Jimmy Kimmel makes awkward visit to Ford Nation

Mayor Rob Ford wenton Jimmy Kimmel's late night variety show at the beginning of March, and this weekKimmel repaid the favour, making a guest appearance on Ford's YouTube show Ford Nation.

Kimmelappeared on Ford Nation via a Google+ Hangout while the Fords were in their usual local studio.

The segment lasteda little over five minutes, and mostly featured banter between the comedian and Doug Ford, the mayor's brother.

Theconversation was awkward at times. At one point,Kimmeltalked about getting drunk and not remembering his actions. Ford famously said he did not remember using crack in office because he was in a "drunken stupor."

"I've used that excuse one too many times myself," laughed Mayor Ford on the Ford Nation clip.

The last timeKimmeland Ford spoke in a televised interview, there were questions about whetherKimmelwas using themayor as a comedic prop. Kimmelhas repeatedly mocked Ford's personal issues in his stand-up routines at the beginning of his show.

When Ford was inLosAngeles, Calif., onKimmel'sshow, the late night host suggested Ford had addiction problems and should seek help.

In this appearance, Kimmel continued to take amocking tone with Ford.Kimmelwas wearing the same suit Ford wore when appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. At the time, Kimmelsaid Ford was dressed like a magician."When Rob came out to visit, he was wearing a similar outfit. I admired the look and I've been dressing like this regularly now," said Kimmel.

Ford and his brother Doug joked that the Toronto mayor gives so much material to Kimmel'sstand-up routine, the comedian should "get his backside up here" to canvas for Ford's re-election.
