Fort Collins will likely get a mention on Comedy Central this week as the channel's famed cartoon "South Park" readies to air the newest episode of its 20th season on Wednesday.

The premise of the episode — titled "Fort Collins" — is that "an entire city in Colorado gets hacked." Characters Gerald and Eric Cartman may also "lose everything when their complete history of internet activity becomes public," according to a description by Comedy Central.

Created by former University of Colorado students Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and set in the real Colorado area of South Park, the show has been known for making other Colorado references. Past episodes have featured Jake Jabs of American Furniture Warehouse, Boulder "hippies" and Casa Bonita.

"Fort Collins" will air 8 p.m. MST on Comedy Central. It is the sixth episode of the show's 20th season.
