“I think Rob Ford is really not very good for Toronto. I don’t find the Rob Ford thing as funny as some.”

—Canadian comedy legend Martin Short, telling BlogTO why he and/or Jiminy Glick will never share a stage with Toronto’s mayor. Short’s next opportunity to have nothing to do with Rob Ford will be on February 8th, when he’s scheduled to host Trinity Health Partners’ Laugh Out Loud fundraiser.
