South Park keeps reaping rewards from trolling the Trump administration.
The latest episode, which brutally mocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, drew the biggest audience share in South Park’s 28-year history, CNN reported, citing a statement by Comedy Central.
In a TV landscape packed with hundreds of viewing options, nearly 16 percent of all people watching cable last Wednesday tuned in to the animated satire.
Season 27’s second episode ranked as the most-watched show on all cable channels on its debut day and marked South Park’s highest rated episode since 2018.
Including Paramount+ viewers, the episode pulled in an audience of 6.2 million in its first three days. By comparison, the season’s record breaking premiere drew 5.9 million cross-platform viewers.
