TORONTO 鈥� The latest controversial video featuring Toronto Mayor Rob Ford provided fresh material for at least one late-night television host Tuesday night.
The video of a seemingly incoherent Ford using Jamaican swear words popped up on YouTube and appears to have been filmed inside a restaurant.
Ford admitted he had been drinking, after weeks of adamant vows that he had given up alcohol, adding it was on his 鈥渙wn time.鈥�
On ABC鈥榮 鈥淛immy Kimmel Live,鈥� the host quipped that Ford had been quiet for a couple of months but the 鈥渟treak of good behaviour appears to have ended.鈥�
Just when you thought Ford couldn鈥檛 possibly 鈥減ull another nugget out of his bag of crazy,鈥� joked Kimmel, 鈥渉e gets drunk and speaks Jamaican.鈥�
He added, 鈥渨hen you鈥檙e the best, that鈥檚 what you do.鈥�
Kimmel also called Ford鈥榮 brother, Coun. Doug Ford, the 鈥渕ost loyal brother in the world鈥� after initially insisting the video was filmed prior to Monday night.
鈥淪o he鈥檚 back folks, back for an all-new season of Super Mayor,鈥� said Kimmel.
鈥淭hank-you sa国际传媒. This almost makes up for Justin Bieber.鈥�
Ford鈥檚 foibles have been a staple for late night hosts since word first surfaced last June of a video that appeared to show him smoking crack, something he initially denied but later admitted he has done.
The latest Ford news hasn鈥檛 gone unnoticed in the global media, with many outlets publishing stories online, including CNN and Time magazine.

The Houston Chronicle, The Australian and at least three publications in Britain also posted online stories about the embattled Toronto mayor.
