Comedy Central Pulls 'South Park' Rerun Mocking Charlie Kirk From Cable

The move underscores how networks handle linear schedules differently from streaming catalogs after high-profile violence.

Overview

  • Comedy Central skipped Season 27, Episode 2, "Got a Nut," in its rerun lineup hours after Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University.
  • The episode remains available on Paramount+ and other on-demand services, according to multiple outlets.
  • Federal and local authorities led by the FBI and ATF are conducting a manhunt, and investigators say they recovered a high‑powered bolt‑action rifle believed to have been used.
  • Kirk, 31, had publicly called the parody a "badge of honor" and shared clips when the episode first aired in August.
  • President Trump ordered flags flown at half‑staff as tributes poured in, while some conservative supporters accused the series and its network of fostering hostility.
