Spencer Pratt is expressing his delight as multiple reports claim that the late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! is coming to an end after airing for 24 years.
“Newsom and Kimmel gone next year?? Be still, my laughing heart! Things are looking UP fam,” the 43-year-old Los Angeles mayoral candidate penned on his X handle on Tuesday.
Despite Spencer’s elation, an ABC Entertainment representative told Us Weekly that the reports were not based on fact.
“This information is inaccurate — any reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative,” a statement read.
For those unaware, Spencer and Jimmy have been engaged in a public feud since May. The TV host had criticized Spencer’s rising popularity and his mayoral campaign during an episode of his late night show that aired in May.
“You get a guy … whose profession is to be the screaming jerk on reality shows, and his house burns down,” Jimmy said at that time. “So even though he had no private insurance on his house and doesn’t believe in climate change, he is understandably upset about his house burning down.
“And because he’s a moderately famous person he gets attention. For the first time in his life, people are agreeing with what he has to say,” he added. “It’s hard not to agree with what he has to say. He’s angry about the same problems a lot of people here are angry about. Does he have solutions to those problems? No.”
