South Park Trolls Trump, Google, and Apple With Official Season 29 Name Change

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are changing the show's name for its upcoming Season 29 to SOUTH AMERICA, as a jab at Apple, Google, and former U.S. President Donald Trump. The first episode of the six-episode season premieres on September 16 at 10pm ET/PT on Comedy Central and the following day on Paramount+.
