Trey Parker and Matt Stone addressed controversy surrounding the "South Park" season 27 premiere depicting President Trump's penis while speaking at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday.
South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone brought their show back with a vengeance on Wednesday, in an episode that took swings at both the parent company of the network that airs their popular animated series and President Donald Trump.
Paramount itself also wasn't safe from the ire of Parker and Stone. The episode also features a pair of animated "60 Minutes" anchors covering protests as they nervously praise Trump and insist they don't agree with the protesters, intimating that they might be worried he will sue again.
Following a near two-and-a-half-year hiatus, the premiere episode shows a naked Trump trying to seduce Satan, and came a day after the show's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had reached a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount.
Stephen Colbert took a moment in his monologue Thursday evening to praise the 'South Park' premiere for its AI-generated clip of Trump in the nude.
Reuters was unable to verify the precise language in the email which was described to the news agency by three sources familiar with its contents.
