SNL's Cold Open this weekend was hilarious (and didn't go on and on and on...and on.) Cast member Bobby Moynihan nails an impression of Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford.
Don't know much about the Rob Ford scandal? Here's a quick synopsis. He's the crazy Mayor of Toronto, does crack, has been offered his own TV show, has a problem with losing his cool in front of cameras, and last week Toronto City Council stripped of some of his mayoral power but are keeping him for the remainder of his term. Supposedly he still has a 40% approval rating in Toronto and would like to run for Prime Minister.
TMZ caught up with Mayor Ford who said he saw the sketch and "it was crazy, man!"
