ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel got more than he bargained for after a Tuesday bit he did to celebrate reality show personality Spencer Pratt falling outside of the top two in Los Angeles’s mayoral primary. As part of his victory dance, Kimmel and his crew decorated a U-Haul to help Pratt move, but the next day, Pratt would respond by posting a video on X of his burned-down home and claim he doesn’t need the U-Haul because he has nothing to put in it after the wildfires.

Kimmel began, “He clearly promised that if Karen Bass or Nithya Raman were elected mayor, he was going to move out of L.A. He said he was done with L.A. and Spencer, if you are watching, we are so, so, so sorry to see you go. But what we do know, we're going to miss the hell out of you. 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 the out-of-state donation money is running out, moving is expensive. So, to help you out, we rented you a U-Haul.”

 

 

The U-Haul was decked out with balloons, party streamers, a picture of Pratt’s face next to the words “just defeated,” and aluminum cans tied to strings like you might see on a car of a recently married couple.

Kimmel continued, “So, to help you out, we rented you a U-Haul. This is—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 it for you. And everybody that will notice you and wave good-bye as you leave, and I hope that you and Heidi are happy wherever it is you go. Maybe you can be mayor there or maybe just run for mayor and finish in third place. It could be fun for your new reality show season two. Either way, mazel tov and good-bye, Spencer Pratt. Let us know if you want it. We'll drop it off in front of the Bel Air hotel.”

Pratt has insisted that he stayed at the hotel for security during the campaign. As for the U-Haul, Pratt posted on X on Wednesday, “Jimmy Kimmel i guess you missed the part of the story i don’t need a U-Haul… I have nothing left to pack” followed by a shrugging emoji.

Throughout the closing days of the primary campaign, Kimmel claimed to understand why voters would be angry at the city government’s response to the wildfires but that Pratt was the wrong answer. However, it took Pratt’s campaign for Kimmel to actually talk about the response on air.

Here is a transcript for the June 9 show:
