Jeff Dunham Show sets ratings records for Comedy Central

Last year ventriloquist Jeff Dunham’s Christmas special set ratings records for Comedy Central. Last night he did it again with the debut of The Jeff Dunham Show which averaged 5.3 million viewers and the most-watched series premiere in Comedy Central’s history.
The show also posted records for a Comedy Central series premiere in adults 18-49 (a 2.6 rating rating, but I’m checking to see whether that’s just a coverage rating, if so, it could drop down to ~2.2 when compared with the overall TV audience).
Another 2.6 million average audience watched the encore of the show to bring the night’s total to 7.9 million.

Jeff Dunham Show sets ratings records.

Koywz: Nietzsche is a dead man. He was not correct. He just wanted to indoctrinate people into his beliefs, which are wrong and against freedom.

Unlike the Gospel which is freedom.

Wow, what a load of moronic crap. Also, this show, along with Jeff Dunham in general, sucks astronomical amounts of ass.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

The second episode will most likely set records as well. For the quickest drop off of viewers.

I thought it was awful and won't watch again. It's not worth the space it takes up on my DVR.

Jon and Kate's season premiere also set a record for TLC, but now nobody watches it.

You know I feel it in my beat. It may feel old to you, but to me it feels new.

I totally agree. I watched the first episode and was all excited about the show. But after the first segment, I was already having doubts, then I watched the rest of the show and my doubts became certainties. This show blows.

I guess times have changed. I mean look at Larry The Cable Guy. Everyone frickin loves him. Love him or hate. Great ratings is good business in my mind.
