Producer of ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ Calls on Paramount to Restore ‘South Park’ Episode

Following the recent death of Charlie Kirk, the executive producer of his show has publicly urged Paramount to reinstate a “South Park” episode that parodied the conservative activist.

The episode, titled “Got a Nut,” from the show’s 27th season, was reportedly pulled from Comedy Central’s rerun schedule in the hours after Kirk was fatally shot. However, the episode remains available for streaming on the Paramount+ service.

Andrew Kolvet, the executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, took to social media to state that Kirk “loved that he was featured” in the episode and would want it to be put back on the air. This sentiment is consistent with Kirk’s own reaction to the parody when it first aired. In an interview with Fox News and in a TikTok video, he praised the episode, calling his inclusion a “badge of honor” and encouraging conservatives to “have thick skin.”

The episode satirized Kirk’s “Prove Me Wrong” debate style, with the character of Eric Cartman adopting Kirk’s appearance and mannerisms. It also featured a parody award ceremony called “The Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters.”
