The Jeff Dunham Show

The Jeff Dunham show is a sketch comedy television show which aired on Comedy Central starring ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, star of the comedy special Arguing With Myself. The show combines parts of Jeff’s comedy routine with in-the-field segments where he and one of his many puppet characters interact with real people and outrageousness ensues. His partners include cranky old man Walter, Micronesiasn purple creature Peanut, trailer park redneck Bubba J, and former suicide bomber and current skelaton Achmed the Terrorist. His characters play on racial and cultural stereotypes and make use political incorrectness for laughs. Dunham tones down his usual comedy style for the show, but the barbs still sting and fans of Dunham’s comedy specials will still appreciate the quality of the comedy. The show premiered to very strong ratings, but ratings lagged towards the end of the series and the show was not renewed for a second season. MORE
