Yes, it was just yesterday that we were lamenting the death of all humour related to the Rob Ford saga. Today, thanks to a bit of ingenunity from the folks at Late Show with David Letterman, we’re here to eat some of those words.
Using the “help” of documentarian Ken Burns (director of American history opuses like the Civil War, Baseball, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson), the Late Show gathered a gaggle of A-listers like Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and yes, Martha Stewart to participate in a dramatic and artistic reading of Rob Ford’s crack use-admisson statement.
If this is where the dead horse of Ford humour is right now, we’ll take it.
