Jeff Dunham
Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist, comedian, and actor who is known for being called "America's favorite comedian", according to Slate. He appeared on numerous TV shows and specials (including streaming ones) and also starred on his own show in 2009. Jeff's characters have included Walter (not the Muppet one), Peanut, Bubba J, Jose Jalapeno, and Achmed the Dead, not to mention many retired ones. Dunham may not have done a single appearance with the Muppets, but he has mentioned Sesame Street several times in his specials. He seemed to be extremely popular among adults with the shows he performed in and how much humor he puts in his acts, whether with ventriloquist dummies or not. People often said interesting facts about him, and he was even credited with reviving ventriloquism and more promotion since Edgar Bergen and his dummies. I wonder if Jeff Dunham ever considered guest appearing on one Muppet project in the future, for lots of ventriloquists have done that like Darci Lynne Farmer. Besides television, he toured the world with his acts and has entertained millions of people. He even got to show off his singing talents as a contestant on the 8th season of The Masked Singer. It appears that Jeff is full of talents that some people don't know about like singing, writing, or producing, the latter two he did in some of his specials. The receptions for Dunham have often been mixed with either positive or negative reviews, depending on the countries that've seen his talents. He's still doing comedy and ventriloquism today as seen in the February 2024 special I'm With Cupid, on Comedy Central. There's nothing in the world that this man wouldn't do to get a laugh from his performances and what-not. Jeff Dunham, even though you never appeared with the Muppets, it's nice to know you've heard of them, or reference them in your acts. Apart from that, you're a wonderful comedian and ventriloquist. Keep up the amazing work in the comedy universe. You're a real star now Jeff. What would the world do without you Dunham!
