Comedy Central Signs On For Three More Seasons of South Park
Comedy Central has announced a $75 million deal with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the animated hit South Park.

This will carry the series through 2011, marking a decade and a half of those four foully potty-mouthed tikes. Now that the animated cable show has scored such a big payout, which includes a share of digital revenues, questions are being raised.

Stewart’s current contract expires in 2008.
