Spencer Pratt will not be the next mayor of Los Angeles. And Jimmy Kimmelhas something to say about it. The late-night host recently roasted Pratt after his loss to Nithya Raman (the city council member will face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in a November runoff race), renting him a U-Haul to move out of L.A.
During his monologue on Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel said, “You know, he clearly promised that if Karen Bass or Nithya Raman were elected mayor, he’s going to move out of L.A. He said he was done with L.A. and Spencer; if you’re watching, we are so, so sorry to see you go.”
Kimmel continued, “You’re a man of your word, and you’ve got to go. You said you were going to go, and I know things might be tight right now, especially out-of-state donation money is running out. Moving is expensive. So, to help you out, we rented you a U-Haul.
Yes, Kimmel did indeed rent a U-Haul. As he continues to pan Pratt, a clip of the truck rolls. And this isn’t just a plain U’Haul. Kimmel’s team decked it out with balloons, a picture of Pratt’s face, and a crystal-covered sign that reads, “Just Defeated.”
The late-night host added, “This is it. It has plenty of room. It’s got two beds, tables, chairs, all your crystals, whatever you want. Our staff spent the whole day decorating for you…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, season 2. Either was mazel tov and goodbye.”
How did Spencer Pratt respond to Jimmy Kimmel renting a U-Haul?
The stunt obviously didn’t sit well with Pratt. In response, the former The Hills star posted a video on Instagram of the rubble left behind after his home burned down in the Palisades fire with the caption, “Jimmy Kimmel I guess you missed the part of the story I don’t need a U-Haul…I have nothing left to pack.”

Pratt’s fans also came to his defense, posting comments in support such as, “I am so sorry your family lost your home. Whatever anyone may say, and there are some nasty people out there, no one deserves to lose their home and the only place their children have ever known,” and, “Jimmy Kimmel- casting stones from his Ivory Tower, so brave.”
