Jeff worked so hard just to get on the Tonight Show that first time, so being referred to as a "regular(s) on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" probably made him so happy
I watch any Peanut vids whenever I need a pick-me-up, and I never noticed before on this one.... when Peanut hits his head on the mic, the audience groaned in sympathy! THAT'S when you know you have a good ventriloquist who can make their puppets come to life.
UNBELIEVABLE. Sooooooo great. It's STILL sometimes hard for me to understand Jeff Dunham is real - seems impossible for ONE person to have this amount of talent and range. Stunning superhuman talent. Genius yet soooo humble and sweet as a human being - love that. Deep thanks to his parents (he was adopted by them) for buying him that dummy he asked for when he was, as I recall, 8 - wonderful wonderful couple.
Thirty something years later and it's as fresh today as then. Interesting to see how JD uses the same material repeatedly over the many years. Peanut is a classic. The character deserves its own animated show or at least a movie.
I saw him in another video doing this same act roughly. Well the first half anyways. I didn't realize him losing control of the stick and tossing peanut across the stage was intentional until now.
I've seen a lot of Jeff Dunham, but I've never seen the brief case bit. Easily one of his best! Though I understand why the performance has had to change.
I'm guessing, maybe Jeff read Candice Bergen's book, "Knock on Wood" - her father Edgar once told her he saw in vaudeville a ventriloquist who ould do about 5 voices at once, and sometimes Edgar would be putting Charlie McCarthy in a trunk, but Charlie would be complaining and yelling " no, no! Edgar, don't put me in the trunk! " 😊
Those were the classic days when Jeff Dunham had did Peanut,and back then,that character had been quite different than the very same character now,when exactly? Since when, exactly? In 2009? Then there had been 2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016,2017,2018,and finally in the present time,in 2019, now? Compared to the type of character Peanut is now. I had been quite younger back then. And now I think Peanut's more mature now somewhat now. But still funny as hell. Where had Fluffy been too? I had always wondered why times were different back then,but Jeff Dunham hadn't seem to age one bit! That's amazing! Seriously funny. And back then,I had no idea that Jeff Dunham had existed. Never had heard of anything like him. Certainly not in stand-up comedy back then. As it now in 2019. Keep up the good work,Jeff Dunham. We could use a few good laughs these days.
Jeff: Are you alright? Peanut: Man I sees. Jeff: Stars? Peanut: No Elvis. Jeff: Elvis yes. What's he doing? Peanut: I say he's DEAD! LEAVE HIM ALONE! 0:54
