Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, brother to restart TV show

TORONTO, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his brother, Toronto City Council member Doug Ford plan to relaunch their short-lived talk show, "Ford Nation," on YouTube.

Doug Ford told local radio station CFRB 1010 on Thursday that he and his brother have been approached by various U.S. and Canadian TV producers, including Dr. Phil and Oprah Winfrey, to create a reality TV show, CBC News reported.

However, he said that he and his brother prefer a talk-show format, like their TV program, and the weekly radio show they once hosted.

Both the radio and television shows ended amid Rob Ford's crack-smoking scandal, but Doug Ford said the TV show would be relaunched online before Christmas.
