Jay Leno also roasted the mayor over his latest video.
“…This time he admitted he was really drunk, but he blamed it because he was high on crack,” said the comedian.
Kimmel then references Ford’s apology on Tuesday where the mayor admitted he smoked crack cocaine about a year ago while he was in what he calls a “drunken stupor.”

“As if that wasn’t good enough, there’s a new video that was obtained by The Toronto Star. I’m not sure what is going on here or who the mayor was talking about, let’s just say its amazing and leave it at that,” said Kimmel.
After showing the audience the video with Ford in an apparent rage, Kimmel responds:
“Now obviously the mayor had some questions to answer today, so he spoke to reporters outside his office where he answered none of them.”
Prior to ending off his skit, Kimmel asks, “What is going on in Toronto?”
On The Late Late Show, comedian Craig Ferguson also referenced Ford in his monologue.
“Thor: The Dark World is about a giant godlike Adonis with powers of invincibility. You got a picture?” and shows an edited image of Ford dressed up as the Marvel character (see screen grab above).

On The Late Show, David Letterman continued to go after Ford questioning how his approval ratings went up after his crack admission.
“Is everybody up there on crack, is that the deal?” said Letterman.
