  • The show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, criticized their parent company Paramount, now merged with Skydance Corporation, calling it a Skydance Capitulation in their satirical X account statement.
  • South Park won an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program for its 27th season premiere, which included satire of Trump depicted in a loveless marriage with Satan and political storylines involving J.D. Vance.
  • President Trump issued executive orders renaming certain geographic features amid trade tensions with Canada, leading Apple and Google to change their map labels for U.S. users while Canadian and other international users saw original or dual names.
