Jimmy Kimmel Discusses Rob Ford/Donald Trump Comparisons

While appearing at the Just For Laughs comedy festival this past week in Montreal, Jimmy Kimmel said comparisons between the late Toronto Mayor and controversial Republican Presidential candidate are inaccurate.

He said, “Canadians like to say that, but let’s not forget that Rob Ford was smoking crack. When Donald Trump picks up a crack pipe, then we’ll have a comparison.”

Both, Kimmel argued are “a gift from the comedy gods.”

Jimmy spoke more about the walking controversy that is Donald Trump, “He does two crazy things every day. Nothing sticks to him because we can’t keep up with all this stuff. You can’t even focus on one of them because by five o’clock that afternoon he’s done something else.”

He went on to speak about the former Mayor, saying “I did get to know him and I did get to know his brother. Whatever you want to say about the guy, he really cared about being mayor and he really cared about doing a good job. Obviously he had his demons.”

Rob Ford passed away earlier this year at the age of 46.

You may remember his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2014.
