"Guess what!"

And now it's time to move on to college and the intellectual years.

(Photo)

I don't even, I don't even know why. You know, the photographer should have just fallen over laughing.

I don't... I looked like Sherlock Holmes with a dummy.

I don't know what that is. So I graduated from college.

I was living in central Texas, and I was still doing my shows, but I knew I was not yet ready to move out to Los Angeles to seek fame and fortune, so I kept doing shows,

as many as I could. But I also had an unusual hobby.

I became a licensed helicopter pilot. But I built and was flying my own full-size, real two-seat helicopter. Now, you would think that someone who was smart enough to build and fly their own helicopter could maybe pick out

a decent pair of shorts.

(Photo)

(laughter)

Thank you. (laughs) All I know is, thank God,

the corn was high enough that nobody on the freeway

could see me. That's all I can say. My daughters have been horrified by these pictures. They decided to help me out. They are Kenna, Ashlyn and Bree. They are 13, 15 and 19 years of age. They're the light of my life.

They decided to help me out with my clothes.

But they decided to dress both me and Peanut,

and here's what they chose.

(Photo)

(laughter)

(cheering and whistling)

Now, as you can tell by these photos, uh, the dummies

have been with me for a very long time. You can also tell I had a very poor fashion sense. I will take most of the blame for that. There is, however, one other person that needs to take some of that blame, and that person is my mother. And I'll prove to you that this is her fault, because she did this Christmas what she does every Christmas and has for decades. My parents are in their 80s now, and every year what my mother does is, she goes to a very nice department store, and she picks out a Christmas present for me and my father. She picks out the nicest shirt that she can find. And she buys two.

Here's what she chose this past year.

(Photo)

(laughter)

You know, I love my parents very much, and they have been married for 56 years now.

(audience cheering)

And they are a perfect example of how a marriage can work. On the other hand, I've recently gone through something that I never thought I'd go through, never considered it, never even thought it a possibility.

I'm recently divorced. I'm a single father now,

but I always try and look for the silver lining

in the dark clouds, and one of the silver linings

about getting divorced is that I got to pick out my own house because someone else has the other house now.

As for my act, there's an old guy, who long before I got married, warned me of the institution. And now I guess he can say, "l told you so." Ladies and gentlemen,

please help me welcome my old friend Walter.

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).
