Overview

• Stone told The Denver Post that no one pulled or censored the episode and that the team simply failed to finish on time.
• The show’s Instagram acknowledged the lapse, thanking fans and Comedy Central and asking viewers to tune in next week.
• Fans had questioned the reason for the delay as industry tensions rose and other late-night programs paused broadcasts.
• Paramount removed a Cartman parody of Charlie Kirk from cable reruns after Kirk’s killing, though the episode remains on Paramount+.
• The creators’ rapid six‑day workflow is well documented, and a $1.5 billion Paramount+ pact runs through 2030, making cancellation unlikely.
