It’s been a rough week for Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. But don’t worry, he had a press conference to apologize for his actions — and then another press conference to apologize for his first press conference.
The scandal-ridden politician was the focus of the cold open during this week’s Saturday Night Live. The fake Ford, played by Bobby Moynihan, appeared on a Canadian broadcast news program. The host asked the Mayor what he wanted to say to his voters.
“Ooh, just that I goofed up, eh?” the Mayor explained.
Faux Ford wasn’t too worried about his public image though. The Mayor pointed out that he had held a press conference earlier in the day to apologize for using crude language earlier in the week. But during his appearance before reporters, fake Ford also brought chapstick for them to put on before kissing his a**.
But the Mayor realized his mistake and apologized at anotherpress conference shortly thereafter. That presser didn’t go well either, however, as Ford’s crack dealer showed up to make a deal.
And then just a half hour before his appearance on the news, program, fake Ford has held another press conference — during which he body slammed the podium after telling reporters to more lewd things.
After realizing that the Canadian broadcast anchor didn’t believe him, faux Ford resorted to appearing on a show where people would believe him — CBS‘ 60 Minutes, which recently came under fire for airing an interview with a ‘Benghazi witness’ who told lies about the attack.
Watch the cold open below:
