Actress and stuntwoman Janeshia Adams-Ginyard isn’t afraid to admit she may have voted for Donald Trump, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying the satirical punches “South Park” throws at him and his administration.
We caught up with Janeshia at LAX on Friday, and naturally, we asked her about the show’s fearless lampooning of figures like Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Her take? “South Park” goes after everyone—left and right alike.
Playing Cartman, Shining a Light on Issues
Janeshia recently voiced the Black, female version of Eric Cartman in “South Park: Joining the Panderverse,” a film that skewers the woke left. She praised the show for being an equal opportunity offender, using comedy to highlight societal and political problems across the board.
“They don’t discriminate,” she told us. “Comedy’s supposed to hold a mirror to the country, and ‘South Park’ does it in a way that’s funny and sharp.”
A New Target Suggestion: Governor Gavin Newsom
When asked who else could use a satirical spotlight, Janeshia didn’t hold back. She suggested California Governor Gavin Newsom, joking that he’d make for a perfect target in future episodes.
Right vs. Left: Who Can Take a Joke?
Some conservative viewers have pushed back against the jokes, claiming they’re too harsh. Janeshia, however, defends the right’s sense of humor, arguing that many on the left struggle to take a joke.
“Comedy’s suggestive. You’ve got to laugh a little,” she said, smiling.
Trump’s Response: Irrelevant or Still Cultural?
While Trump’s camp has dismissed the show as irrelevant, Janeshia says it doesn’t diminish its cultural impact. According to her, even if the president disagrees, the show remains funny, bold, and culturally significant.
Other Pop Culture Takes: Stephen Colbert and More
Janeshia also weighed in on the departure of Stephen Colbert from late night, celebrating the shift and hinting that there’s another prominent talk show she hopes meets the same fate.
Comedy That Pushes Boundaries
Not everyone shares Janeshia’s sense of humor. Some critics argue the jokes are over the line, but she maintains that good satire challenges audiences and provokes thought, even if it ruffles feathers.
