'South Park' to take on Bill Cosby in holiday special

Since sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby began cropping up, everyone from the Internet's best meme-makers to Tina Fey has weighed in on the situation. This week, though, the masters of satire behind "South Park" will take on Cosby in their upcoming holiday special.

Since sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby began cropping up, everyone from the Internet's best meme-makers to Tina Fey has weighed in on the situation. This week, though, the masters of satire behind South Park will take on Cosby in their upcoming holiday special.

Dubbed "#HappyHolograms,' the new episode of South Park will air Wednesday at 10 p.m., but the recently released teaser ought to have enough to tide you over. In it, we can see Taylor Swift, the pride of Reading, seated next to none other than Bill Cosby, who is himself holding a glass of wine.

However, the upcoming episode is not the first time Cosby has been featured in South Park. In fact, the show poked fun at the embattled comedian in 2001's "Here Comes the Neighborhood," which features Cosby moving to the fictional town after it is described as the "next Aspen."

This week's episode, the season finale, will also feature "celebrity appearances" from Angelina Jolie, Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea, Michael Jackson, and, of course, Peter Pan.

Cosby, meanwhile, has never been charged with any crimes in relation to the allegations, though live appearances, a sitcom, and a comedy special have all been canceled or indefinitely postponed in response.

The episode airs Wednesday at 10 p.m.
