Comedy Central quietly pulled a controversial South Park episode, ‘Got A Nut’, from its scheduled rerun, and sources say it won’t return to the network’s rotation anytime soon. The episode, which aired last month, featured Clyde Donovan launching a right-wing podcast, while Cartman parodied Charlie Kirk — complete with his hairstyle, outfit, and bible verses. Shortly after the episode aired, Kirk praised the parody, even noting how accurately the show captured his mannerisms, down to the water bottle on his desk.
Tragically, the parody took on a darker tone this week when Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a speaking event in Utah. Authorities have arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, though the motive remains under investigation. President Trump called Kirk’s death a “tragic loss,” while some conservative voices are now blaming South Park, with one Turning Point USA staffer saying, “Comedy has consequences.” Although the episode will not be aired on TV, reports confirm ‘Got A Nut’ is still available on Paramount+.
