Matt Stone and Trey Parker have done it again. The talented duo and their team at Comedy Central’s South Park won the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program on Sunday’s (September 6) Creative Arts awards night. This marked the satiric show’s first nomination in five years and first win in 13 years.

South Park has won the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program in 2005 (“Best Friends Forever”), 2007 (“Make Love, Not Warcraft”), 2008 (“Imaginationland”), 2009 (“Margaritaville”), 2013 (“Raising the Bar”), and 2026 (“Sermon on the ‘Mount”). The show also received a Television Academy Honors recognition in 2026. It has received a total of 21 Emmy nominations in its 28-season history.
During Sunday night’s Creative Emmy award ceremony, Trey Parker, who was also nominated for character voice-over trophy this year, expressed gratitude to the show’s fans and supporters through the years. “A big thank you to the greatest fans in the world,” he said. “It’s only because of you guys that we haven’t been canceled in 30 years.” Trey Parker’s song “Christian Woman” was also nominated for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.
After the win, South Park mocked its frequent target, President Donald Trump once again on social media. The South Park characters are depicted alongside Satan, Jesus and Trump, who is holding an Emmy statuette with his pants and underwear down. The post’s slogan reads, “You Finally Got Your Emmy!” referring to the fact that Trump was nominated twice for an Emmy for exec producing NBC’s reality show The Apprentice, and lost CBS’s The Amazing Race both times.
South Park won this year’ Emmy for the two-part season premiere episode “Sermon on the Mount,” which took aim at the administration’s political and legal maneuvers, Christian nationalism in schools, and the handling of the Epstein files, and also depicted Trump and Satan as lovers. The White House responded by releasing the statement, “the show has been irrelevant for 20 years, relying on uninspired ideas for attention.” Nevertheless, the show continued to court controversy with hilarious depictions of Trump, J.D. Vance, Kristi Noem and Peter Thiel throughout the season.
