Summary

  • Jimmy Kimmel used Tuesday’s monologue to mock Spencer Pratt’s mayoral loss, unveiling a decorated U-Haul and urging him to honor his pledge to leave Los Angeles.
  • With 97% of votes counted, Pratt fell to third at 25.83%, behind Nithya Raman at 28.55% and incumbent Karen Bass at 34.32%, sending Bass and Raman to a November runoff.
  • Kimmel also jabbed at Pratt’s Trump-backed campaign, joking that out-of-state donation money was drying up and noting MAGA supporters were claiming the race was rigged.
