Charlie Kirk would supposedly want the “South Park” sequence to be seen again about him.
Andrew Kolvet, Executive Producer of the “Charlie Kirk Show” and close friend of the murdered conservative activist, commented on his presentation in the South Park series after the death of Charlie Kirk. Kolvet said that Kirk had “loved it in” South Park “and would have thought that the episode should continue to be broadcast.
Recommendations of the editorial team
The episode of “South Park”, which was broadcast on August 6, with the title “Got a Nut” showed how Cartman Kirk imitates and debated with students about politics. After Kirk was shot at a university on September 10th during a speech, comedy Central took the episode from the linear charisma. On the other hand, it remains available on Paramount+.
“As someone who can talk about it with a certain authority: Charlie loved that he was in” South Park “,” wrote Kolvet on X. “He told me many times. He would want the episode to be online again.”
Charlie Kirk expressed himself positively about the “South Park” satire
Already in July, when a first teaser was published, Kirk had reacted positively to satire. “To be honest, my first reaction was that I laughed a bit,” he said in an interview with Fox News Digital. Kirk recalled that he had already seen “South Park” in the high school and described the series as “offensive”. “It’s kind of funny, and it shows a bit the cultural influence and what resonance our movement could achieve. I see it as an honor.”
At that time, Kirk even changed the profile picture of the “Charlie Kirk Show” on Instagram and Tiktok: It showed a screenshot from Cartman as Charlie Kirk. These profile photos can still be seen on the social media channels.
The controversial founder of Turning Point USA also added: “We, as a conservative, have to be able to endure a joke. We should not take ourselves so seriously. This is something that the left has always done – to its big disadvantage and movement. Look, they are professional comedians. You will probably ignore me, and I think that’s what you want in public life.”
