Summary

  • Spencer Pratt answered Jimmy Kimmel’s on-air ridicule by posting a screencap from Kimmel’s early-2000s blackface impersonation of former NBA star Karl Malone.
  • Kimmel had mocked Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral bid on Wednesday, saying with 60% of votes counted he appeared headed for a runoff against incumbent Karen Bass and deriding him as a reality-show villain.
  • Pratt, 42, launched his campaign in January after losing his home in the 2025 Palisades wildfire, casting Bass as responsible for the city’s handling of the fires.
  • Kimmel has already apologized for the skit, saying it was intended as a celebrity impression, calling the sketches embarrassing and rejecting efforts to use them to blunt his criticism of injustice.
