'South Park' spoofs Trump and sees ratings soar in its 27th season

Comedy Central "SOUTH PARK" has also mocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Ratings for the 27th season of the irreverent and often ribald animated series have surged, according to data from Nielsen and Comedy Central. The second episode, which premiered Aug. 6, scored 6.2 million viewers across the cable network and Paramount+, now the exclusive streaming home for the series, over the first three days.

The figure is 49% higher than the first three days for the season premiere, which debuted July 23. The second episode had 1.56 million viewers on Comedy Central, making it the highest-rated episode since 2018, with nearly all of them in the 18-to-49 age group coveted by advertisers.
