'Matt and Trey are singular, creative forces whose fearless humor and boundary pushing storytelling have made South Park one of the most beloved and enduring series ever — more popular today than at any point in its history, and one of the most valuable TV franchises in the world, says Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment. 'They are exceptional talents and trusted partners – we're thrilled that Comedy Central and now Paramount+ globally will be the home to South Park for years to come and our thanks to the Skydance team for their vital partnership in making this happen.'
Adds Stone, 'Trey and I and the whole South Park crew are grateful for this extension and this deal. We want to thank Chris McCarthy and Keyes Hill-Edgar for years of great partnership and are looking forward to continuing to make South Park for the next five years.'
Echoing his partner's sentiment, Parker says, 'We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honored by the trust placed in us. This is about more than a contract — it's about our commitment to this organization, our teammates, and our fans. We're focused on building something special and doing whatever it takes to bring championships to this city.'
South Park's Season 27 premiere was previously slated for July 9, but it was delayed until July 27 due to complications with the merger of Skydance Media and Paramount Global. At the time, Parker and Stone released the following statement: 'This merger is a s–tshow and it's f–king up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.'

People Are Sharing The TV Shows And Movies That Spurred Their Sexual Awakening, And I Can't Help But Giggle
We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the TV show, movie, or other piece of media they consider responsible for their sexual awakening. Some of the results really made me giggle. Here's what folks revealed: 1."The Hex Girls. Dusk, the angsty drummer, just did something for me." —monikap6 2."Val Kilmer as Madmartigan in Willow. The hair, the declaration of love to Sorsha, holding Princess Elora Danan…Top shelf Daikini, that one." —luxahoy 3."Leah Remini on The King of Queens. She's still gorgeous, but in those early seasons, she was my first celebrity crush, and I realized what I wanted my wife to look like even when I was just a child. Now, that's still my type." —edgysealion411 4."David Bowie in Labyrinth. I'm sure I really don't have to say much more than that." —padawanryan 5."The Bangles' video for 'Walk Like an Egyptian' was the first time I remember getting the tingle feeling. Susanna Hoffs' eyes and Debbi Peterson dancing with the tambourine. It still gets me!" —theplunger10 6."Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And Alan Rickman in anything else. But that was the start." —pastelbutterfly37 7."Possibly a bit weird, but Lola Bunny in Space Jam has to be up there. The eyes, the voice, the athleticism were —Anonymous 8."Catherine Zeta-Jones and Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro. Especially when they spar in the stable and he slices off her clothes!" —Anonymous 9."Vanilla Ice, when he first came on the scene." —pepperopigeon 10."I must have been about 10 when I watched The Thorn Birds. I tried to watch it anytime it came on, just so I could watch Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward slow burn until they finally had sex. That was the only thing I cared about through the whole movie!" —ssstege11573 11."Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Both the horse and Little Creek. But I think mostly Spirit and Rain's 'romance' really did it for me." —Anonymous 12."The Rocky Horror Picture Show exposed me to bisexuality AND introduced me to Tim Curry. Perfection!" —Anonymous 13."Walking past Le Senza in the mall (I'm Canadian) had me wanting to kiss girls, so I was then pretty confused when Don Juan DeMarco came out and got me wanting to kiss boys. Turns out, I'm bi!" —Anonymous 14."The Phantom of the Opera film." —Anonymous 15."I saw the movie Hellraiser at a slumber party when I was around 13, and DID NOT expect the wild sexual energy that this movie has. In retrospect, it's a pretty well-known fact that Hellraiser explores a lot of pain/pleasure dynamics, but at the time, I was just really confused about why this random horror movie was making me feel so many THINGS. Also, I had an immediate hard crush on both Pinhead AND Kirsty, so there's the added bonus of realizing I was bi." —mcrivellokhan 16."Jasmine and Aladdin kissing on the magic carpet." —Anonymous 17."I was watching Hackers with Angelina Jolie. She was so tough, cool, and sexy. I didn't even notice the guys in that movie. My fiancé commented on her beauty and then tried to pressure me into a threesome with another woman. I said I'd rather break up with him and just date a girl like Angelina. I still think about her in that film in ways I never think of my ex. That's when I knew I was not only bisexual, but also not into assholes." —Anonymous 18."Jacob Black from New Moon. To this day, I'm still Team Jacob. Those abs, man, SWOON!" —Anonymous 19."Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic." —Anonymous 20."It was an early TV show called T.H.E. Cat. The leading man was a handsome cat burglar and wore lots of black turtlenecks and black leather gloves and was always tying up bad guys. I wanted him to tie me up because it made me feel funny. I found out later that the leading man was Robert Loggia, who was the 'dancing boss' in Big." —Anonymous 21."Seeing Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully in The X-Files being a badass medical doctor and even more badass FBI agent when women in male fields weren't nearly as common. She was sassy, smart, and a bad bitch! She is also still one of the hottest women alive. Scully forever!" —Anonymous 22."Watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 3, with Eliza Dushku as Faith. I already knew I was straight and attracted to women, but seeing Faith kick ass in leather pants cemented the type of woman I'm interested in. And I am now married to one." —Anonymous 23."Jim from Treasure Planet. At the start of the movie, when he's flying on the hoverboard, something about the ponytail and ear piercing had me obsessed for years." —Anonymous 24."Elvira: Mistress of the Dark." —Anonymous 25."'Cecilia' by Simon & Garfunkel has a line, 'Making love in the afternoon with Cecelia up in my bedroom.' As a 12-year-old, I was shocked to learn that people had sex during the day. Everything I had been told up until then said it was a nighttime affair." —Anonymous 26."Star Trek: Voyager. Jeri Ryan joined the cast just before my 12th birthday. That was the first time I felt the stirrings of sexual attraction. No nudity, no sex scenes. Just a beautiful woman in a suggestively tight body suit. That was the first twinge." —Anonymous "Sting semi-naked in Dune. Lean but a little muscular guys are still my type!" —Anonymous What do you think is responsible for your sexual awakening? Was it a suggestive movie scene? A swoon-worthy TV character?

Why did CBS cancel 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert?' Sounds fishy
On July 14, Stephen Colbert, host of "The Late Show" on CBS, called Paramount's $16 million settlement of a frivolous lawsuit by Donald Trump against "60 Minutes" "a big fat bribe." On July 17, CBS announced that it was canceling "The Late Show." And another Trump critic is silenced. Sort of. Colbert still has some time. 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season," Paramount and CBS executives said in a statement. "We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire 'The Late Show' franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television." Maybe so. But he's also going to be remembered as the late-night host who lost his job under suspicious circumstances. Colbert announced his cancellation on Thursday's show Colbert announced the news during Thursday's taping, and said he found out about the cancellation Wednesday. CBS says it is "purely a financial decision" that is "not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." Maybe so. Late-night shows are increasingly a financial burden on networks amid diminishing audiences, some of whom prefer to consume the shows in bite-sized chunks on TikTok and other social-media platforms. No company ever got into business to lose money, but with mergers like the impending one between Paramount and Skydance, a media company, which was the clear impetus for the settlement with Trump, the bottom line has never been more important. Colbert took over the show in September 2015, after David Letterman retired in May of that year. Letterman was a frequent critic of CBS, in a comedic but biting way. Certainly, Letterman made plenty of political jokes, but political humor has been Colbert's bread and butter since his days as host of "The Colbert Report," in which he adopted the persona of a conservative late-night host. He morphed into something closer to a more traditional host when he moved to CBS, but his opening monologue often includes scathing jokes about Trump. Canceling Stephen Colbert is another black eye for Paramount The move comes as speculation abounds about the future of Jon Stewart, host of "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central (a show Colbert was once a correspondent for). Comedy Central, like CBS, is owned by Paramount. And like Colbert, Stewart has been brutally critical about Paramount's settlement. On Thursday, Stewart said on "The Weekly Show," his podcast, that he didn't know if "The Daily Show" would be canceled after the merger. "They haven't called me and said, like, 'Don't get too comfortable in that office, Stewart,'' he said. 'But let me tell you something, I've been kicked out of s------r establishments than that. We'll land on our feet. No, I honestly don't know.' It's another black eye for Paramount ― more fallout from a cowardly settlement based on greed. Imagine not backing "60 Minutes," the gold standard of investigative journalism on TV. It's part of a scary landscape for legitimate media. ABC News also settled a suit with Trump that most experts think it could have won. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos, who owns the Washington Post, tries to cozy up with the president. Like Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's chief executive, has. The White House tries to stack briefings with MAGA-friendly personalities posing as reporters. Sometimes late-night humor is the best way to deal with these kinds of situations. Although after May 2026, not on CBS.
