Michael Jackson/ Jefferson is a character who appears in the "The Jeffersons", "Dead Celebrities" and "200" episodes. After years of being targeted by the police, Jackson moves to South Park into what is said to be "The Donovans' Old Residence" with his son, Blanket. Michael hopes that he can escape the police's constant attempts at framing him for child molestation. When Blanket makes friends with the Boys, Jackson quickly steals them for himself, in his continued attempts at regaining his lost childhood, often at the neglect of his own son. Jackson is quickly targeted by the South Park Police, upon discovering that a rich black man had moved to town.

His new home in South Park is similar to his Neverland Ranch, as he has various expensive things including a cotton candy machine, arcade games, an amusement park, a train that children can ride, and even a small zoo in his backyard. He seems most fond however of his 'wishing tree' in which he climbs into and sings.

Appearance

Michael Jackson at the end of Dead Celebrities

Michael has white skin and black hair. He wears a white t-shirt and red trousers. He also wears a white glove on his left hand. In the episode "The Jeffersons", he sports a fake moustache (so no one realizes that he is Michael Jackson). Towards the end of the episode, however, Jackson's appearance begins to become mutilated, as his face begins to fall apart and melt, causing him to becoming skeletal and zombie-like. He goes on to wear the red jumpsuit from his music video "Thriller."

At the end of "Dead Celebrities", he is shown wearing the formal outfit he wore during the 1984 Grammy Awards.

Trivia

• Michael Jackson appears in a portrait in the background of Magic Johnson's home in Tonsil Trouble. This is because Magic Johnson worked with Michael Jackson in a music video back in the early 1990s. It is really only visible on a high-definition version of the episode (such as the Blu-ray disc) as the portrait is quite small.
• Michael Jackson is supposedly the father of Kevin, Doctor Mephesto's adopted son, as heard in "Ken and Mephesto".

Death

Michael Jackson died (in real life) during the show's 13th season mid-year break due to cardiac arrest. However, in the episode "Dead Celebrities", he refuses to accept his death, causing himself, and other celebrities who died during season 13 to be trapped in purgatory. Michael Jackson then possessed Ike, so Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny had to help him live his dream of being a little white girl in order to banish his ghost from Ike's body. After Michael Jackson won a beauty pageant, in Ike's body, he accepted his death. He and the other celebrities were able to leave purgatory. Michael Jackson is now in Hell since he was not Mormon. He however, returns for the 200th episode: "200" (you can see him in the background among other celebrities in Tom Cruise's house).
