Jeff Dunham is no dummy! He and his infamous characters, Walter [my personal favorite],  Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Peanut, Melvin, Bubba J and José Jalapeño on a Stick have found a home at COMEDY CENTRAL with the new series “The Jeff Dunham Show” debuting on Thursday, October 22 at 9:00 p.m. [Encore presentations of "The Jeff Dunham Show" air Thursdays at 10:30 p.m.] !!!!!!!!

“The Jeff Dunham Show ” is a new half-hour comedy-reality show from Levity Entertainment starring ventriloquist-comedian Jeff Dunham. The series features Dunham and his hilarious cast of characters to perform in front of a live studio audience as well as interact on location with real people.

“The Jeff Dunham Show” builds upon the breakout success of Dunham’s COMEDY CENTRAL stand-up specials, the most recent of which, “Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special “, was the most-watched telecast in COMEDY CENTRAL history with 6.6 million viewers.

The debut episode features Walter and Dunham visiting a licensed psychologist to save their relationship only to learn that he specializes in gay couples, Bubba J drinking beer and shooting guns at a real rifle range and Achmed the Dead Terrorist promoting his own comedy DVD, “I Kill You I Kill Me.” Also in the debut episode, Peanut wants a “hot friggin’ famous” Hollywood girlfriend and asks Jeff’s publicist to fix him up with guest star Brooke Hogan. However, their date goes awry when Peanut gets all choked up over some guacamole and chips. Future episodes include Achmed attempting to become a US citizen by joining the Marines (but cannot do a push-up to save his life), Peanut developing a new energy drink and Walter visiting a local tech shop to learn about the latest technology – only to end up insulting the entire staff.

Launching in early October, The Jeff Dunham Show website will feature deleted and extended scenes from the show, an exclusive webisode series previewing sketches from the show and special downloadable cut-out masks of four of Dunham’s characters. Additionally, fans of the series can play “The Jeff Dunham Show: The Game,” allowing them to set off with his wild cast of characters on an adventure to rebuild each other and make it to the show on time. There will also be a Facebook Personality Quiz, “Which Jeff Dunham Character are You?,” where fans can find out if they’re more of a Peanut or if they’re channeling their inner Walter, and then share the results with their friends.
