Texas native Jeff Dunham made his debut on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1990. At the end of his act, he was invited to sit on Johnny Carson’s couch, considered a mark of approval, one that Dunham shares with only four other comedians who have appeared during Carson’s 30-year tenure. He has appeared on The Tonight Show more than any other comedian. On July 18, 2003, Dunham appeared on Comedy Central Presents, his first solo appearance on Comedy Central. During his half hour piece, he showcased an early version of Melvin the Superhero Guy, Peanut, José Jalapeño on a Stick, and Walter. Dunham’s first Comedy Central special, “Jeff Dunham: Arguing With Myself,” was taped in 2006. “Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special” premiered on Comedy Central on November 16, 2008 and became available on DVD and Blu-Ray. The special’s premiere was the highest rated telecast in Comedy Central’s history. In January 2008, Dunham was voted by fans the Top Comic in Comedy Central’s “Stand-Up Showdown.” He is the only person ever to win the “Ventriloquist of the Year” Award twice, was nominated “Comedian of the Year” by the TNN Music City News Country Awards, and has drawn praise from the Dallas Morning News for his technique and timing.
In the past three years, Dunham has released three DVD’s: Very Special Christmas (2008), Spark of Insanity (2007), and Arguing with Myself (2006). In addition to these specials, Dunham also released his first music album, Don’t Come Home for Christmas, on November 4, 2008. It contains original Christmas songs as well as a parody of “Jingle Bells” by Dunham’s character Achmed the Dead Terrorist entitled “Jingle Bombs.” All the songs, with the exception of “Jingle Bombs,” were written and accompanied by Brian Haner, who has joined Dunham’s act as “Guitar Guy.” His first onscreen appearance was in Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special.
