**Donald Trump Pushes to Cancel ‘South Park’ Over Controversial Penis Joke**
*Published: October 2, 2025, 4:05 p.m. ET*
Donald Trump is reportedly working behind the scenes to have the animated comedy *South Park* pulled from the air after the series ridiculed the size of his genitals — sparking fears in Hollywood of another politically motivated cancellation. This follows the highly controversial temporary axing of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The 79-year-old former U.S. president was mocked in the latest season of the long-running animated series, which depicted him naked and accompanied by a talking penis. While *South Park* has lampooned figures across the political spectrum for more than two decades, Trump is said to have taken extreme personal offense at this particular gag, with insiders claiming he is leaning on Paramount executives to shut the show down.
### Delayed Episode Fuels Speculation
Episode three of the current season was unexpectedly delayed this week, fueling speculation about possible White House pressure influencing the decision to postpone its airing. A source close to the production explained:
> “Trump has been fuming about the way *South Park* portrayed him. He’s convinced the writers are obsessed with humiliating him and is now trying to use back-channel pressure to make sure the show doesn’t survive.
>
> People on the team think it’s no coincidence that *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* was abruptly canceled after years of mocking Trump – and they fear *South Park* could be next.”
### Will ‘South Park’ Be Canceled?
The backlash intensified after a White House statement dismissed the series as “irrelevant for 20 years” — a remark that backfired by driving up viewership. Ratings for episode two of the new season doubled those of the premiere, underscoring the cultural impact of the controversy.
Another insider shared:
> “The president hates being made fun of, especially about his body. He sees the ‘tiny penis’ gag as crossing a line and is determined to punish the creators.
>
> The delay of episode three has sent shockwaves through the writers’ room. Everyone is braced for the possibility the plug could be pulled altogether.”
### Trump’s Warning to the Creators
The satire has not targeted Trump alone. Recent episodes also lampooned Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as a puppy killer whose surgically altered face slides off, and Vice President JD Vance was portrayed as a diminutive sidekick greasing up Satan. Both officials responded publicly, with Vance sarcastically commenting online:
> “Well, I’ve finally made it.”
However, Trump’s team is reportedly pursuing a different, more aggressive approach. A senior entertainment source revealed:
> “What’s alarming is that this isn’t just bluster. Trump has already shown with Colbert and Kimmel that he’s willing to interfere when executives need White House approval for corporate mergers.
>
> Now he’s signaling that Parker and Stone could face the same treatment unless the jokes stop.”
### ‘It’s Personal’
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount in 2021 to deliver new *South Park* episodes and films through 2027. Yet, in light of recent events, their deal looks far less secure.
The show has weathered controversy before — from caricatures of Saddam Hussein to episodes focusing on Scientology and Muhammad — but the threat of presidential retaliation is new territory.
A source close to the matter commented:
> “For Trump, it’s personal. He’s never forgiven late-night hosts for laughing at him, and he sees *South Park* as even more damaging because it appeals to younger viewers.
>
> After Kimmel’s cancellation, insiders believe Trump feels emboldened. He wants to make an example out of the show and scare other networks into line.”
