I was bowled over by Kimmel's unrelenting attack on Rob Ford for the length of the show. Ford showed a lot of testicular fortitude for staying the onslaught among all the laughs even though Kimmel seemingly confronted him on his every notable behavioral miscue. I guess Ford, after fourteen years as mayor, is accustomed to it. Only at the end did Kimmel say, "You're the finest mayor I've even met."
Being ever the salesman, Ford got in re-election points and said he had saved Toronto a billion dollars in his fourteen years. I think he would have sat through flame throwers and crocodiles just for that plug.
Late night television has its moments and this was one of them.
