The Jeff Dunham Show: Comedy Central Show Cancelled, No Season Two

by Trevor Kimball, December 30, 2009

IMAGEWhile the premiere of The Jeff Dunham Show attracted a record number of viewers for Comedy Central, the show’s not coming back for a second season.

The Jeff Dunham Show is a sketch comedy series that features ventriloquist Dunham and his stable of characters. Segments of Dunham onstage in front of a live audience are combined with footage from around Los Angeles.

The October 2009 debut brought great ratings for the series and Comedy Central. An estimated 5.3 million viewers watched, with a 2.2 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic. Both numbers represented a record for the cable channel. Following multiple airings, the tally of viewers amounted to 7.9 million.

Unfortunately, the audience for the second episode of Jeff Dunham fell by 55% and subsequent installments fell even further. The season (now series) finale hit a low of 1.3 million viewers. To no surprise, Comedy Central has decided to pass on ordering any more.

Though the series received almost universally bad reviews, Comedy Central isn’t giving up on Dunham. They have a multi-platform deal with the comic and will continue to work with him via a live tour, a stand-up special, DVDs, and other products.

What do you think? Are you sorry to see The Jeff Dunham Show end or should it have been cancelled weeks ago?

Jeff Dunham has to be the best ventriloquist that ever stepped on earth but the show wasn’t. I loved the show and would want a second season though but if he would have kept going, he would need to put in double the amount of shows (he did 7), need to have melvin sweet daddy dee and Jose in the show more, maybe even make a new character (I know Diane is new but maybe a man this time), he needs to do something different every time (because a lot of them were at the ringtone place), and even maybe… Read more »

I liked the Jeff Dunham Show, and im surprised it was canceled, then again these dumbasses at comedy central let John Stewart do as he pleases, stupid son of a *****.
I pity Steven Colbert for puting up with that guy.

I think the ratings from the first episode shows how much we love Jeff Dunham. I wish people would stop trying to take his show so seriously. He’s a comedian, don’t you all get it? it was suppose to be something “different” on television. I watched EVERY episode (thank you TiVo!) and enjoyed every one. Seriously. I have NO DOUBT that I would’ve enjoyed more seasons of the show. Did I think it was the best comedy show ever? No. But I didn’t need it to be. It was entertaining enough to keep me away from network television and keep… Read more »

Some of the sketches were too long, and the humor is very low, but my wife and I thought the show was very funny. We’re sorry to see it not return next year. MAN that was a short season! We’ll watch Jeff in the future when ever he’s on.

Horray!!!!!!!! Loved the specials, bought the dvd’s. My family and I thought the series was real bad. I would not watch it. His material went down hill and so did the content, no longer family oriented. Very disappointed in his recent style.

Jeff Dunham is great at his one time shows on Comedy Central but when they gave him a series it just wasn’t the same. We enjoyed his one hour series that came on when it did but to see it every Thursday with various skits wasn’t the same! Keep it the same like he did before.
