Drew Carey has hosted The Price Is Right for 19 years and just made the worst mistake of his career.
Richard Grenell endorsed Spencer Pratt for Los Angeles mayor – and Hollywood decided to destroy him before June 2.
When two of Tinseltown's loudest voices attacked, Pratt hit back with their names in the Epstein files.
Handler and Carey Made the First Move
Handler went after Pratt on Instagram last week, announcing that "a straight, white male, former reality star that has no previous experience in government should not be a legitimate political candidate."

That's a remarkable sentence from someone who had dinner with Jeffrey Epstein in 2010.
Drew Carey piled on days later with a Threads post telling voters, "Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their ass."
That's a remarkable statement from someone whose name turns up in documents sent to Ghislaine Maxwell.
Neither of them thought through what happens when you publicly attack a candidate who has read the Epstein files.
Pratt Pulled Out the Documents
On Monday, Pratt posted to X and asked the obvious question.
"Isn't it weird how the two comedians histrionically lashing out against me are both in the 'Epstein files'? What are the odds?"
He didn't stop there.
Pratt posted a screenshot of a 2002 email referencing Ghislaine Maxwell – convicted Epstein co-conspirator – in which the writer notes, "Your ears must have been burning. I was having dinner tonight with Drew Carey and the guys from Whose Line Is It Anyway and we were talking about our encounter with you."

For Chelsea Handler, Pratt posted a clip from The Roast of Kevin Hart this month – comedian Shane Gillis telling the audience, on camera, that Handler had dinner at Epstein's house in 2010.
Handler has not denied the dinner.
Hollywood Spent Years Protecting This Ecosystem
Here's what nobody in the entertainment press wants to talk about.
Two celebrities with documented Epstein connections chose to insert themselves into a Los Angeles mayor's race to attack the one candidate threatening the city's political machine.
The establishment response to a wildfire survivor demanding accountability was not policy debate.
It was Handler calling him the wrong race and sex, and Carey dismissing him with an expletive.
They Picked the Wrong Guy to Attack
Chelsea Handler lectured America about what kind of person is fit for office – "straight, white, male, former reality star with no government experience" – apparently never considering that the candidate she was attacking had already read the document with her name in it.
Drew Carey called him a "serial scammer" and told voters to reject him, apparently with the same oversight.

Here's what these two didn't account for.
Pratt lost his Pacific Palisades home in the January 2025 wildfires and spent the next year demanding answers from a mayor who stonewalled fire victims while running for re-election.
He joined Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill in September 2025 to push for a federal investigation into the fire response.
Trump's own special envoy Richard Grenell endorsed him and offered to raise money for the campaign.
He qualified for the only televised debate in this race – alongside incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and progressive challenger Nithya Raman.
He outraised every other challenger in the field.
And he's polling at 22% – second in a three-way race, with Bass's lead shrinking and the June 2 primary nine days away.
Two comedians handed him the best campaign moment of the race.
The establishment never learns.
