10.26.09 DEAR AMERICA, I HATE YOU
Jeff Dunham is probably not a bad person. In the world of comedy, he’s not nearly as bad as dishonest wastes of carbon compounds like Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook. But he’s a ventriloquist, and ventriloquism is stupid, and he’s not even good at his stupid ventriloquism (proof here). Nevertheless…
After breaking Comedy Central’s ratings records with his special last year, ventriloquist Jeff Dunham repeated the feat on the series side. The Thursday debut of “The Jeff Dunham Show” drew 5.3 million viewers, making it the most-watched series premiere in Comedy Central’s history.
The show, mostly panned by critics, also posted all-time records for a Comedy Central series premiere in adults 18-49 (2.6 rating). Including the same-night replays, the premiere of “Jeff Dunham” attracted 7.9 million viewers. It was the top cable series on Thursday night and powered Comedy Central to its highest-rated night of the year. [THR]
This is why we can’t have nice things. Tell me how you feel, girls:



“It was the top cable series on Thursday night”
The terrorists have won. If you find anyone who watched this shit, please punch them in the face.
