About
Carol is Kenny's mom. Much like her husband, she loves to booze and isn't afraid to have the occasional domestic dispute. She's most commonly seen in her "I'm With Stupid" t-shirt, although more recently has shown that yes, she does indeed have more than one piece of clothing.

Bonus Factoids
- Her shirt has changed a number of times - while I'm with Stupid is standard, she also has a God Bless America T-Shirt with an American flag, a plain lime green T-shirt with no design, and a dark green T-shirt.
- Even though she does not have a big part she's always next to her husband when he gets his one line an episode.
Myths & Legends
- Many fan sites have purported an episode claimed she gave birth to Kenny at sixteen - and with her son Kevin being around thirteen now, that would mean she gave birth around twelve years old; her husband is known to be in his thirties or forties, which would imply a 10-20 year age difference; however, no episode has reliably stated she gave birth to Kenny at sixteen, meaning her true age is unknown.
What's in a Name?
For twenty-one years, Mrs. McCormick was the official name for Kenny's mom, who remained unidentified in the show or even in scripts. Early fansites sometimes called her 'Peggy', while 'Susan' later became a popular fanon nickname.
Since around the show's ninth season, fans dubbed her consistently Carol McCormick; the name Carol was previously applied to Sharon Marsh, Sheila Broflovski and Linda Stotch before their final names were decided. The only potential canon connection to this character is a highly ambiguous statement in "Cripple Fight", in which Randy Marsh, Stuart, and Mr. Grazier discuss their wives and one of their wives, a 'Carol' is said to manage a girl scout troop.
In South Park: The Fractured But Whole, during the night mission to confront Professor Chaos, her name is finally revealed in canon, as she argues with her husband, who angrily proclaims "Give me back the fucking pipe, Carol!"
