Comedy Central has planned planned reruns of the “South Park” episode which parodied the founder of Turning Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk, who was murdered on Wednesday at 31 years.
The episode, entitled “Got a Nut”, the second of the 27th season of the program, presented the emblematic character “South Park” Eric Cartman with a hairstyle similar to the deceased conservative influencer while launching Kirk’s exchanges with students on university campuses. It was originally broadcast on August 6 and the episode showed that Cartman received the “Charlie Kirk Award for young MasterDebaters”.
Kirk was struck with a single ball around 12:20 pm on Wednesday when he speaks during an event on the University of Utah Valley campus in Orem. The Utah Ministry of Public Security said Kirk, after being killed, was emergency to the Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was declared dead.

The episode is always available to broadcast on Paramount + and on demand. However, it will be removed from the Comedy Central’s regular cable calendar, confirmed Fox News Digital.
According to the Comedy Central calendar published online, the network will simply ignore the second episode of season 27 when the next episodes of “South Park” should be broadcast in reverse chronological order.
Comedy Central refused a request for comments.
In July, Kirk told Fox News Digital that he appreciated the parody “South Park”.
“I think it’s a bit funny and it will show the cultural impact and the resonance that our movement has been able to achieve. So I consider it as an honorary badge,” Kirk told Fox News Digital.

Season 27 of “South Park” also represented President Donald Trump in sexual intercourse with Satan, made fun of the Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Security, Kristi Noem and Vice-President JD Vance and criticized the Trump administration and his recent initiatives.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of “South Park”, recently concluded a $ 1.5 billion streaming agreement with Paramount.
Kirk got importance during the 2016 electoral cycle, emerging as one of the most influential voices of the Maga movement and cultivating a close relationship with the Trump family. As a founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), he built a national platform that amplified the votes of young conservatives and brought them to the political arena.
Thanks to large -scale TPUSA events, Kirk has positioned itself as a bridge between legislators and the militants of the base, creating direct links between the political establishment and a new generation of conservative leaders. His efforts extended to specialized rallies such as the Black Leadership Summit, where the young participants were even invited to the White House during the first mandate of President Trump, offering them a rare opportunity to engage in face with the president.
