"Every city I go to, I go to City Hall,'' he said brightly, surrounded by his handlers on the steps of City Hall. "I just pop in to say hi."

Ford told reporters at L.A. City Hall that he was in town because late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel had invited him to make an appearance on Kimmel's show. Ford said he arrived Saturday and attended an Oscars party Sunday night.
"I'm looking for more movies to be made," he said of Toronto's $1.2-billion filming industry, perhaps unaware that his pitch is at odds with Garcetti's campaign to stem runaway production. "We have a beautiful city, and it's safe. It's very multicultural, and taxes are low."

With a flushed, round face and Rush Limbaugh-like physique, Ford has become a favorite topic on late-night TV shows. Kimmel frequently pokes fun at him. But Ford said he's not worried about his Monday-night appearance.
"He has a job to do, and I have a job to do,'' Ford said. He said he has become an exercise fanatic and is moving on.
"I think you can see I'm working out every day,'' he said. "I'm down 40 pounds. And I'm excited for the election."
