Jeff Dunham Was Rejected from "The Tonight Show" How Many Times?! | Howie Mandel Does Stuff #52

[@Pamala-uc2gm]

Two of my favorite comedians in the same room..love it .

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Wonderful, fabulous interview ! I am a stand-up comedian in Chicago, and I am contemplating adding ventriloquism to my venue ! 🥰 Bless u Jeff !

[@Jmatt455]

I remember taping one of Jeff's shows back in the 80s. He had a dummy, and the dummy had a dummy. They held a 3 way conversation, an argument, and Jeff went from voice to voice and back and forth seamlessly. Truly amazing.

[@chriskay1449]

He did that for his first appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Casron". He was actually doing FIVE voices as he was doing Peanut, Peanut's dummy, Jose Jalapeno on a Stick, a worm in the bottle, and his own. It's on the official Johnny Carson KZbin channel.

[@rockinredneck57]

Little Dumbass Jeff is the little dummy. He dresses it exactly like Jeff is dressed that night.

[@ninamartinez5171]

Wow that sounds cool 😎

[@ninamartinez5171]

Ok please tell me were i can find those?

[@christopherchung4920]

That was classic!😂

[@Tannyk1]

Great spending an hour with these three (Howie, Jeff and Walters) geniuses.

[@pookiebear9435]

⁹I absolutel y LOVE Walter!! He is hilarious!! Jeff Dunham is a master craftsman!😅

[@markpirmann2567]

What is wrong with me ? I watched this whole episode and was thoroughly entertained. Didn't know Howie had a podcast . Didn't know Howie had a daughter. Still have no idea who Lou is You guys are all enjoyable. Jeff Dunham is always awesome. Love it ! Good stuff Howie ✅

[@pamelagermany9110]

Great hour. Hope to seeJeffDurham for my birthday or Christmas. He is in Dallas tonight 9-15-24 T American Airlines9500 people sold out tickets. Jeff is so funny and love all his dummies/dolls especially Little Jeff. My favorite.

[@idcowgirl1]

This awesome I love Howie I grew up watching him and he's awesome he's always been one of my favorite people may the Lord take a liking to him and God bless him and his family he is definitely a gift from God

[@tardislover7807]

I remember in middle school in Texas, Jeff came to our school with Peanut. We had a great time even though we acted like it was for babies.❤❤

[@bradcable6]

Hilarious that Walter is literally watching everything and being part of the conversation. He watched the screen when everyone watched the screen lol

[@barneycoffman6663]

As always, Jeff was great with Walter. During the conversations, Jeff kept Walter's head turning as if Walter was really paying attention to the conversation. And that's what makes Jeff so great as what he does.

[@chrissnyder4439]

I wonder if it's even a voluntary thing or if it just happens naturally whenever he has his hand on the controls

[@mlc3stooge1]

Another vent, Willie Tyler, was performing with his dummy Lester and Edgar Bergen was in the audience.. Bergen visited Tyler backstage and told him that if he would let his dummy move its head around during the act it would improve his act.

[@meeofcourse4152]

Absolutely true Jeff's amazing

[@1BB22]

I was introduced to Dunham by my science teacher in 11th grade...1990. She brought in a VHS tape and the whole class watched. It was awesome. Thanks, Ms. BH2O. I've seen Dunham live once. He was amazing.

[@loreewagy]

We saw Jeff in Las Vegas in 2006-7!! He was great and I continue watching him on KZbin!!

[@jamescoakley4319]

Howie must be one of the kindest, most gracious people ever. Never a negative unless it’s constructive, always positive, always speaks with thoughtfulness and kindness.

[@franpalm5793]

JUST WATCHING WALTER SITTING AND HIS HEAD MOVEMENTS AND LOOK IS HILARIOUS. 😂😂❤

[@mdfield1]

What a GREAT SHOW!!!!! THANK YOU Howie, Jackelyn, Jeff, and Lou. I just turned 72 last week, I watch MANY KZbin channels, and this show was probably one of my all-time favorites because I’ve been a BIG Howie Mandel fan for YEARS and because I’ve been following Jeff’s career since he was on with Johnny Carson. I’ve seen every Special and anything I can find on the Internet. Loved Jeff’s KZbin show when he was in his COVID Lockdown. I’m about to watch Some of the Best “All Over the Map”. Thanks again!

Dunno why it was recommended, but glad it was. That was wholesome. Howie and Jay being there for him when he got his star is very touching. Good stuff.

[@lisabagnasco3660]

This is a great interview

[@cl6962]

I love Ahmed and Walter together when Ahmed says he's afraid of Walter and says don't put me back in the suitcase with him and Walter laughs !

[@cl6962]

That's one of my favorites also

Mine too!!

I wonder if the people who are working in the background are aware that those Masks don’t W O R K ! They do, however, cut down the amount of OXYGEN that goes to their BRAIN! Ahhh, maybe that’s a good thing?

[@IN_Willie]

It's Achmed.

[@Gregg825]

Achmed... it's spelt ACHMED 😅...

[@blythewhinery2919]

That was absolutely one of the most funny, entertaining shows I have ever seen! I love Jeff obviously, and had seen you on AGT but didn't know your background or what you did. You are an awesome talk show host and this was so special because you were just talking! Great job! Excellent show. Thank you.

[@robertgendernalik4360]

Wow. First POD cast I have ever watched from start to end. Absoutly the best!!

[@TheBurnsStuff]

I love these types of podcasts. Just a few friends hanging out chatting. It's not all scripted and everyone feels all awkward. Bravo!!

[@Lizzypoohxo]

I ALWAYS thought it was pushy cow too! My mind is blown!!!

[@robcat2075]

Great interview. This is one of the very few web "podcasts" that I've watched all the way through.

[@HeatherRose2023]

It’s amazing how he keeps Walter moving in character at all times. That’s talent!

[@DocSourdough]

Very entertaining! Thank you all!!!

[@Goji-eletienne]

I say this with great appreciation, that picture of Jeff with the first doll, he could only have been two things, a scientist or the amazing ventriloquist we all know and love. I'm glad it worked out for all of us 🤗

[@mildredpierce4506]

OMG! The more I see Jeff’s early material, the more i love him.

[@henkvisscher5765]

I loved this show. The humor is right up my alley, as well as being very entertaining.

Since Walter was involved shouldn't it be selves?

[@sharongagnist6428]

@@charlesbrowning9748 If Achmed was involved!

[@qnwh9353]

Very few people could do that kind of job in the entertainment world. And in this case a ventriloquist? He's simply the best.

[@tltfaas]

I love it when Jeff laughs at something the dummy (him) says!

[@michaeldelorenzo2080]

Howie Mandel and Jeff Dunham are two great comedians.

[@matthewholzinger1042]

I did notice years ago that Jeff Dunham made the dummy have more personality than others. The moving of the head and eyebrows keeps the character in people's attention. It's not just a puppet with a mouth. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 And his car collection is incredible.

[@easye5653]

Howie's Doll just looked like a puppet.......with a mouth. No personality. He looked Dead! 🤣😂

[@measureoncecutthreetimes8677]

So good. Nice to see Jeff when he is just being Jeff. Honestly, that was a great show. The camaraderie between Jeff and Howie was so real, it was just a show about good times we've had. Loved seeing Jackelyn and watching her eyes go wide when she heard about the Batman car and Jeff's 100 car collection. I was just waiting for her to ask to see his cars LOL We have to give props to Walter for just taking it all in, speaking when he had a chance, and being the Elder Statesman that he is. Thank you, Walter, you lifted up the show with your presence.

[@PaganWizard]

WOW!!!!!! Seriously, WOW!!!!!! Jeff is one of my all time favorite comedians, and suddenly he talks about Rush, which IS my absolute all time favorite band.

[@patriciaforreywatts8438]

Enjoy seeing and listening to a couple friends just being yourselves. No one upping, just friends chatting. Great session.

[@kenhurley4441]

Howie, your daughter is the spitting image of you! I've loved your comedy for decades. The two of you really shine!

[@abdulmaaalik]

Really enjoyed the conversation. Importantly, I loved hearing the fact that both Howie and Jeff aren't the all after the show partying type. Over all, loved watching every aspect of the show.

[@grumpyvlogger]

This was fantastic. I really enjoyed seeing both Howie and Jeff at the same time.

[@TheSwiftMagician]

Love this episode. ( Hi Jackie!) Jeff Dunham is a perfect guest, actually two guests in one when Walter came out. Keep up the good work Howie!

[@timcarter1263]

Watching Jeff perform with his characters, I always watch the puppets like they are real. He is unbelievably talented!

[@joeladame6242]

Awesome show Howie and Jacqueline applause to your guests Jeff and Lou. Thank you for the laughs.

Great show, Jeff seems to have a great handle on living a full life.

[@claudebarry3630]

Of

[@larrrs3]

Yes I take away he's a normal guy that happens to be a performer. I mean he opens this podcast as himself and that carries into Walter not the other way around. Great interview I thought.

[@PaulWiley-r8v]

Love Jeff Thanks for that it was great .

[@jamesm28]

I loved hearing how he got his start in the business. And that's the thing, you never know when your miracle is going to happen. Follow your heart, strive to make your dreams a reality, even if it means building something from scratch using unconventional and cheap methods. And I actually laughed at one of Lou's comments/jokes, when he said "times 2". That was a good one Lou!

[@carlwilliams6977]

I'm always envious of people who knew what they wanted to do from an early age. I'm still trying to figure it out! Jeff's a great guy and deserves it!

[@TheBaldr]

I listen to to the audiobook version of his book "All By My Selves" which he does the narration himself, but even in this I learned so much more.

I first saw Jeff on comedy Central and i fell in love then. I wish i could see him in person. I would except from my depression by watching Jeff and Peanut and Walter.

Great show guys. Watching you helps inspire me to be funny with my friends. So much so that my life has completely turned around. Getting a smile and a laugh really is the reward I enjoy most. Thank you.

Im so glad i found this channel. I LOVE, Jeff . I watch Howie for years . I didn't know Howie had a you tube channel.

[@XanBos]

Normally I would probably only sit through a portion of a podcast, just because of the time….but wowie Howie, this was such a great podcast with the one and only Jeff Dunham! So much of the stuff he talked about, I knew, cuz I enjoy watching his channel. But some of the stories I didn’t know about were gems! Made me laugh and smile the whole time! You do a great podcast! Keep it up!

Walter looks like Pres Biden

[@williamdunbar8554]

Great show. I enjoyed the whole thing. You know how I know it was great? The time flew by, and I wanted more. Everything I've ever seen you two do (Jeff & Howie) has been golden.

[@jerrycunningham5421]

I first saw you at 6 Flags, the summer of 1982. Many years later, when I figured out who that amazing college ventriloquist was who gave me a personal show was, I almost couldn't believe it. BTW - Before I figured out who I had heard, I compared EVERY ventriloquist I heard, including you, to that college guy back in 1982.

[@gravytrain416]

GREAT interview! Loved it! I've only seen Jeff live once, in Charlotte, NC several years ago. Great show. Such a talented man.

[@deenegron6328]

Please keep the Howie dummy/puppet on the table, thank you. Killer episode by the way keep em coming.

[@guysabol8743]

That video of dunham at car dealership is priceless. I'd go just to watch him, no baloney, no crud jus fancy talking and two dummies!! wunnderful!

[@DannyCreech]

Howie, you are such an amazing man. I am as old as you so I have been watching you and listening to your voice on many movie for many years. I clicked on this KZbin because Jeff Dunham is a fellow pilot but I just wanted you to know it is great to see you doing this kind of stuff. Thanks brother.

[@Michael_Kerstein]

This is probably one of the very best pod cast I've watched.. most of them have that little awkwardness going on where you can tell they ain't close ....but this was like they was all close friends just talking about a life journey. .. I enjoyed it very much. Honestly I was going to bed and usually fall asleep halfway through what I'm watching but I stayed awake and watched the whole pod cast ... Oh Jeff............you should your version of Graceland and have all your cars on display and some replicas of all the dummies you've had.. Just saying people will pay to tour it and it'll leave a legacy for your family

[@georgearensman6868]

This was a funny show, but the story that Jackie told about her friend was an absolute riot.

[@lawrenceornelas7188]

Great story. I wonder what her friends said when they found Howie was her dad.

[@kathrynlayfield9599]

I just recently found Jeff Dunham on You Tube, you're so much fun! I love Achmed, you do so many great characters, Jeff! I will keep looking for more videos!

[@gerilynne1955]

This is really a great program. Thanks for this.

[@alazymonkey5716]

Lou is great. A real great guy. We all love Lou Okay? Can we all discuss how he completely kills the vibe of the show? or the conversation that is happening? He is endearing; and you can't help but love him, but every single solitary time he talks... it has to be awkward? That's the joke? Worn out, and simply seems like genuinely awkward after so many episodes. I use to chuckle at the awkward silence. The first episode with Rob Dyrdek and the episode with Bill Burr was hilarious because they would effectively make Lou live in the awkward silence of his statements. Any other guest; it doesn't seem to ring the same. All guests just politely; blatantly, ignore and move on from him whenever he talks. It distracts, detracts, and at times completely derails anything happening at the moment. Think Andy Richter; but with zero punchlines. We all love Lou. Some sentences from him are great. Really, really great. But so many of those other sentences... it's 'funny' because it kills the mood and is uncomfortable. Howie's favorite moment of life to live in; I get it, but for the sake of a 'radio show' (podcast) it truly irks me hahah not that it matters! You all keep doing you! I want to make clear, love Lou and even enjoy his standup. As a podcast associate though; by god please have him 'miss' a few episodes and lets see how the vibe goes.

[@KitsuneAdorable]

TBH I only watched for Jeff’s appearance on the pod cast. But after watching one pod cast I understand what you mean, the promotion of his Vegas show within a comment regarding Jeff’s 2015 residency was awkward.

[@cornbredx]

I have heard Jeff Dunham talk about his act for decades now I think. For some reason I have always found it fascinating, and I'm still learning things. I didn't know there was a ventriloquist convention. I still remember seeing Dunham on Johnny Carson in 1990. It was the first time I saw Dunham and it was hilarious. It's crazy... he recalled that appearance just the way I remember it.
