Trump's Depiction by South Park Sparks Joe Rogan's Laughter: 'Amusing'
In the world of entertainment and politics, two influential figures have found themselves at the centre of a recent discussion: podcaster Joe Rogan and the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
The Season 27 premiere of South Park, which aired after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, made waves with its controversial episode titled "Sermon on the Mount." The episode featured Donald Trump in bed with Satan, engaging in a heated argument with the Canadian prime minister, and making light of the infamous "Epstein list."
Rogan, who endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election, described the premiere as "hilarious" and the "greatest show of all time." However, no comment has been received yet from a representative for Rogan regarding his response to the episode's portrayal of Trump.
The discussion about the South Park episode occurred during a conversation about the "chaos" of current politics on The Joe Rogan Experience. Rogan and Mike Baker, a guest on the show, also delved into the Trump administration's handling of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein.
Meanwhile, the White House Spokesperson, Taylor Rogers, has been vocal about the show's relevance, stating that South Park "Hasn't been relevant for over 20 years" and is "hanging on by a thread." Trump's fan base, however, has been in revolt since the Department of Justice released a two-page memo about the Epstein investigation findings, which found "no incriminating 'client list.'"
In a recent development, Rogan has joined voices speaking out against Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein investigation. It remains to be seen if the Season 27 premiere will follow a similar format, as speculation about the show's future direction continues to swirl.
On a brighter note, the show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, recently signed a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount. The deal includes a reported $900 million extension for Season 30, taking the show up to 2027. The 26th season of South Park, which featured six episodes, was the last to air under their previous deal.
As the dust settles, one thing is clear: the world of entertainment and politics continues to intertwine in unexpected ways, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
