie Jordan.
The sitcom will honor the late actor with a title card at the start of the Thursday episode, according to Variety. In the series, Jordan plays Phil, the head baker at the cafe owned by Kat (Mayim Bialik).
The outlet reported that Jordan had completed eight episodes of "Call Me Kat's" third season and was scheduled to film the ninth episode this week.
Jordan is also scheduled to appear in upcoming episodes of "The Masked Singer," where he also appeared as a guest panelist on two episodes in 2021, and "Lego Masters," which were both filmed before his death. There is no word on how either of those shows plan to pay tribute to Jordan.

On Monday, co-star Mayim honored Jordan with a tribute on Instagram.
"There aren't words to convey the loss we are experiencing as a Call Me Kat family," she wrote. "Leslie Jordan was larger than life. He was a Southern gentleman; tender, wise, naughty and hilarious. We got to know and love him at the height of his happiness and joy and it is inconceivable to imagine a world without our Leslie."

Mayim's note concluded, "We will be taking time to grieve and to celebrate the many gifts Leslie gave to us and to the entire world and we appreciate privacy at this time."
Cheyenne Jackson, who plays Kat's friend Max in the series, also paid tribute on Instagram Monday.
"He was my mentor, my sober brother and my unofficial comedy coach," Jackson wrote in part. "He hated that we couldn't tell naughty jokes on set anymore so we decided that we'd be each other's blue material safe space. And no matter how filthy a joke would be that I'd tell him, he'd giggle and then tell me one 10 times dirtier. He was equal parts silly and serious, broad and subtle, and always ALWAYS kind."
Jordan, also known for his roles on "Will & Grace" and American Horror Story, died in a car accident on Monday at the age of 67. His official cause of death has yet to be announced.
Watch "Call Me Kat" honor Leslie Jordan when it airs Thursday at 9:30 p.m. ET on Fox.
