Jimmy Kimmel jokes about Hamilton mayor candidate Ejaz Butt

American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has set his comedic sights on Toronto mayor Rob Ford for months, even inviting Ford to be a guest on his show.

But on Thursday night, the American funnyman turned his gaze to the mayoral race brewing in Hamilton.

In his opening monologue, Kimmel said he's drawn to the "mayor situation in Toronto like Jane Goodall follows her chimps. It's probably the thing I'm most interested in in the world."

However, Kimmel noted he should "start paying close attention to the mayoral race in another Ontario town."

Kimmel then introduced a clip from local TV news station CHCH that announced the entrance of Hamilton taxi union leader Ejaz Butt into the election fray.

"'Ejaz' is a weird start to begin with," he quipped. "But when you throw a 'butt' in there…"

Butt, 62, is originally from Pakistan but has been working as a cab driver in Canada since 1987.

"I started from the very grassroots. I have stayed in this city since I arrived in Canada. I have achieved a lot in this city and it's time to give back," Butt told CBC Hamilton.

Kimmel also made a request to viewers in Hamilton.

"Will someone please steal me one of his lawn sings? "
