The Jeff Dunham show
The Jeff Dunham Show was a sketch comedy television
series starring comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, which aired on
the American cable television network Comedy Central. It premiered on October 22, 2009,
and featured Dunham interacting with the characters that he uses in his
ventriloquism act, such as Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Peanut,
Bubba J and José Jalapeño on a Stick and Sweet Daddy Dee. The series'
final episode aired on December 10, 2009.
The show, which has been described as "broader and cleaner" than
Dunham's standup act, combines segments with Dunham and his characters
onstage in front of a live audience with segments where the characters
visit real people and places around Los Angeles. In the pilot episode,
Walter and Jeff visit a licensed psychologist to help them with their
personal conflict, Bubba J visits a real rifle range, Peanut meets pop
singer and reality TV star Brooke
Hogan, and Achmed stars in a stand-up comedy DVD.
