Kendrick Lamar Comedy From Trey Parker and Matt Stone Moves to Spring 2026
The script for the project is by Vernon Chatman and while Paramount has yet to reveal any plot details, with the studio only describing the movie as an 'original live-action comedy.'
Lamar and Dave Free are producing through their company pgLang, while Stone and Parker are producing for Park County.
Paramount film chief Brian Robbins spoke about the project at last year's CinemaCon, calling it 'one of the funniest and most original scripts we've ever read.' The film is the first feature from the duo in more than two decades – their last feature was 2004's puppet-filled 'Team America: World Police;' before that was their Oscar-nominated 1999 'South Park' movie 'Bigger, Longer & Uncut.'
Lamar recently performed a political and Easter egg-packed Super Bowl halftime show and has won 22 Grammy awards (including several this year). On the film side of things, he appeared in last year's LEGO-fied Pharrell Williams documentary 'Piece by Piece' and oversaw the blockbuster soundtrack for Marvel Studios' 2018 smash 'Black Panther.'

Tom Homan says the hit comedy was 'bad rhetoric.'
Border Czar Tom Homan has made a connection between assaults on ICE agents and the department being ruthlessly parodied on the latest episode of South Park. Talking on NewsNation on Thursday, Homan said 'I think the South Park parody, I guess you'd call it, it's in bad form, especially right now.' South Park's Wednesday episode was a take-no-prisoners comic attack on ICE immigration raids, and featured a cartoon version of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem going on a dog shooting spree. At one point, the South Park ICE agents relocate their raids to heaven, where the Noem character says, 'Only detain the brown ones.' Solve the daily Crossword

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Welcome back as we take another look at your highlighted comments. President Donald Trump and his administration continue to clash with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The president took center stage during the premiere episode of the 27th season, and the feud shows no signs of slowing down. South Park went after Homeland Security on its social media pages and made Vice President JD Vance a key target in the latest episode, portraying him toddler-sized next to Trump. Once again, you made your voices heard. Whether you loved the show's bold humor or thought it went too far, your reactions have sparked lively debates and pushed the story forward. Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol for their inaugurations on January 20. Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol for their inaugurations on January comments of the week: On the 'South Park' Reply to Homeland Security's Social Post Original Article: South Park Mocks White House Over Homeland Security ICE Post Background: South Park fired back at the Trump administration after the Department of Homeland Security used the show to promote Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recruitment. Original Comment: "The funniest part is, most people wouldn't have particularly cared about the South Park episode until Trump threw his little tantrum. If Trump had simply ignored it, the episode would have gotten a bit of attention but people would have quickly moved on. Guess he never learned about the Streisand Effect. Trey and Matt were probably counting on that."—FindOut What Makes the Comment Noteworthy: South Park thrives on provocation, and by responding publicly, the administration only gave its creators the attention they sought—drawing even more eyes to the show. Original Comment: "I have no view one way or another, but I never got South Park. It was a strange cartoon. My room mate used to love it. I just walked away shaking my head. I never saw it funny and not all that satirical."–YoDaddyBack What Makes the Comment Noteworthy: It's a reminder that South Park's brand of humor isn't universal. While it's hailed by some as cutting-edge satire, others see it as confusing or off-putting. The diversity of perspectives in the comment section demonstrates how polarizing the show can be, even decades after its debut. Original Comment: "Just curious, what does conservative right wing satirical comedies look like? I get that the right wants to call South Park irrelevant and unoriginal, but doesn't the right have to have content, any content to make that claim?"—KevinBer702 What Makes the Comment Noteworthy: It reflects a larger cultural conversation about the role of satire across the political spectrum. It challenges critics to back up their claims with examples and opens the door for debate about whether satire is dominated by one side—or whether effective conservative satire exists at all. On the Latest 'South Park' Attack on the White House Original Article: 'South Park' Unleashes on JD Vance in New Episode Background: South Park targeted Vice President JD Vance in a new episode after previously taking aim at President Donald Trump in the season 27 opener. Original Comment: "I like South Park - took me awhile to warm up to them (Just like Family Guy), but they take aim at whoever they wish and it's funny all around. I've seen them tackle the left, right, celebrities, fads/crazes, Covid, Ozempic, and everything in between. Those that take their show to heart are just sad, sad, individuals. It's just raw humor …"—sawlt7123 What Makes the Comment Noteworthy: It captures what many fans appreciate about South Park: its equal-opportunity satire. By pointing out that the show spares no target—left, right, or cultural trend—it reminds readers that South Park has always thrived on pushing boundaries. For this viewer, the humor lies in its unpredictability and willingness to take shots at everyone, making it a cultural barometer as much as a comedy show. On 'South Park' Leaving HBO Max Original Article: 'South Park' Scrubbed from HBO Max This Week: Here's Why Background: South Park is set to be removed from HBO Max after signing an exclusive deal with Paramount Plus. Original Comment: "This show will not be around much longer. The disrespect shown to the Office of the Presidency will not be tolerated and the leftist responsible for it will not be indulged."—Wayne R What Makes the Comment Noteworthy: The commenter takes a much stronger approach to South Park and its continued spoofing of Trump and his administration—the comment evoked a strong response from fellow commenters.

CBS anchor claims Stephen Colbert is 'equal opportunist' when it comes to jokes
CBS anchor Nate Burleson said on Thursday that late-night host Stephen Colbert, whose show will end in May, was an "equal opportunist" when it came to making jokes. Burleson's fellow co-hosts Gayle King and Vladimir Duthiers agreed with Burleson as he said, "one thing we love about Colbert, he's an equal opportunist when it comes to cracking jokes." Colbert's monologue on Thursday included a jab at former President Joe Biden, as he imitated the former president volunteering to be an ICE agent in reaction to news that the Trump administration had ended the age cap for ICE agents. "I need a job, Jack! Put Joe back in the game, I need a job, Jack. Put me in, coach. I'll kick some a--. Here we go, there you go, take that, take this. Now watch me nay-nay. Jill! Jill, I got a job!" Colbert joked, imitating Biden, taking aim at his age. Colbert, who has helped raise money for Biden, did not ask former Vice President Kamala Harris about the former president's decline while in office during her first interview since her failed bid for the presidency. Colbert remained a supporter of Biden throughout his presidency, though occasionally making fun of the president's age, and has overwhelmingly welcomed liberal lawmakers and media personalities on his show. The liberal late-night host's show is set to end in May, as CBS cited financial reasons for ending the program. Since his show was canceled, Colbert has interviewed Harris, former labor secretary Robert Reich, Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill.., Gov. Josh Shapiro, D-Pa., Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. At least 200 episodes of Colbert's show have featured members of the liberal media. Colbert's monologues have mostly been focused on critiques of President Donald Trump, members of his administration, and other top news stories of the day. He has also criticized his parent company, Paramount, for settling with Trump in a lawsuit that stemmed from a "60 Minutes" interview. Colbert accused the company of accepting a "big fat bribe."
