After new Paramount deal, ‘South Park' takes on Trump, Colbert cancellation, and more in season premiere
Advertisement 'You remind me more and more of this other guy I used to date. Like, a lot,' Satan tells Trump while they're in bed together. The episode, titled 'Sermon on the 'Mount,' also features many NSFW jokes featuring the president in the nude. Tackling everything from the alleged Randy Marsh (voiced by Parker) starts to rally the town against the president after his son's school starts emphasizing Christian teachings, with Jesus (voiced by Stone) literally patrolling the halls. While enjoying a cookout at the White House, Trump gets a call from Randy and other supporters who are turning on him, with the president telling them to chill out. Advertisement 'Listen, buddy, you just need to relax,' he tells Randy. 'All this protesting makes me look bad.' When Randy refuses, Trump threatens to sue the whole town for $5 billion. The citizens later gather for a rally covered by '60 Minutes' correspondents, who are a bit more cautious about how they present the news in the aftermath of the Jesus later appears during the event, explaining to everyone that he didn't want to be in the schools, but had to 'because it was part of a lawsuit and the agreement with Paramount.' Comedy Central, which airs 'South Park,' is also owned by Paramount, with Parker and Stone inking a 'You guys saw what happened to CBS. Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount! Do you really want to end up like Colbert? You guys gotta stop being stupid,' Jesus tells the crowd. 'If someone has the power of the presidency and also has the power to sue and take bribes, then he can do anything to anyone!' he added. 'It's the [expletive] president, dude. All of you shut the [expletive] up or South Park is over.' The episode ends with the town agreeing to a $3.5 million settlement with the president, with the South Park mayor noting that they'll 'just have to cut some funding for our schools and hospitals and roads, and that should be that.' Advertisement The agreement also includes a provision for the town to produce 'pro-Trump messaging.' The episode ends with a PSA for Trump, featuring what appears to be an AI-generated video of the president walking through a desert and disrobing.

Stephen Colbert's cancellation is making Democrats furious!
Why is the Democratic Party so furious about Stephen Colbert's cancelation? That's a question I've been asking myself all week, ever since we learned that the late-night host is losing his show, after CBS decided that $40 million in losses each year is too high a price to pay. This really shouldn't come as much of a surprise to people: It's hard out there for large traditional television organizations. They now face all sorts of competition from streaming and social media, from independent people who are, in some cases, a lot funnier than Stephen Colbert and can do what late-night hosts do for a fraction of the cost. I say there's more fun to be had on YouTube, on TikTok, on Substack, on X and elsewhere. That's how more and more people are getting their entertainment and their news — and late night is going to have to catch up. It just doesn't have the same relevancy, or pack the same punch. So ultimately, this was quite clearly a business decision. But try telling them that. Colbert is certainly acting like this is Donald Trump's fault — isn't everything. In fact, he recently swore at Trump on air, and Jon Stewart went further, singing an entire profanity-laden song about how much he hates Trump. I won't play the clip, because my very patient producers are getting sick of having to bleep every video I've requested this week, between this and Hunter Biden. Now look — even Keith Olbermann, perhaps the most relentlessly partisan, anti-Trump, anti-Republican mainstream progressive commentator on the planet, thinks this was probably just a business decision. He wrote on X: 'If they fired him to appease Trump, why are they letting him remain on the air as a lame duck, with nobody to stop him saying whatever he wants, for the next TEN MONTHS? They may have timed it to use it as a sop to Trump but this is like Phil Donahue getting cancelled.' Donahue being another former commentator, one I quite liked, who was eventually put out to pasture for business reasons. When Keith Olbermann is providing you a much-needed sanity check, you should be very, very afraid. Ultimately, I don't really blame the other late-night hosts — Stewart, Kimmel, Fallon, etc. — for showing industry solidarity with Colbert. But why are Democratic politicians also so upset about the cancelation? And trust me, they are furious. Rep. Ted Lieu is actually circulating a petition telling CBS not to cancel Colbert. Doesn't he have more important things to do, possibly on behalf of his constituents? Sen. Bernie Sanders weighed in as well. Bernie writes on X: 'CBS's billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance. Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slams the deal. Days later, he's fired. Do I think this is a coincidence? NO.' Again, he has no evidence whatsoever that this was anything other than a business decision. The show was a huge money loser! I know Bernie isn't a huge fan of capitalism, but generally, when you're losing tons of money, the business pivots. Perhaps under democratic socialism, we'd have subsidized terrible political comedy? And of course Sen. Elizabeth Warren is equally outraged. Seriously, she won't stop tweeting about this. Does anyone think for a minute that various Democratic politicians would be furious if a conservative news channel canceled a conservative show? Or even if a show like the one you're watching right now, 'Rising,' got axed? We speak to perspectives all over the place. I doubt it would matter to most Democratic officials, except maybe to a few friends of the program who've enjoyed being interviewed here. No, the reason the end of Colbert is so infuriating is because the Democratic Party likes the content: And the content of Colbert was reliably anti-Trump. It just wasn't very funny.

CBS News names '60 Minutes' veteran Tanya Simon as broadcast's new top producer
CBS News said Thursday it has selected Tanya Simon as the top producer at '60 Minutes,' elevating a respected insider in a closely-watched appointment given the turmoil that enveloped the newsmagazine with the settlement of President Donald Trump's lawsuit. Simon, daughter of the late '60 Minutes' correspondent Bob Simon, becomes only the fourth executive producer of the influential newsmagazine since it was invented by Don Hewitt in the late 1960s. She's been executive editor of the broadcast, and running it on an interim basis since her predecessor Bill Owens quit in April, saying he questioned whether he'd be allowed to lead the program as he saw fit. Owens had opposed settling Trump's lawsuit over the editing of last fall's interview with Kamala Harris. CBS News parent company Paramount Global agreed earlier this month to pay Trump $16 million to end their dispute. Simon has worked at '60 Minutes' for 25 years, and was strongly supported by many at the famously insular broadcast to take over for Owens. 'Tanya Simon understands what makes '60 Minutes' tick,' said Tom Cibrowski, president and executive editor of CBS News. 'She is an innovative leader, an exceptional producer, and someone who knows how to inspire people.' In May, seven '60 Minutes' correspondents signed a letter to Paramount Global management urging that Simon be appointed. 'As much as we will miss Bill Owens, we believe — no, we know — that his long-term successor must come from within,' the correspondents wrote. Crucially, Simon's appointment came before the Trump administration's approval of Paramount Global's proposed merger with Skydance Media, a takeover that is expected to result in changes at CBS News. ___ David Bauder writes about the intersection of media and entertainment for the AP.
