Ten years after "[[Recap/SouthParkS10E1TheReturnOfChef The Return of Chef]]" aired, Hayes' son [[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/south-park-20-years-history-trey-parker-matt-stone-928212 revealed]] that the decision to quit the show was not in fact his father's, and that Hayes had been blindly following the Church's script after a stroke he'd suffered earlier that year. In response, Parker states that he and Matt "knew there was something way more rotten going on."

* AbsurdlyShortProductionTime: Likely due to the show originating via shorts with very time-consuming paper cutouts, Parker and Stone seem highly motivated to have a swift turnaround on each episode. This is helped by utilizing state-of-the-art digital animation software and otherwise having StylisticSuck designs that don't need much of a rough draft before finalizing it. South Park Studios is also an all-in-one location where rough storyboards are sent to the animators from the first day of the writers room, and they are recording voices by the third day. It started at six to eight weeks (most animated shows are about eight months at best, with multiple episodes in the pipeline at a time), but they gradually whittled it down to under a week if they needed to, which is where the documentary "6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park" explores. More serialized seasons have a different turnaround, as well as the hourlong movies, but the process is generally the same. This shreds the typical issues with ProductionLeadTime, as they can discuss current events within days of it occurring.
