Overview

• The creators announced hours before airtime that they did not finish the Season 27 episode in time, calling the delay their fault.
• Comedy Central set the new airdate for Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 10 p.m. and listed remaining episodes for Oct. 15, Oct. 29, Nov. 12, Nov. 26 and Dec. 10.
• Missing an airdate is rare for the series, which previously slipped a deadline only in 2013 due to a power outage.
• The postponed installment would have been the first since Charlie Kirk was killed; a prior episode parodying him was removed from cable reruns but remains on Paramount+.
• Reporters and fans have speculated about possible links to recent events, but the creators have offered no explanation beyond not finishing on time.
