Late Night host Jimmy Kimmel roasted Los Angeles’ mayoral race, calling it “a very L.A. race for mayor.” He blasted former reality star Spencer Pratt, who trails incumbent Karen Bass in polls. Kimmel likened Pratt’s television persona to a “screaming jerk,” warning voters that running a city with a $14 billion budget demands more than reality‑show hype.

Kimmel highlighted Pratt’s past spending spree, noting the 2011 couple blew $10 million on luxury items and crystal healing goods. He suggested Pratt’s current online shop, prattdaddy.com, signals a lack of administrative experience. Despite this, Pratt occupies the second spot in the race slated for election on June 2.

Voters face a choice between Bass, who commands a proven track record managing a $14 billion budget, and Pratt, whose celebrity background may attract media attention but raises questions about fiscal stewardship. The debate underscores how celebrity candidacies can sway public perception, potentially diverting focus from substantive policy discussions.

With the election looming, local media will likely scrutinize Pratt’s financial claims, while investors watch how celebrity involvement might affect city contracts and public spending. The outcome will signal whether Los Angeles voters prioritize experience over notoriety, a decision that could reshape the city’s political and economic trajectory.
