Something strange is going on at Comedy Central HQ.

South Park creators Trey Stone and Matt Parker issued a rare statement on Wednesday, just hours before the latest episode of their headline-making 27th season was supposed to air, saying the new episode wouldn’t make it to screens because they “didn’t get it done in time.”

“Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don’t get it done. This one’s on us. Thanks to Comedy Central and South Park fans for being so understanding. Tune in next week,” the duo wrote.

It’s particularly questionable given the anticipation surrounding the upcoming fifth episode, which would’ve been the first to go to air since Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah last week.

The move also kicked off a turbulent day in US television, with veteran late night host Jimmy Kimmel having his show pulled “indefinitely” on the ABC network over recent comments he made about Kirk’s death.

In what’s been labelled an “attack on free speech”, Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been sensationally stalled after the host peddled a conspiracy that Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was a member of the “MAGA gang”.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said in his monologue Monday.

The latest season of South Park has spurred significant controversy, with the notoriously-unrestrained show going after US President Donald Trump and MAGA culture like it never has before, with Kirk himself mocked in an episode just weeks before he was killed at a university in the US state.
