Kirk Show Producer Urges Paramount to Restore South Park Episode Pulled From Cable

Kolvet says Kirk embraced the parody, wanting it restored to cable rotation.

Overview

  • Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, publicly pressed Paramount to return the episode to Comedy Central’s linear reruns.
  • Comedy Central removed the episode from cable rotation hours after Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.
  • A Paramount spokesperson said it will not air on Comedy Central’s linear schedule but remains available on demand and on Paramount+.
  • The season 27 episode, titled "Got a Nut" and aired Aug. 6, features Cartman mimicking Kirk’s look and campus debate style.
  • Kirk had welcomed the parody, calling it a badge of honor, reposting the clip on X and using the cartoon image on his show’s social profiles.
