'South Park' pulls episode mocking Charlie Kirk after assassination

A “South Park” episode lampooning Charlie Kirk is being pulled from the airwaves following the killing of the conservative activist.

The episode, called “Got a Nut” and which originally premiered last month, will not be airing as part of the Comedy Central show’s linear rotation, ITK has learned.

The episode — which largely focused its satire on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President Vance is still available on demand and on Paramount+.

Kirk was fatally shot Wednesday while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.

In the “South Park” episode, one of the animated show’s protagonists, Eric Cartman, appeared to dress as Kirk before engaging in a debate with a classmate.

The 31-year-old Turning Point USA co-founder had called the parody a “badge of honor,” saying before the episode aired that it would “show the cultural impact and the resonance that our movement has been able to achieve.” 

Kirk, who temporarily changed his social media profile picture to an image of Cartman, told Fox News in July, “I’m excited to watch it because, look, we as conservatives need to be able to take a joke, right?”

“We shouldn’t take ourselves so seriously,” he said at the time.
