US EditionSouth Park Parodies Trump and "Freedom of Speech" in New Episode
The episode satirizes FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s actions after Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, featuring Trump-related traps injuring Carr in a storyline mixing politics and prediction markets.
- On September 24, South Park returned with 'Conflict of Interest,' airing on Comedy Central and streaming on Paramount+.
- Brendan Carr's pressure on ABC partly prompted Jimmy Kimmel's suspension last week, and South Park satirizes broadcast censorship and network pressure in response.
- In one sequence, President Donald Trump rigs a greased staircase and cooks soup with Plan B emergency contraception, both backfiring as Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, suffers injuries and illness; a cat litter trap meant to induce toxoplasmosis also repeatedly harms Carr.
- In immediate response, a doctor character in the episode warns Brendan Carr may lose his freedom of speech, while some MAGA supporters accuse South Park's creators of risking real-world harm.
- Looking ahead, Trey Parker and Matt Stone deny censorship, saying `No one pulled the episode, no one censored us, and you know we'd say so if true.` as South Park returns on Oct. 15.
