The Masked Singer is paying tribute to a legend. 

In addition to releasing a montage of Leslie Jordan's best moments on the series, the Fox series dropped a teaser of the Will & Grace actor's final appearance on the series, which will air Nov. 9.

While trying to guess the Gopher's true identity, Jordan exclaimed, "Oh you guys, I literally have no idea who this is, but I'm gonna put out some names." Jordan went on to guess rappers like Flavor Flav and Lil Nas X, much to the chagrin of the audience. 

In response, guest judge Joel McHale voiced these feelings, quipping, "All of a sudden, Carol Burnett guess doesn't look so bad!"

Jordan first appeared on the series as a guest judge during season six, after singing "This Little Light of Mine" as Soft Serve. During the tribute clip, the series remembered his performance, including when host Nick Cannon bowed down to Jordan as he was unmasked.

Leslie Jordan's Best Roles

"Wow, I'm not worthy!" Jordan exclaimed in the clip. "I mean, this is too much!"

Jordan died unexpectedly on Oct. 24 after a car accident. Throughout his career, he was best known for his roles in projects like Will & Grace, American Horror Story and The Help

"Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times," Jordan's rep said in a statement to E! News at the time. "What he lacked in height he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner and human being."

Jordan's final appearance on The Masked Singer airs Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
