Podcaster Joe Rogan responded to the Season 27 premiere of South Park, which mocked President Donald Trump, during a recent episode of his podcast, describing it as “hilarious” and saying it is “the greatest show of all time.”
Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Rogan via email for comment outside of regular working hours.
Why It Matters

Rogan has recently joined a cacophony of angry voices who have spoken out against Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department’s handling of its findings from the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump’s fan base has been in revolt since the DOJ released a two-page memo earlier this month, which said they had found “no incriminating ‘client list'” after an “exhaustive review” of government documents related to the case.
What To Know
During Friday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan was joined by Mike Baker, and they discussed the Trump administration’s handling of documents relating to Epstein.
While they were discussing the “chaos” of current politics, Rogan brought up the South Park episode.
The episode titled “Sermon on the Mount” depicts Trump in bed with Satan, complaining about the size of his penis, and arguing with the Canadian prime minister. The episode also referenced the “Epstein list,” the alleged list of clients involved in convicted sex offender Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
“There’s so much chaos, there’s so much madness,” Rogan said, before asking Baker if he had seen the South Park episode. “They did a Donald Trump on with Satan.”
“It’s f****** hilarious,” he said.
“They haven’t given a f*** since the beginning, and it’s the greatest show of all time,” Rogan said.
South Park’s creators took the stage at Comic-Con in California shortly after the episode—and the ensuing slew of headlines about it—aired.
The two were asked by panel moderator Josh Horowitz if they had been following the reaction to the show. Parker jokingly responded: “We’re terribly sorry.”
What People Are Saying
White House Spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone on Thursday morning that South Park: “Hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history—and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
What’s Next
The Season 27 premiere of South Park came after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus of the show, and came a day after the show’s creators Parker and Stone had reached a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount.
They signed a reported $900 million deal to extend South Park to Season 30, which should take the show up to 2027. The 26th season featured six episodes, so this season may take a similar format.
