Jeff Dunham Inappropriate Contact

A quick glance of Jeff Dunham?s childhood photos reveals the milestones of youth?birthdays, graduations, awkward first dates? very awkward first dates. Nothing unusual ? except for the fact that in almost every photo, he?s joined by a dummy seated on his lap. At the age of 9, Jeff Dunham received a toy ventriloquist dummy for Christmas and started dreaming of characters who could say what nobody else would dare. No wonder the man Slate called ?America?s favorite comedian? and TIME cited as ?a dressed-down, more digestible version of Don Rickles with multiple personality disorder? is able to say the things you-wouldn?t-dare with his cadre of characters who tap into almost every aspect of American life. Whether the cranky old man Walter, who doubled as Wonald Grump and Ben Hiden during the last election, Peanut, the self-explanatory Jose the Jalapeno on a Stick, and more, Dunham allows each to speak their mind, regardless of how much they embarrass their co-star in the process.
