Despite scoring the most-watched series premiere for Comedy Central, The Jeff Dunham Show won’t be coming back for a second season. His series debuted in October with 5.3 million viewers, dropping to as low as 1.3 million in December. A Comedy Central spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter: “We have no plans to renew the series at this time.” Still, the ventriloquist will be back on the network with another special in fall 2010.

Oh, thank god.
OMG He is the funniest comedian I can’t wait to see him live Feb. 28th
It was never that funny…
you dont know he is funny ok
That kinda sucks but there were a few sketches that were funny and others that were not!!!
Jeff Dunham just might be the funniest person ever born in this country. Ever.
No offense, but you really haven’t seen much of this country then, have you?
hee
I won’t believe he was born here unless you can produce a birth certificate.
go away you flamin’ red stater. my man ‘bama is 2legit 2quit
LOL,He wasn’t born in this country….. he was born in Texas, like I was.
this is one guy whose popularity i really, REALLY don’t get. my folks even love him and I’ve tried to have them explain some tiny clue to his appeal but nothing. they’ll be sad to hear this news
He can be sometimes funny….in short burst. Not for a whole ‘nother season’s worth though.
My kids and I like his specials, but the show was terrible. We watched the first two and gave up.
Us too.. We tried we LOVE Jeff and think he is funny to the point I cry or snort but this show other then the Twlight stink was not funny
^ This. My husband and I think he’s great. In specials. I really wanted to like the half hour show, honest. No offense to Brooke Hogan, but, Peanut, you can do better. You should have, else your show wouldn’t have sucked.
Huge Jeff Dunham fan but the show was not funny, he needs to stick to stand-up specials. His stand-up specials are hilarious, just needs to stay away from skit comedy.
Agreed! I Love his specials.
He’s funny on his specials but the show wasn’t all that great.
His characters are okay in a performance context but expanded to skits they were awful. They crude, rude and ignorant. Stick to what works Jeff.
His stuff isn’t painful to watch, but rarely do I bust out laughing. He’s a talented ventriloquist for sure, but I generally find his humor ho-hum.
I’m sorry but whoever greenlit that show should be shot (figuratively of course). Once and for all, stand up comedy is an art form in and of itself. Those that do it rarely translate into skit or situation comedy. Jeff Dunham is great at stand up and he should stay there.
He’s the Dane Cook of ventriloquists.
I think it’s just too much. Having the characters come out in bits & pieces (LOVE Ahkmed), is great. Too much Peanut is manic and confusing and crazy – not funny.
All I want to know is “Important things” renewed. Demetri is freakin histerical and brainy at the same time!
