Actor Jennifer Lawrence and media maven Martha Stewart are among the big names in a mock trailer about Mayor Rob Ford which aired on the Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday night.
The clip about the fictional documentary The Statement by Rob Ford has stars reciting lines from Ford’s often absurd public statements and echoes Ken Burns’s upcoming film The Address tied to the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.
“Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine,” Lawrence says as the preview begins.
And then a rotating list of A-list celebrities — including Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Stewart — appear on screen to deliver more of Ford’s gems:
“But am I an addict? No.”
“Have I tried it? Umm, probably, in one of my drunken stupors.”
“You guys kept referring to alcohol.”
The trailer also mentions Ford’s promise to sue the waiter who claimed he saw the mayor doing lines of cocaine at Bier Markt, and it touches on Ford’s desire to become prime minister of Canada.
Ford has been the butt of jokes on late night talk shows ever since he admitted to smoking crack cocaine earlier this month and a massive scandal ensued.
