Even the boob tube has had enough of Toronto’s knucklehead mayor.
Crack-smoking Rob Ford’s Canadian TV show “Ford Nation” was canceled Tuesday – only a day after it made its debut.
Canada’s Sun News Network said the show – which also featured Ford’s politician brother Doug – set an audience record, but was canned nonetheless.
“It beat our record of 100,000 viewers,” said Kory Teneycke, vice president of Sun News Network.
But a network rep told NBC that high production costs doomed the buffoonish mayor’s gab fest.
“No more stand alone show,” the rep said. “We will however welcome them as regular guests on other programming. The economics [of producing the show] don’t work well over the long term.”
Monday’s debut showed Rob Ford standing at a table with his brother as rock music blared in the background.
‘‘You’ve heard the late night comedians, you’ve heard the critics, the pundits, you’ve heard the criticism and the councillors and now tonight I want you to listen to me,” Rob Ford lectured his audience, allowing that he’d made a few mistakes.
The show debuted the same day the Toronto City Council stripped the mayor of most of his office’s budget and all but some ceremonial powers, a move Ford vowed to challenge in court.
The embattled mayor called the vote “a coup d’etat” and compared it to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, warning council members, “What goes around, comes around, friends.”
Ford also vowed to run for re-election despite admissions of binge drinking and that he smoked crack cocaine.
But some experts believe Ford has little chance to win re-election.
“If he survives to win again, this would be the greatest resurrection since Lazarus,” James Royson, political columnist for the Toronto Star, told The Post. “[But] never underestimate the ability of the voting public to be stupid. So, yes, he can be re-elected.”
