Jimmy Kimmel spent part of his late-night monologue ripping into Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Spencer Pratt, painting the reality TV star as nothing more than an attention-seeking celebrity unfit for serious office. Kimmel accused Pratt of being a “screaming jerk” from reality shows and even drew clumsy parallels to Donald Trump while warning Angelenos not to take Pratt seriously.
The late-night tirade read more like a Hollywood tantrum than thoughtful political analysis, with Kimmel sneering that “mayor should not be your first job” and questioning Pratt’s motives rather than addressing the city’s real problems. The monologue was heavy on insult and light on substance, exactly the kind of performative moralizing we’ve come to expect from late-night elites.
Meanwhile, Pratt’s campaign is not a joke to the people who actually live in Los Angeles and face daily blight and rising crime; polls show he has momentum and his campaign has been outraising veteran politicians in recent weeks. Voters who are fed up with failed one-party leadership and the filmy delusions of coastal elites are looking for results, not disdainful lectures from a talk show host.
Conservative voices on cable rightly called out Kimmel’s sanctimony, pointing out the double standard when Hollywood mocks a candidate who dares challenge the glitzy status quo. Fox News contributor Joe Concha and others pushed back on the late-night lecture, reminding Americans that celebrity scorn is no substitute for addressing homelessness, crime, and mismanagement.
This isn’t about celebrity squabbles — it’s about who will actually restore safety and common sense to a city in crisis, and Angelenos will decide at the ballot box on June 2, 2026. Working Americans shouldn’t be lectured by smug performers; they should be listened to, respected, and given politicians who deliver results instead of snide monologues.
