Jimmy Kimmel goes on anti-Spencer Pratt rant: ‘Mayor should not be your first job’

Kimmel said Pratt lacks the experience to manage Los Angeles’s $14 billion budget and urged voters to choose another candidate if they reject Karen Bass.

  • On Wednesday, comedian Jimmy Kimmel used his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue to lambast reality star Spencer Pratt's unexpected rise in the Los Angeles mayoral race, comparing the candidate's campaign to President Donald Trump's 2015 presidential run.
  • Pratt entered the mayoral race following the 2025 Palisades Fire, which destroyed his Pacific Palisades home. Kimmel acknowledged the candidate's personal loss but argued that does not qualify the reality personality for municipal office.
