Parker was asked for his reaction to the fracas as he sat on the stage at San Diego's at the beginning of a Comedy Central animation panel that also included his “South Park� partner Matt Stone, “Beavis and Butt-Head� creator Mike Judge, and actor Andy Samberg, who co-created the animated “Digman!�

Earlier in the day, the White House issued a statement on the 27th season premiere, which aired Wednesday night.

“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,� White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in the statement. “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.�

Later in the panel, Parker said they did get a note from their producers on Tuesday night's episode.

“They said, ‘OK, but we’re gonna blur the penis,’ and I said, ‘No you’re not gonna blur the penis,’� Parker said.

The premiere also took aim at Paramount and its with Trump just hours after Parker and Stone signed a five-year deal with the company for 50 new episodes and streaming rights to previous seasons. The Los Angeles Times and other outlets report the deal was worth $1.5 billion.

In the episode, Trump sues the town of South Park when its residents challenge the presence of Jesus Christ – the actual person – in its elementary school.

Jesus tells them they ought to settle.

“You guys saw what happened to CBS? Yeah, well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount,� Jesus says. “Do you really want to end up like Colbert?�

CBS and parent Paramount Global last week, days after Colbert sharply criticized Paramount's settlement of Trump’s lawsuit over a “60 Minutes� interview.

CBS and Paramount executives said it was a financial decision to axe “The Late Show.�

The efficiency of “South Park� production, and the brinksmanship of its creators, allow it to stay incredibly current for an animated series.

“I don’t know what next week’s episode is going to be,� Parker said at Comic-Con. “Even just three days ago, we were like, ‘I don’t know if people are going to like this.’�
