If you’d tuned into Comedy Central on Wednesday night hoping to see a new episode of South Park, you would’ve been disappointed.
Despite the fact that the show’s 27th season kicked off in July, a rerun of the season premiere aired in place of the new episode that had been scheduled for last night.
Viewers were left scratching their heads, and many wondered if the last-minute change had anything to do with the recent murder of Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk-based South Park episode creates controversy
As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Kirk was shot and killed during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University last week.
The August 6 episode of South Park satirized Kirk’s public persona and his habit of engaging in tense debates with college students whose views did not align with his own.
Kirk stated that he was not offended by the portrayal, and he even changed the profile picture on some of his social media accounts to a screenshot of Eric Cartman as a Kirk-like firebrand.
But the episode became a source of controversy in the wake of Kirk’s death, and Variety has now confirmed that Comedy Central will not re-air it.
(The episode is still available for streaming on Paramount+.)
In a statement, Comedy Central attributed the last-minute change in plans to a “production delay” — which actually makes perfect sense.
After all, South Park runs on a notoriously tight schedule that enables showrunners Trey Parker and Matt Stone to address the week’s top news stories.
The process was detailed in a 2011 documentary titled 6 Days to Air, which revealed that episodes are often completed at the last minute.
But Parker and Stone don’t usually miss deadlines, and given the current political climate, it’s not surprising that some fans believe there’s more to this story.
Will ‘South Park’ meet the same fate as ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’?
As we previously reported, Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC talk show was abruptly pulled from the air on Wednesday.
The surprising move came after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr encouraged owners of local ABC affiliates to pull Kimmel’s show from their stations in response to his comments about Kirk.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel said.
Asked about the move today, President Trump, who is currently on a state visit to the UK, told the British media that Kimmel “said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk, and Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person.”
“He had very bad ratings, and they should have fired him a long time ago. So, you know, you can call that free speech or not,” Trump added. “He was fired for lack of talent.”
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

There’s been a wide array of reactions to the news that Jimmy Kimmel has been suspended by ABC for his comments about Charlie Kirk.
But for all the hot takes on social media, it seems that some of Kimmel’s closest allies are choosing to remain silent on the subject.
For starters, fellow late night host Jimmy Fallon canceled a scheduled appearance in New York City today, and to be fair, we don’t know for certain that the decision was related to Kimmel’s suspension.
But the comic is currently taking quite a bit of flak on social media.
Fallon’s sudden cancellation receives scrutiny on social media
According to a new report from Ad Week journalist Marc Stenberg, Fallon “abruptly cancelled” his appearance at an event hosted by business magazine Fast Company.
“Scooplet: It looks like Jimmy Fallon, who was supposed to speak this morning at Fast Company’s Innovation Festival, has abruptly cancelled his appearance,” Stenberg tweeted this morning.
Stenberg did not speculate as to the cause of the cancellation, but his tweet was picked up by TMZ, the New York Post, and other outlets, obviously under the assumption that Fallon’s decision was related to the Kimmel situation.
Fallon has since received a fair bit of criticism, but even more condemnation has gone to the hosts of The View.
‘The View’ hosts slammed by fans for failure to address Kimmel situation
The long-running daytime show generally features discussions of the day’s top issues, and today, the Kimmel firing should have been at the top of that list.
But the hosts — who, like Kimmel, are employed by ABC, a subsidiary of Disney — chose to steer clear of the subject.
“Welcome to The View,” longtime View panelist Whoopi Goldberg said at the beginning of the episode, adding, “But before we do anything, it’s Sara’s birthday!”
From there, Goldberg introduced the current events portion of the show by stating, “Let’s tell you what’s been going on.”
As People reports, the day’s slate of topics included “Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Centers for Disease Control, Eugene Levy’s new show The Reluctant Traveler (featuring an interview with the Schitt’s Creek alum), and Terry Bradshaw and wife Tammy’s new cookbook.”
But there was no mention of Kimmel.
It’s unclear why the show chose to steer clear of the day’s hottest topic, but naturally, many social media users assumed that the decision had to do with the hosts’ ties to ABC.
“I can’t believe you guys aren’t bringing up Jimmy Kimmel… is it because Disney and ABC owns you too? Speak up, ladies,” one viewer wrote on social media (via Too Fab), adding, “Disappointed. No mention of Jimmy Kimmel,” wrote another, as someone else added, “They seem worried and anxious today.”
“Too scared to mention Jimmy? I’m done with your show,” read another response, while a third viewer chimed in, “I was expecting something on free speech today, but was disappointed. Hopefully you are getting your ducks in order and will stand up for Jimmy and Free Speech very damned soon.”
We’ll see if the hosts decide to address that criticism on tomorrow’s show — but we’re guessing they’ll continue to give the Kimmel scandal a wide berth.
