Toronto Mayor Rob Ford will launch his new YouTube show, titled “Ford Nation,” on Feb. 10.
Ford will host the show with Doug Ford, a city councilman and his brother. The Toronto Star reported that, according to a press release from the mayor’s office, the show will “cover a wide range of topics, from politics to sports and community” and will let the Fords “connect with a broader audience.”
This is not Ford’s first attempt to broadcast his commentary. A “Ford Nation” TV show on the Sun News Network was cancelled after a single episode after in reportedly took five hours to shoot and over 10 hours to edit, according to the Pantagraph.
Ford became notorious last November after admitting that he smoked crack cocaine. The Associated Press reported that Ford initially denied the allegations until the police obtained a video of him smoking crack, at which point he backtracked and confessed. Recently, Ford was in hot water after saying he would never attend the city’s gay pride parade or the gay pride festival.
Ford posted a 30 second trailer for his show that showcased banter between him and his brother.
