The controversy surrounding Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford has been taking over most of the news outlets this week. Clearly this makes sense considering Ford admitted to smoking crack while in office, decided not to step down from his position, and then announced his reelection bid for the 2014 Mayoral race. This situation might be frighteningly ridiculous, but luckily for us there are plenty of ways to laugh about it. On Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, Parks and Recreation actor Jim O'Heir stopped by to do a Ford impression and it was amazing!
In this clip, Kimmel and "Ford" have a conversation over Skype and address all of the issues surrounding this story. O'Heir does a great interpretation of Ford's sweatiness and uncomfortable demeanor we've been seeing in the press coverage of this story, and he also matches his stubborn, short-answer attitude.
One of the bigger highlights from this bit was when "Ford" admitted he had done worse things while in a drunken stupor than crack cocaine. He lists baby smuggling, grave robbing, and cannibalism as the other activities he has partaken in while drinking to access.
The video ends with "Ford" asking Kimmel to get him in contact with the episode's guest, Dr. Phil. He then flips the table and walks out!
Check out this hilarious bit from Jimmy Kimmel Live featuring Parks and Recreation's Jim O'Heir right here:
What did you think of this comedic take on this situation? Do you think Ford will be reelected next year? You might think that this is a clear "no," but his approval ratings reportedly went up after the crack news broke. Oh, Toronto!
