Who Will Play Doug Ford On SNL?

With Doug Ford becoming a regular on all of the cable news channels in the US, he is quickly getting into Saturday Night Live territory for a sketch.  Wouldn't be surprised if a satire segment of an interview will be coming up soon.  I wonder who will play the premier?  Should be fun to see.

Too bad Chris Farley is no longer with us.

Maybe DoFo himself will pop in for a visit and play himself.


- Not an industry person.  Just a guy with a love of Toronto radio.

Yes Chris was talented but he was a bit closer to Rob Ford than Doug to me.

If they cast Bowen Yang to play Ford, I will be laughing so hard that they'll be able to hear me all the way from New York.  I don't think there's anyone else on the cast currently that is of the same heavy stature as Ford, so unless Kenan Thompson wants to do white face, Yang is the only other cast member I would expect to step up, though there's no reason they won't spend the cash to bring in an outside actor.

Farley appeared in the US House of Representatives as Newt Gingrich in 1995 for a scheduled sitting of the House.

Farley's impersonation was dead on hilarious!!!

Too bad Jim Gaffigan did Tim Walz recently, he could have pulled off a Doug Ford.  John Candy would have been another.

There isn't a new episode this week..... so Doug would only be parodied if he's still picking a bone with Donald in early April...

Where's John Belushi when you need him?

The late Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have been great.
Or way back in the day, Earnest Borgnine.

Obvious choice is Mike Meyers. It would be even more impressive if he plays his Musk character also, split screen perhaps, but it is supposed to be a live performance.
