Following his killing at a Utah college campus event on Sept. 10, controversy swirled around the Aug. 6 \u201cSouth Park\u201d episode \u201cGot a Nut,\u201d which featured jokes that made fun of Kirk\u2019s politics as well as his style of podcasting and debating. (At one point, a character who later goes on to win the \u201cCharlie Kirk Award for Young Master Debaters\u201d says, \u201cYou can\u2019t trust Jews, white people are the underprivileged and women belong at home.\u201d) After Kirk was killed, the episode was <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/tv\/news\/charlie-kirk-south-park-pulled-comedy-central-1236515229\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulled from Comedy Central\u2019s rotation of linear reruns<\/a>, but it remains available to stream on Paramount+.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cSouth Park\u201d will return to the air on Sept. 24 before two weeks off. Then, the series will continue dropping new episodes every other Wednesday from Oct. 15 to Dec. 10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tParker and Stone executive produce \u201cSouth Park\u201d along side Anne Garefino and Frank C.
