Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

South Park returned last night after a two-year hiatus (a hiatus that was punctuated with three specials on Paramount+) and IT WAS A DOOZY. We need to talk about it:

The episode, “Sermon on the Mount” (which is a nod to Paramount), focused on the town of South Park protesting President Mushroom over his bringing Jesus into the classrooms, and Eric Cartman seeking relevance now that “woke is dead.”

60 Minutes is terrified to cover the protests:

South Park went after CBS and Paramount too.

And President Briber sues South Park for $5 billion (which, compared to how much he’s sued actual entities for, seems almost reasonable). Jesus urges them to settle with President Chronic Venous Insufficiency: “You guys saw what happened to CBS. You really want to end up like Colbert? Just shut up or we’re going to be cancelled. If someone has the power of the presidency, and also has the power to sue and take bribes, then he can do anything to anyone.”

So the town agrees to pay President $3.5 million: “That’s not so bad. We’ll just have to cut some funding for our schools and hospital and roads.”

But it’s the depiction of President Inflamer himself that is the most hilarious/dangerous/outrageous thing about the episode. There are multiple references to his small penis, which is also shown repeatedly.

South Park kicked off Season 27 by putting Donald Trump in bed with Satan.Trump is going to lose his mind.😆

(For the youngins among us, the “ex” that Satan is referring to is Saddam Hussein.)

And as part of the deal the town of South Park makes with President Dictator, they agree to run some pro-President Orangus ads. This is the ad. It is NSFW. I have warned you. (Oh, and there’s a website: HeTrumpedUs.com)

Oh — and there is some suggestion that this might just be the FIRST of 50 such “PSA”s to come out of South Park, which: LOL.

OK. SO. What you need to know about what makes all of this EVEN MORE AMAZING will require a timeline. 

Back on July 2, it was announced that South Park‘s return, which was scheduled for July 9th was being pushed back until July 23. Now, premiere dates get changed all the time, so this wasn’t exactly huge news.

EXCEPT, Matt Stone and Trey Parker turned it into big news when they posted on social media: “This merger is a shitshow and it’s fucking up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes, and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.” The merger, of course, being the Paramount/Skydance deal that was also at the center of the lawsuit President Violator lodged against 60 Minutes and CBS, which also happened to settle that exact same day, July 2.

On July 14, news broke that South Park had been pulled from Paramount+ in their global markets, and fans were PISSED and threatening to cancel their subscriptions. The episodes were pulled because of the deal mentioned above not going through in early July and being pushed back to the end of the month. (Here is more on the nitty gritty on what took so long for the deal to be done if you’re interested.)

On July 17, it was announced that CBS was canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, reportedly due to financial reasons. According to some reports, The Late Show was costing CBS $40 million.

Which is why some folks were taken aback yesterday, July 23, when it was announced that Paramount had struck a five-year, $1.5 BILLION deal with Matt Stone and Trey Parker for 50 more episodes of South Park.

So the fact that Paramount/Skydance are so terrified of President ThinSkin that they canceled Stephen Colbert and a 33-year institution to cater to his ego, only to immediately turn around and pay $1.5 billion for the honor of broadcasting and streaming one of the most brutal, gleefully immature and NSFW takedowns of that same President … it’s just … chef’s kiss, man. (R.I.P. Chef.)

As for the White House, yeah, they’re pissed:

“The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offense’ content, but suddenly they are praising the show,” White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers told Deadline this morning.

“Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows,” Rogers added. “This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”

LOL, OK BRO.

As for what happens next with the South Park guys and Paramount? There are a lot of people joking about South Park being canceled over this, and I get it, especially after what happened with The Late Show and the concern for The Daily Show. But that’s the beauty of it: Paramount just signed a $1.5 billion contract for five years with Parker and Stone, and they’re not going to walk away from that; they’re going to get their content.

That said, I do see the possibility of Paramount killing Comedy Central altogether at some point in the future, possibly the near future. Cable channels are just money-bleeders at this point, and just last week on his podcast, Jon Stewart compared Comedy Central to Muzak, which is honestly fair:

“I’d like to believe that without The Daily Show … I don’t know. Comedy Central is kind of like Muzak at this point. I think we’re the only sort of life that exists on a current basis other than South Park. But it’s the only thing on there,” he mused. “I’d like to think we bring enough value to the property. If they’re looking at it as purely a real estate transaction, I think we bring a lot of value. But that may not be their consideration. They may sell the whole f***ing place for parts, I just don’t know. We’ll deal with it when we do.”

When they do eventually shutter Comedy Central, South Park will remain on Paramount+ for the remainder of the contract. The only real question is what happens to The Daily Show?

Meanwhile, our biggest fighters against fascism seem to be a bunch of comedians, which, keep it up, guys.

And as if we didn’t already know: President Pedo is all over the Jeffrey Epstein files, obviously, and everyone in the White House has known about it since May.

We have a new Executive Producer for 60 Minutes, following Bill Owens’ exit in April. Tanya Simon, the woman who took over in the interim after Owens left, will remain in the position. We’ll see how it goes.

Top Chef will be headed to the Carolinas for season 23 on Bravo.

Zac Bagans would like you to pay attention to him again, please.

You guys: there is an X-Files Golden Book.

Try to contain your shock, but at least in the acting categories, older men dominate the Emmy nominations, whereas female nominees skew much younger. What a revelation, I know.

The feud between Ryan Murphy and Jack Schlossberg over Murphy’s upcoming JFK Jr. series, Love Story, is escalating:

New Nepo Baby just dropped.

The Chimp Crazy lady, Tonia Haddix, has been arrested after not paying legal fees owed to PETA and harboring another secret chimp in her basement.

Matthew Perry’s doctor, Salvador Plasencia, pleaded guilty to four counts of ketamine distribution.

Love is dead.

Oh no, feel better, Tom Jones! In tribute:
