Rob Ford Happy to Joke About How He Is a Total Mess

Crack-smoking Toronto mayor Rob Ford, who has managed to parlay his career as an abusive, lewd, racist Canadian embarrassment to one as a goofy international celebrity, will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night. To promote the interview, Kimmel had Ford make a brief appearance on his Sunday night show, poking fun at the fact that Ford sometimes has no idea what the hell is going on because he is frequently intoxicated. “I can honestly say that I have never been more excited about a guest than I am for this one. Our guest tomorrow night will be Toronto Mayor Rob Ford,” announced Kimmel, only to have Ford walk onstage and wave to the crowd until he was informed that he had “accidentally” showed up early. “Oh, sorry, Jimmy,” replied Ford. Except he’s not at all.
