Jimmy Kimmel is making sure Spencer Pratt keeps his promise to move out of Los Angeles after losing the mayoral race.
During his “Jimmy Kimmel Live” monologue on Tuesday, the late-night host riffed on Pratt’s loss — and even rented the former reality star a U-Haul — after Nithya Raman overtook him and advanced to a November runoff against Karen Bass.
“Spencer Pratt was in second place early on, but now with 97% of the votes counted, has dropped to third behind L.A. City Council member Nithya Raman and incumbent mayor Karen Bass,” Kimmel said. “They will go to a November runoff against each other — Spencer Pratt will not. And the MAGA crowd is now using this to try to claim the election was rigged.”
Indeed, after Pratt established an early lead, Raman — a progressive Democrat — leapt over him earlier this week with 28.55% of the vote compared to Pratt’s 25.83%. Bass remains the candidate to beat with 34.32%. Pratt, who gained an endorsement from President Donald Trump, decided to get into politics after his home was destroyed in the L.A. fires last year. Before that, his main claim to fame was his role on the reality series “The Hills” alongside wife Heidi Montag.
Kimmel continued that Pratt “clearly promised that if Karen Bass or Nithya Raman were elected mayor, that he was going to move out of L.A. … And Spencer, if you’re watching, we are so, so sorry to see you go. We’re going to miss the hell out of you. You’re a man of your word, and you gotta go.”
The show then cut to footage of a U-Haul, which displayed the words “just defeated” on the side alongside artwork of a sad-looking Pratt and metal cans attached to the back with streamers.
“I know things might be tight right now, especially with the out-of-state donation money running out. Moving is expensive, so to help you out we rented you a U-Haul,” Kimmel joked. “Our staff spent the whole day decorating for you, and everybody will notice you and wave goodbye as you leave.”
Kimmel concluded his monologue by saying: “I hope that you and Heidi are happy wherever it is you go — maybe you could be mayor there! Or maybe just run for mayor and finish in third place there, it could be fun for your new reality show. Either way, Mazel Tov and goodbye, Spencer Pratt!”
