After its chart busting premiere episode, which encored last week and continues to rack up views on streaming, South Park Season 27’s second episode drew even more eyeballs to the Comedy Central broadcast premiere. The Wednesday, August 6 installment, “Got a Nut,” blasted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, ICE agents and JD Vance (and of course, Satan’s new paramour President Trump).

The second ep. pulled 838,000 viewers for its first airing, almost double the 430,000 who were the first to watch the July 23 season premiere. This makes the initial broadcast of “Got a Nut” the third-most-viewed in the past three seasons of South Park, after the March 2023 episode “Deep Learning,” which poked fun at AI text bot ChatGPT (1.04 million viewers), and the Season 25 premiere “Pajama Day” in February 2022 (844,000 viewers).
The ICE melting episode was the second biggest primetime show for adults 18-49 that night, pulling 455,000 pairs of eyeballs from the demo. The No. 1 slot went to Big Brother on CBS (800k+ viewers 18-49). The big turnout for South Park also helped lift numbers for Andy Samberg’s animated archaeologist comedy Digman!, which kept 264,000 viewers tuned in afterward.
The S27 premiere, “Sermon on the 'Mount,” caused huge buzz with its shipping of Donald Trump and South Park‘s Satan and some literally below the belt punches. The episode launched on Paramount+ the next day and racked up 5.9 million views in just three days through the platform and other delayed viewing.
