Looks like Meghan McCain is not laughing along with Jimmy Kimmel’s latest late-night routine!
The political commentator is firing back after the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host took aim at Spencer Pratt following the reality star’s unsuccessful bid to become the next mayor of Los Angeles.
And what started as a round of election-related jokes quickly turned into a much bigger conversation after McCain blasted the comedian in a social media post that left little room for interpretation.

So, this all came about after McCain re-shared a clip from Kimmel’s latest monologue, and the political daughter unloaded on the late-night host with a scathing message:
“Jimmy Kimmel is a mean, heartless b*****d and no amount of on air crying will convince me or anyone else otherwise. The day he is off air will be a better day for the country.”

Yikes!!!
The controversy stems from Kimmel’s Tuesday night monologue, during which he poked fun at Pratt’s campaign and his previous comments about potentially leaving Los Angeles if he failed to win. Pratt had previously publicly suggested he would move away from the city if his political effort fell short, FYI (though he later clarified to several media outlets that he was simply trying to make a broader point about what he sees as the city’s future challenges).
Kimmel, however, saw an opportunity for comedy, as you may recall from our prior reporting, when he said this in the monologue:
“He clearly promised that if Karen Bass or Nithya Raman were elected mayor, he’s going to move out of L.A. He said he was done with L.A., and Spencer, if you’re watching, we are so, so sorry to see you go.”
The joke didn’t stop there. Kimmel continued the bit by revealing a customized U-Haul truck supposedly prepared for Pratt’s departure from the city, adding:
“We do know we’re going to miss the hell out of you. You’re a man of your word and you’ve got to go. You said you were going to go and I know things might be tight right now, especially out-of-state donation money is running out. Moving is expensive. So to help you out we rented you a U-Haul.”
As the audience watched, images of the decorated moving truck appeared on screen. The vehicle featured balloons, streamers, and even a giant image of Pratt’s face alongside a sign reading “Just Defeated.”
Then, Kimmel kept the joke rolling with one final farewell:
“Our staff spent the whole day decorating for you. And everybody will notice you and wave goodbye as you leave. I hope that you and [wife] Heidi [Montag] are happy wherever it is you go.”
Meanwhile, the actual mayoral race continues to move forward! Incumbent Bass secured a spot in the general election, while councilwoman Raman ultimately claimed the second position after additional ballots were counted. Pratt’s campaign, despite attracting plenty of headlines and attention, fell short of advancing.
As for Pratt, Kimmel, and McCain — whether this turns into a larger celebrity feud remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Meghan was NOT amused.
What about U, Perezcious readers??
