"You won't see that " South Park" episode mocking Charlie Kirk on Comedy Central the next time you turn on your TV. The network pulled a rerun of the episode "Got a Nut" from its linear TV rotation, a source familiar with the situation confirmed to Business Insider. The episode, which featured a satirical portrayal of Kirk, is still available on Paramount+ and CC on Demand, the source said. It is also still available on the iTunes store."
"In "Got a Nut," the parody character debates other students about hot-button political issues, much in Kirk's style. Donning a similar hairstyle to Kirk, he calls himself a "master debater," holds up a Bible, and tells an opponent, "You just hate America and you love abortions." The episode later features an awards show called the "Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters.""
"Kirk praised the episode on TikTok after its release, calling it "hilarious" and an example of "our viral cultural domination." He also changed his avatar on TikTok to a photo of "South Park" character Eric Cartman's portrayal of him in the episode. Before it aired, he told Fox that the episode was a "badge of honor.""
