The two actors recently reminisced on The Ellen Show, discussing their first meeting on the set of Will & Grace back in 2017. Jordan reprised his iconic role of Beverley Leslie, and Greenfield guest-starred as Eli Wolfe, a “hot, rich, power gay.”
The New Girl actor asked Jordan what he first thought of him, seemingly already knowing what he might say.
“Oh, I thought you might be gay,” Jordan excitedly responded. “But then again, that’s my thought whenever I meet anybody.”
“You’re not the only,” Greenfield teased.
He then shared a photo of a not so “subtle” flyer that was posted “all over West Hollywood” prior to Thanksgiving that featured his topless likeness on it.
“If you can’t read that, it says ‘big gay party,’” he said. “And then it’s me with my shirt off.”
The photo had “Bangsgiving” written across it, a reference from a beloved season 4 Thanksgiving episode of New Girl.
Surprised by the episode’s lasting impact, he joked, “Little did I know that one day it would result in me promoting a big gay party in West Hollywood, bringing everyone together...”
