Rob Ford, the Mayor of Toronto Canada will be getting his own reality show!”
Hard to imagine, but it’s happening!
Reports the Toronto Sun:
If you have loved or even hated the Ford Show so far, stay tuned because there’s more to come. The Rob and Doug Ford Show is coming to Sun News Network. You read it right. The Fords are about launch their on-air platform on the small screen.
…
The brothers have agreed to terms with Sun News to pick up where they left off with their much-listened-to show The City on Newstalk 1010. That show ended its run last week and a lot of people missed hearing it last Sunday.
Mostly the Fords.
“Rob is like Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh,” Councillor Ford said. “You just never know what he is going to say.”
Well, they will be back on the air next week. The show, to be called Ford Nation, will air Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on SNN.
If you have not heard of Rob Ford, he is the infamous Toronto mayor with a history of over the top comments, and a scandalous substance abuse history. During his political career, Ford has been the subject of a number of personal and work-related controversies and legal proceedings, including a conflict of interest trial that nearly removed him from office. In 2013, he became the subject of allegations of substance abuse, which were widely reported in the national and international media. T
hese allegations continued amidst a 2013 Toronto Police Service investigation which includes Mayor Ford. These allegations were eventually admitted by Ford, who said he did use crack cocaine “probably in one of my drunken stupors”.
