Overview

• Comedy Central removed a scheduled re-airing of the season 27 episode “Got a Nut” within hours of Charlie Kirk’s Sept. 10 shooting, while the episode remains available on Paramount+.
• Reports say the network replaced the slot with “Sermon on the Mount” and does not plan to air the Kirk-parody episode on its linear channel for now.
• Some MAGA-aligned accounts on X blamed South Park and its creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for fostering hostility, though other voices defended the show’s satire.
• Kirk had previously reacted positively to the episode, calling it an honor and even adopting an image of Cartman on his YouTube channel.
• Police say the homicide occurred at Utah Valley University during a Q&A on firearms; the shooter remains at large, with some reports—unverified in these pieces—suggesting a rooftop escape.
