Dunham and his fast-talking, irreverent “suitcase posse” became household names with his hour-long Comedy Central special entitled Jeff Dunham – Spark of Insanity.   That is only one of several TV appearances that account for Dunham’s popularity.  He has been seen with both David Letterman and Jay Leno, and guested on Blue Collar TV and The Best Damn Sports Show.  The unpredictable “suitcase posse” includes Achmed, the dead terrorist; the self-described comic genius Peanut; runaway vegetable José Jalapeño on a stick; mild-mannered superhero Melvin; and feisty old codger Walter.
