(laughter)

I'm- I'm going to let this photo soak in just for a minute.

(applause)

There is so much wrong here, ladies and gentlemen.

Let's start with the least obvious, and that's my dummy

up in the corner listening to me play the trombone, but...

Now let's talk about fashion, shall we?

(laughter)

How did my mother even let me out of the house?

And this wasn't some accident on a Saturday morning

where I accidentally threw on the wrong clothes.

This was an outfit I wore to school regularly.

I don't know why I didn't get beat up on a regular basis.

I must have gone to the store and said,

"Do you have any pants that don't even go with themselves?"

(laughter)

This next photo, you know, my parents were supportive,

but every once in a while in a child's life the parents must step in and say enough is enough. Apparently my parents did not do this, as is evidenced by this next photo. And by the way, there is-- none of these photos

have been photoshopped. Everything is legit. Everything's real. I promise you. So, that's how sad it is.

But this next photograph. I don't remember

how it happened. All I know is that we went to

the professional portrait studio and this was the family portrait that hung in our living room this big, for years.

(laughter)

(Photo)

(cheering and applause)

(whistling, cheering, applause)

You know maybe... (laughing) And the weird part is my parents had family and friends over for parties a lot.

And this was hanging right there in plain view. No one ever said anything. They must have thought, "Well, the food's good. Let's go to the mentally ill people's house."

All right, so that's- that's high school. High school, and time to pick up chicks.

(laughter)

(Photo)

(wolf whistle)

It was the late '70s. Disco was king. I had my silk shirt, my dummy and my porn mustache. Now this- this next photo I found in a box just recently. You know, and some photos just go without explanation. I don't remember what this was. I don't remember what was going on.

I don't know... I don't know.

(prolonged laughter)

(Photo)

(audience whistling)

Let's examine this, shall we? I'm standing

in my parents' front yard. On the hood of this vehicle is the largest stuffed animal known to man. I don't know how I got it home, I don't know why it was there,

I don't know what the hell it is. Also on the hood of the vehicle is R2-D2.

(laughter)

My dummy is dressed up like a bad Luke Skywalker knockoff... and I'm wearing a frickin Hawaiian shirt.

It's like Tom Selleck jumped out of the closet and went,

Dunham also starred in The Jeff Dunham Show, a series on the network in 2009.His style has been described as "a dressed-down, more digestible version of Don Rickles with multiple personality disorder". Describing his characters, Time magazine said, "All of them are politically incorrect, gratuitously insulting and ill tempered." Dunham has been credited with reviving ventriloquism, and doing more to promote the art form than anyone since Edgar Bergen.Dunham has been called "America's favorite comedian" by Slate.com, and according to the concert industry publication Pollstar, he is the top-grossing standup act in North America, and is among the most successful acts in Europe as well. As of November 2009, he has sold over four million DVDs, an additional $7 million in merchandise sales, and received more than 350 million hits on YouTube as of October 2009 (his introduction of Achmed the Dead Terrorist in Spark of Insanity was ranked as the ninth most watched YouTube video at the time). A Very Special Christmas Special was the most-watched telecast in Comedy Central history, with its DVD selling over 400,000 in its first two weeks. Forbes.com ranked Dunham as the third highest-paid comedian in the United States behind Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock, and reported that he was one of the highest-earning comics from June 2008 to June 2009, earning approximately $30 million during that period. Dunham also does occasional acting roles.
