South Park wins the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program at the 2026 Emmys for its episode “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” ending a 13-year drought in that category. The series returns to the category after a stretch of no nominations and takes the top prize on the night of the awards. Co-creator Trey Parker thanks fans during the ceremony.
Following the win, the show posts celebratory content that includes jokes targeting President Donald Trump. Both outlets frame the reaction as part of South Park’s longstanding approach to topical political satire. Deadline highlights the show’s taunting of Trump in social media posts, while ComingSoon.net similarly emphasizes the combination of the Emmy celebration and the continued targeting of Trump. The sources align on the episode title, the award category, and the time gap since South Park’s last win, but differ mainly in emphasis between the onstage remarks and the specifics of the online response.
