‘South Park' Lets Loose With A Trump, Satan & JD Vance Ménage À Trois, ICE Raiding Heaven & Kristi Noem Shooting Dogs

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details of tonight's episode 'Got a Nut' — like, a lot of details. With a nod — a head butt, really — to Donald Trump and masked ICE abductions of undocumented immigrants and U.S. citizens, South Park was very relevant tonight. More from Deadline 'Well, I Finally Made It': JD Vance Responds To His Blistering 'South Park' Debut 'South Park' Trolls Donald Trump's DHS Ahead Of ICE Barbie Episode: 'Wait, So We ARE Relevant?' Ramsey Naito To Remain Paramount Animation Head; Skydance Animation Stays Solo Post-Merger Under John Lasseter & Holly Edwards - The Dish Just ask Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. 'A few years ago I had to put my puppy down by shooting it in the face, because sometimes doing what's important means doing what's hard,' the animated Noem says in the second episode of the 27th season of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated satire. (Throughout the episode Noem, who confessed to putting her own dog down, shoots multiple puppies on the streets, in heaven and while having a bath.) RELATED: But back to the video. The bulletproof vest-wearing Noem is addressing ICE agent recruits by video, including laid off South Park teacher Mr. Mackey. The perpetually camera-ready former Governor of South Dakota ends her video to the newbies by promising that 'together we will make sure everyone is in this country legally.' Then ICE goes after Dora the Explorer. Then, raising the stakes, and with Noem declaring 'remember, only detain the Brown ones, if it's Brown it goes down,' they raid Heaven too. Seriously. There is also Cartman as right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk doing his podcast on the toilet while getting busy. Oh yeah, VP Vance made his South Park debut Wednesday. He's stylized as a sycophantic Tattoo from the original run of Fantasy Island to Trump's white-suited Mr. Roarke. It was both the best and worst Hervé Villechaize impersonation you'll ever get in up-to-the-minute primetime. In that, there was more on POTUS' love affair with an increasingly red-faced Satan — with the chubby cheeked Veep offering a small tribute to Sean 'Diddy' Combs via a promise of a massage of sorts to the fallen angel. 'Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan's assh*le, boss?' inquires Vance about a potential MAGA ménage à trois. After that, the best efforts of big screen Superman's best four-legged friend Krypto to save newly appointed DHS boss Mackey from getting pulled in bed with Trump and Satan at Mar-A-Lago ends badly. Eager to keep her job and her cred, ICE Barbie Noem shoots another dog dead — and promptly loses her allegedly surgically enhanced face. So, let's just say, two weeks after the delayed (and ratings surging) Season 27 premiere offered the most mocking and effective kick to Trump's 'tiny teeny' since the increasingly authoritarian former Celebrity Apprentice host returned to the White House, tonight's 'Got a Nut' episode on the now David Ellison-owned Comedy Central again went for the the groin as well as the jugular. After the delayed July 23 episode 'Sermon on the Mount' depicted a less than well-endowed Trump in bed with a less than satisfied Lord of Hell and a naked, live-action president in the desert in a pseudo-PSA (one of many stabs at Paramount and its recent $16 million knee bend to POTUS) Trump was reportedly 'seething' and the Executive Branch went ballistic. This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' the White House Taylor Rogers exclaimed. 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.' This week, after ICE tried to be witty and lift an advance image from tonight's episode for its X feed, South Park hit back: 'Wait, so we ARE relevant?' On Tuesday they also added a certain hashtag as a kicker. Tonight's episode confirmed it more than ever: Yes, indeed you are!

The Gilded Age Season 4 - News, Cast, Updates, More

The penultimate episode of the third season of The Gilded Age ended not with the clang of a champagne glass, but with a bang (quite literally) when the Russell family patriarch found himself on the receiving end of a gun moments before the credits rolled. It was a shocking moment, particularly given the relatively poised and civil nature of the series — though, given poor John Adams's equally shocking death in the previous episode, it's becoming a bit of a pattern these days. So will George Russell manage to survive his injuries? The trailer for the season finale makes it seem like his fate could go either way. But what about the fate of The Gilded Age itself? With the show's third season coming to a close, many fans will undoubtedly be curious about when — or even if — the HBO Max hit series will return for a fourth go-round. And since it would be downright rude not to oblige, here's everything you need to know about The Gilded Age season 4: Unlike the fate of George Russell, the future of The Gilded Age is already known. HBO officially renewed the series for a fourth season back in July, which means more drama and societal hijinks is on the horizon. 'We couldn't be prouder of the undeniable viewership heights The Gilded Age has achieved this season,' HBO's Francesca Orsi said in a statement, as per Deadline. 'Transporting us to 1880s New York City, Julian Fellowes and the enormously talented cast and crew have created a 'cant-miss it' entertainment experience from week to week, and we're delighted to continue exploring these characters' grand ambitions for what we promise will be a thrilling fourth season.' Considering that we don't know how the season will end, it's impossible to say for sure what sort of content season 4 will cover. But odds are that a lot of these storylines from season 3 will be wrapping up to make way for new adventures and problems, in equal measure. Most likely, season 4 should reveal where Marion and Larry stand in regards to their romantic relationship, once and for all, now that the whole truth is out in the open. And, of course, depending upon when or if George Russell is able to recover from his injuries, there are bound to be lasting ripple effects from the shooting for the entire Russell family, both physically and emotionally. This show has been fairly regular with churning out seasons as opposed to keeping fans waiting for years on end, though their release schedule has been a little sporadic. Season 1 premiered in January 2022, followed by season 2 debuting in October 2023. Meanwhile, season 3 kicked off in June 2025. That makes predicting the season 4 premiere a little tricky — at least when it comes to guessing the month — but it seems fairly plausible that the series will return sometime in 2026, barring any scheduling conflicts with the cast, which isn't too far away. Normally, I would say that this show doesn't have a history of killing off central characters a la Game of Thrones-style, which would make every character's return very likely. However, that sentiment doesn't really seem to track these days. Morgan Spector recently told Variety that viewers should be 'very worried' in regards to George Russell's fate on the show, even going so far as to admit that 'I don't have a contract for next season yet, so who knows?' But while poor George's head may be on the chopping block, you would think many of the other key players will be coming back, including Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Denée Benton, Louisa Jacobson, Harry Richardson, and Blake Ritson, among many others. Though, this season has been particularly fraught with peril, so with the finale still looming on the horizon, who knows what could happen.
