Unlike Vance, Kirk even changed his profile pic briefly on his much-watched\nYouTube\npage to that of\nSouth Park\n‘s Eric Cartman as an homage.

As\nSouth Park’\ns Cartman and Donovan fight it out for who truly is the real podcasting deal, the latter receives the “Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters.”\nSouth Park\nreturns with a new

While [the “Got a Nut” episode](https://deadline.com/2025/08/south-park-trump-kristi-noem-ice-taunting-1236480470/) is still available on Paramount+, it no longer can be seen in the swath of South Park reruns on [Comedy Central](https://deadline.com/tag/comedy-central/). ### Related Stories [![Donald Trump](https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-2234858263.jpg?w=300)](https://deadline.com/2025/09/trump-medal-of-freedom-charlie-kirk-1236528653/) [News](https://deadline.com/category/news/) ### [Donald Trump To Award Presidential Medal Of Freedom To Charlie Kirk; Law Enforcement Provides Update On Search For Shooter](https://deadline.com/2025/09/trump-medal-of-freedom-charlie-kirk-1236528653/) [![Matthew Dowd Explains Charlie Kirk Remarks that got him fired fromMSNBC](https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-490678340-e1757607833170.jpg?w=300)](https://deadline.com/2025/09/msnbc-charlie-kirk-matthew-dowd-1236528248/) [News](https://deadline.com/category/news/) ### [Matthew Dowd No Longer With MSNBC After Furor Over Comments Following Charlie Kirk Shooting — Update](https://deadline.com/2025/09/msnbc-charlie-kirk-matthew-dowd-1236528248/) As the manhunt for 31-year-old Kirk’s killer continues, despite [FBI](https://deadline.com/tag/fbi/) Director [Kash Patel](https://deadline.com/tag/kash-patel/) at one point Wednesday saying online that [a “subject” was in custody and then released,](https://deadline.com/2025/09/charlie-kirk-shot-1236527883/) some [MAGA](https://deadline.com/tag/maga/) supporters have pointed a partial finger at South Park for the tragic shooting. Paramount had no comment on the episode being pulled, but sources close to the situation say it likely is “only temporary” until the political temperature comes down. The show, the second episode of the Trey Parker-Matt Stone satire’s current 27th Season, was removed from being shown on the cable channel in the hours following the fatal shooting of Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10. Originally airing on August 6, “Got a Nut,” which parodied Kirk’s “Prove Me Wrong” debate approach as well as ICE’s masked raids and Vice President [JD Vance](https://deadline.com/tag/jd-vance/)‘s relationship with President [Donald Trump](https://deadline.com/tag/donald-trump/), was replaced with the season-opening “Sermon on the Mount.” ### Watch on Deadline RELATED: [Stephen Colbert Reacts To “Abhorrent” Charlie Kirk Shooting & Condemns Political Violence](https://deadline.com/2025/09/stephen-colbert-reacts-charlie-kirk-shooting-1236528361/) Of note, when “Got a Nut” premiered early last month, Kirk told Fox News on August 7 the episode was a “badge of honor.” He went on to say: “We as conservatives should be able to take a joke, we shouldn’t take ourselves so seriously – that’s something that the left has always done.” That was a very similar reaction to Vance, who said [“I finally made it”](https://deadline.com/2025/08/jd-vance-south-park-debut-1236481177/) after he was slammed as leering sycophant to wannabe-dictator Trump. Unlike Vance, Kirk even changed his profile pic briefly on his much-watched [YouTube](https://deadline.com/tag/youtube/) page to that of South Park‘s Eric Cartman as an homage. Kirk also gave South Park a shout-out on X on August 6 with a “Not bad, Cartman.” > Not bad, Cartman 😂😂 [pic.twitter.com/Avs1mtYWeV](https://t.co/Avs1mtYWeV) > > — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) [August 7, 2025](https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1953290604365885923?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) RELATED: [Donald Trump Posts Video Message Paying Tribute To Charlie Kirk, Blames “Radical Left Political Violence” For Assassination; Suspect Still At Large](https://deadline.com/2025/09/trump-charlie-kirk-assassination-1236528378/) ![](https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Charlie-Kirk.jpg?w=300) Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Most of “Got a Nut” deals with fired South Park counselor Mr. Mackey joining ICE to make his monthly bills after talking to his bank manager and a student Clyde Donovan adopting the role of a provocative right-wing podcaster to make a few bucks. As South Park’s Cartman and Donovan fight it out for who truly is the real podcasting deal, the latter receives the “Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters.” South Park returns with a new episode on September 23 on Comedy Central, and then Paramount+ the next day.

It can’t be all the things Charlie Kirk said. So it must be a recent episode of South Park.

While [the “Got a Nut” episode](https://deadline.com/2025/08/south-park-trump-kristi-noem-ice-taunting-1236480470/) is still available on Paramount+, it no longer can be seen in the swath of South Park reruns on [Comedy Central](https://deadline.com/tag/comedy-central/). As the manhunt for 31-year-old Kirk’s killer continues, despite [FBI](https://deadline.com/tag/fbi/) Director [Kash Patel](https://deadline.com/tag/kash-patel/) at one point Wednesday saying online that [a “subject” was in custody and then released,](https://deadline.com/2025/09/charlie-kirk-shot-1236527883/) some [MAGA](https://deadline.com/tag/maga/) supporters have pointed a partial finger at South Park for the tragic shooting. Paramount had no comment on the episode being pulled, but sources close to the situation say it likely is “only temporary” until the political temperature comes down. The show, the second episode of the Trey Parker-Matt Stone satire’s current 27th Season, was removed from being shown on the cable channel in the hours following the fatal shooting of Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10. Originally airing on August 6, “Got a Nut,” which parodied Kirk’s “Prove Me Wrong” debate approach as well as ICE’s masked raids and Vice President [JD Vance](https://deadline.com/tag/jd-vance/)‘s relationship with President [Donald Trump](https://deadline.com/tag/donald-trump/), was replaced with the season-opening “Sermon on the Mount.” RELATED: [Stephen Colbert Reacts To “Abhorrent” Charlie Kirk Shooting & Condemns Political Violence](https://deadline.com/2025/09/stephen-colbert-reacts-charlie-kirk-shooting-1236528361/) Of note, when “Got a Nut” premiered early last month, Kirk told Fox News on August 7 the episode was a “badge of honor.” He went on to say: “We as conservatives should be able to take a joke, we shouldn’t take ourselves so seriously – that’s something that the left has always done.” That was a very similar reaction to Vance, who said [“I finally made it”](https://deadline.com/2025/08/jd-vance-south-park-debut-1236481177/) after he was slammed as leering sycophant to wannabe-dictator Trump. Unlike Vance, Kirk even changed his profile pic briefly on his much-watched [YouTube](https://deadline.com/tag/youtube/) page to that of South Park‘s Eric Cartman as an homage. Kirk also gave South Park a shout-out on X on August 6 with a “Not bad, Cartman.” RELATED: [Donald Trump Posts Video Message Paying Tribute To Charlie Kirk, Blames “Radical Left Political Violence” For Assassination; Suspect Still At Large](https://deadline.com/2025/09/trump-charlie-kirk-assassination-1236528378/) ![](https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Charlie-Kirk.jpg?w=300) Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Most of “Got a Nut” deals with fired South Park counselor Mr. Mackey joining ICE to make his monthly bills after talking to his bank manager and a student Clyde Donovan adopting the role of a provocative right-wing podcaster to make a few bucks. As South Park’s Cartman and Donovan fight it out for who truly is the real podcasting deal, the latter receives the “Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters.” South Park returns with a new episode on September 23 on Comedy Central, and then Paramount+ the next day.
