The comedy duo were asked if they'd anticipated such a strong reaction to the premiere during a Comedy Central panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

On June 23, a new season of the animated satire series kicked off with a bang. South Park eviscerated the U.S. president as well as its parent company Paramount’s merger with Skydance, in the jaw-dropping debut.

South Park creators revealed how they managed to skirt Comedy Central’s broadcast standards department by introducing a new "character."

Comedy Central’s “South Park” recently struck a five-year deal with Paramount after a merger delayed the Season 27 premiere.
