Jennifer Lawrence Parodies Rob Ford's Crack Speech on 'Letterman'

Some of Hollywood's biggest stars lampooned Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's gravy-train wreck on the Late Show with David Letterman Wednesday night.

Jennifer Lawrence, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, Martha Stewart and Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson appear in a minute-long clip, above (beginning at the 1:05 mark), which shows the stars reciting Ford's now-infamous speech in which he admitted to using crack cocaine.

“Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine,” Lawrence begins.

Called "Ken Burns Presents: The Statement by Rob Ford," the clip also parodies another recent video by documentarian Burns, which commemorates the 150th anniversary of former President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in a similar style. That video shows all five living presidents, as well as entertainers Taylor Swift, Usher and Conan O'Brien, reciting the historic lines from Lincoln's speech at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in 1863.
