'South Park' Behind The Scenes From '60 Minutes' Overtime (VIDEO)

Trey Parker and Matt Stone understandably did a lot of talking about their Tony-winning musical "The Book of Mormon" during their interview on "60 Minutes" Sunday night, but this clip from 60 Minutes Overtime gives us the behind-the-scenes look at "South Park" we've been craving since last week.

Steve Kroft joins the staff for an afternoon in the Culver City, California studio where the show gets written and animated each week, and sits in the writing room while an episode is hashed out.

All 216 episodes, which have a six day turnover rate from conception to airing on national television, have been made in a nearly identical process over the show's 15 year run. In fact, the most significant changes have come as a result of technological upgrades. While the first "South Park" episode was made by hand with paper cutouts over a three month period, Parker and Stone can now finish a scene at 2 p.m. and have it fully animated and ready to go by 7 p.m. Computers!

South Park is simply the best TV show anywhere. Love it and Eric Cartman is the best anti hero

South Park is a genius, hilarious show! If America wasn't they way they were then South Park wouldn't exists.

we think that south park is not a good program for everybody because it includes violent language and it must be transmited in another channel

Oh please, as if there is any program that is "good for everybody". And when did this good for everybody standard suddenly appear? I guess I shouldn't expect rational thinking from someone incapable of punctuation and grammar.

You'd be an instant celebrity, but I don't think you're evil enough to draw their ire ...

Stone keep saying he's married. I think it's to Parker. Even if it is not true, they like it that we guess. How wonderfully subversive.

[Jon Whittaker]

No he's married to a black woman and they have a kid. I met them on the street in NYC about a month ago

One of them had his child killed in the Columbine attack, doesn't anyone remember these things ? My Condolences.

There was a goldman sachs commercial at the opening of this video. EXTREMELY shocked to see that here. Keep that up and this sight will lose a loyal reader.

The one I got was from Exxon-Mobile, patting themselves on their backs for getting oil out of the tar sands in Canada, then transporting the gooey sludge across the decrepit roads and bridges in six states to the Gulf of Mexico.

(My words, not theirs.)

I agree with you: Appalling!

Whose sight? Oh, you mean site. Sorry. ;P I agree about the commercial's.

Always make sure you don't mess up your own spelling/grammar when you correct others. Correct yourself and be absolved of this most heinous sin.
