What is the first name of the "South Park" mayor?

The story behind the answer

The first name of the “South Park” mayor is Mary.

Mayor McDaniels is Mary McDaniels, the elected mayor of the fictional Colorado town where South Park takes place. She is portrayed as ambitious, image-conscious and frequently more concerned with publicity than with solving the town’s bizarre problems. Her first appearance comes in “Weight Gain 4000,” the show’s second episode.

Mary is one of South Park’s recurring adult characters and often becomes involved when the town faces a political crisis, public controversy or ridiculous civic project. The character’s polished, self-important manner fits the show’s habit of satirizing local government, public relations and political ambition.

Mayor McDaniels has had several voice performers. Mary Kay Bergman voiced her during the show’s early seasons, followed by Eliza Schneider and later April Stewart. That can create a common mix-up: “Mary” is the mayor’s first name, while Mary Kay Bergman is the name of one of the actresses who voiced her. The character’s surname is McDaniels, not Bergman.
