‘South Park’ creators double down on episode skewering Trump
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 31 – South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone defended their $1.5 billion Paramount deal and satirical episode targeting Trump amid White House criticism at San Diego Comic-Con.
- On July 23, 2025, South Park's season premiere on Comedy Central depicted President Donald Trump naked with Satan, ruffling feathers, hours after a $1.5 billion deal.
- Earlier this week, Paramount, despite its $1.5 billion deal with Parker and Stone, faced controversy after settling a lawsuit with Trump over a 60 Minutes interview.
- The White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers called it a “fourth-rate show” that has “not been relevant in over two decades” in a July 24 statement to USA TODAY.
- During Comedy Central's animation panel at Comic-Con, Parker deadpanned “We’re terribly sorry” with a grin, unfazed by White House backlash.
- With over 300 episodes to date, South Park’s rapid production and Paramount+ deal enable it to stay current and respond quickly to events.
