Must-See Late Night Clip: Rob Ford Shows Up Early for Jimmy Kimmel Live!

“I can honestly say I’ve never been more excited for a guest than I am for this one,” Jimmy Kimmel said during his post-Oscars special last night, teasing his big Monday night booking: the somehow-still-mayor of Toronto Rob Ford. Then, to add to the already-star-studded night, Ford strolled out onto the stage in full tuxedo one night early. After Kimmel cleared up the confusion, Ford apologized and left.

In order to to get the world’s most famous crack-smoking mayor on his show, Kimmel went so far as to dress as a limo driver and personally pick him up at the airport. Truly anything could happen when the two men sit down for a proper interview tonight.
