A “South Park” episode lampooning Charlie Kirk was reportedly pulled from Comedy Central’s lineup after the right-wing activist was killed on a Utah college campus Wednesday.
The episode titled “Got a Nut” originally aired Aug. 6 and was schedule to run again next week, according to the Arizona Republic. That repeat was the second installment from the salty animated program’s ongoing 27th season, which continues with a new episode Sept. 24.
Kirk expressed approval for “Got a Nut” when it debuted with the cranky character Cartman deciding he would become a chauvinistic ultra-conservative media figure donning a haircut like Kirk’s.
The 31-year-old Republican party rising star posted clips of the episode he reportedly called a “badge of honor” during a Fox News interview.
“Not bad, Cartman,” he posted on X alongside video of his cartoon likeness arguing with a woman about reproductive rights last month.

Comedy Central’s parent company Paramount didn’t respond to a request for comment, but a network source reportedly told Deadline “Got a Nut” will likely run again once emotions cool a bit.
Kirk’s killing was loudly condemned by supporters and critics alike. Law enforcement asked for the public’s help in identifying a person of interest pictured in video stills released Thursday. It’s unclear why the conservative influencer was targeted.
The “South Park” episode mocking Kirk is still available for streaming on Paramount+. Comedy Central has so far aired new programs every other week with re-runs in between.
