‘South Park’ jabs Trump after Emmy win, changes name to ‘South America’
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said the rename follows the show’s Emmy win and continues its long-running Trump satire.
- On Sunday, South Park won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program at the 78th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles for its 27th season premiere.
- The winning episode featured relentless satire of President Donald Trump, who was a recurring target throughout the 27th season that aired last year. The show's dark humor made Trump a central focus.
- Trump has frequently complained about never winning an Emmy for The Apprentice, the reality series he hosted from 2004 to 2015. He has alleged the awards show is rigged against him.
- Celebrating the win on X, the official South Park account posted an image of a cartoon Trump clutching an Emmy trophy. The White House previously dismissed the program as "fourth-rate" and irrelevant.
- New episodes are scheduled for release on Sept 16. The show, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, remains a prominent fixture in adult animation despite its current hiatus.
