A favorite among many, Jeff Dunham is an American Ventriloquist and stand up comedian who has also appeared on numerous shows and is one of the top-grossing stand up acts and is successful in Europe as well. He is known for reviving the art of ventriloquism using several characters he created for his comedy act. He is the third highest paid comedian in the US behind Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock.
Dunham uses several puppets, all of which have a unique personality, often times representing a stereotype. In his acts he uses Peanut (in above pic), Walter the grumpy old Vietnam war veteran, Jose the Jalapeno on a Stick, a Latin Jalapeno... on a stick, Achmed the Dead Terrorist (SILENCE! I KILL YOU!), Bubba J the red neck, Sweet Daddy Dee the P.I.M.P., and Melvin the Super hero guy who makes fun of other heroes (and seems to have x-ray vision).
