South Park’s Charlie Kirk Episode Pulled After Assassination Despite Activist’s Praise

Comedy Central has decided to pull its recent South Park episode “Got a Nut” from its scheduled re-airing. The episode featured a parody of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, who, at the age of 31, died yesterday from a fatal gunshot wound to the neck.

“Got a Nut” was the second episode of South Park Season 27, which originally aired on August 6, 2025. It featured Eric Cartman becoming a right-wing podcaster. The character parodied Kirk’s distinct hairstyle and debate arguments in a satirical way. Currently, the episode is still available for streaming on Paramount+.

What was Charlie Kirk’s reaction to his South Park episode after it first aired?

After the episode first aired over a month ago, Kirk actually shared his reaction to South Park’s parody of him through a TikTok video, describing the scene as “hilarious.” Despite the mockery, the controversial activist was thrilled by the episode and called it a “cultural domination.”

“We have a good spirit about being made fun of,” Kirk said in the video. “This is all a win. We as conservatives have thick skin, not thin skin, and you can make fun of us and it doesn’t matter.”

South Park is co-created and executive-produced by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II also serving as executive producers. The voice cast consists of Trey Parker, Matt Stone, April Stewart, Mona Marshall, Kimberly Brooks, Jessica Makinson, and more. The show is produced by Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell, and Vernon Chatman. The sitcom has been on air for more than 20 seasons since its debut in 1997. During its run, it has garnered a number of awards, including five Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award in 2005.
