Rob Ford walked onto Jimmy Kimmel's stage accompanied by Jamaican music, threw shirts at the audience, and then sat next to the TV host, whose first question was: "Why are you dressed like a magician?"

Unsurprisingly, Kimmel didn't exactly play nice during the interview. But he did take the time to sincerely recommend the mayor get help for his abuse issues.

"If you're drinking enough that you can try crack in your 40s and you don't remember it, maybe that's something that you might want to think about, like, talking to somebody," Kimmel told Ford.

"Just something to think about. In case — it's nothing to be ashamed of and I think it's a good example for other people who might be in a similar situation," Kimmel said to the audience's applause.

Bur Ford, who will run for re-election in October, 2014, defended himself, saying he wasn't elected "to be perfect."

"I was elected to clean up the mess that I inherited. and that's exactly what I've done," Ford said.

When asked again about getting help, Ford said: "Talk is cheap, action speaks louder than words. We'll let the people decide on October 27. I'm just a normal, average, hard-working politician that's real."
