On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel said “men like Toronto Mayor Rob Ford don’t come around very often and when they do, it’s important we immortalize them for future generations to enjoy,” before musician Chris Daughtry paid tribute to the mayor with a ballad.
On the Late Show, David Letterman also poked fun at Ford with a TV show parody, The Rob Ford Files.
Jimmy Fallon, host of Late Night, weighed the good and the bad of serving as a mayor with a crack addiction, which included entries like “Pro: earning the title ‘his honor,’ ” and “Con: Preferring ‘Your Highness.’ ”
