Spencer Pratt Just Made Jimmy Kimmel Regret the U-Haul Stunt With One Brutal Video

Jimmy Kimmel rented a U-Haul on live TV to mock Pratt after LA Democrats’ late, mail-in ballot knocked Pratt out of the race for mayor.

Spencer Pratt saw it and responded with something Kimmel never saw coming.

The late-night host probably wishes he had kept his mouth shut.

The Palisades Fire Victim Who Ran for LA Mayor Instead of Waiting for a Check

Spencer Pratt watched the Palisades Fire consume his family's home in January 2025. While Karen Bass was overseas in Ghana – refusing to cut her trip short as Los Angeles burned – Pratt was filming the destruction of everything he owned.

He didn't run to a hotel and wait for FEMA. He ran for mayor.

Pratt launched his campaign exactly one year after the fire at the They Let Us Burn rally in Pacific Palisades, standing in front of roughly 1,000 Angelenos who'd lost homes, businesses, and neighbors because city leadership failed them. He got endorsed by President Trump. He built a genuine grassroots following. He finished with nearly 26 percent of the vote in a crowded primary field – not bad for a first-time candidate with zero political machine behind him.

Kimmel's response to all of this was to mock him from a studio in Hollywood.

How Jimmy Kimmel Spent a Month Mocking a Palisades Fire Victim on National TV

The attacks started in late May. Kimmel aired a parody campaign ad mixing Pratt's actual campaign footage with clips from The Hills, framing the entire campaign as reality TV drama. He called Pratt "another narcissist looking for attention" and told his audience Los Angeles should be "very embarrassed" that Pratt made it into the top tier.

He compared Pratt to Trump – not as a compliment – and said the city couldn't afford to "repeat that mistake."

This is a man whose house did not burn down lecturing a man whose house did burn down about the audacity of caring about it publicly.

When the final vote count confirmed Pratt finished third behind Bass and city council member Nithya Raman, Kimmel went back to the well. He announced on Tuesday night's show that he'd rented Pratt a U-Haul – a reference to Pratt's pledge to leave LA if he lost. Kimmel gave Pratt a mock farewell: "I hope you and Heidi are happy wherever you go. Maybe you could be mayor there. Either way, Mazel Tov and goodbye, Spencer Pratt."

Crowd loves it. Kimmel takes a bow.

Spencer Pratt Answered the U-Haul Stunt With One Brutal Video

Pratt posted a video on X Wednesday morning. No press conference, no lengthy statement, no cable news hit.

Just footage of the rubble where his house used to stand.

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."

That's it. A few words and a video that made every single one of Kimmel's jokes collapse under its own weight.

Think about what Kimmel actually did here. He mocked a father who lost his home in a disaster his city's own mayor mishandled. He mocked a man who, instead of cashing in on the sympathy tour, decided to run for office and fight for his neighbors. He mocked him for losing – as if finishing third in an LA mayoral primary while carrying zero name recognition in actual politics, zero institutional support, and the baggage of being a reality TV villain is something to be ashamed of.

And then he sent him a U-Haul. Because the man has no house.

What Jimmy Kimmel Showed About the Left's Late-Night Machine

Kimmel's whole bit requires you to see Pratt as a punchline. A TV villain who thought he could play politician. Someone to be dispatched back to irrelevance.

But Pratt's story doesn't work as a punchline when you know the facts. He lost his home because Karen Bass was on a taxpayer-funded trip to Africa while fire season raged. He watched the city's incompetence in real time and decided to do something about it instead of posting sad Instagram captions and waiting for a check.

Kimmel – who spent years crying on camera about politics while his ABC paycheck cleared every week – chose to punch down at a fire victim whose political crime was running against the Democrat machine in Los Angeles.

The U-Haul bit wasn't wit. It was cruelty dressed up as comedy.

And Pratt dismantled it in eleven words from a burned lot.
