On the heels of yesterday’s announcement by Tyra Banks that she’ll soon be ending her eponymous talk show (And sidenote: When is the other shoe gonna drop on that one? Fishy, fishy) comes yet another brewing TV cancellation that may be somewhat of a surprise. It’s at this point that I’d ask you to direct your attention to the puppet in my right hand, who will break the news to you in between hacky, racist jibes.

RACIST PUPPET (Shall we just call him “Mexican Manuel”? OK, we’ll go with Mexican Manuel): “Hey pendejo! Comedy Central is saying that it has no plans to renew Jeff Dunham’s show! Maybe I took away his job, since I’m an illegal?”

But I don’t understand, Mexican Manuel. I thought Dunham’s show was the highest-rated premiere Comedy Central ever had.

MEXICAN MANUEL: “Eeet was, man! But then it dropped, uh, 55 percent in its second week, and kept falling from there. Now it gets even lower ratings than my cousin Pedro’s Univision **** fights! I’m a Mexican.”

And so forth. Even if Dunham’s cancellation should come to pass, the network still plans to develop other projects with him, including more comedy specials. Still, 2010 is looking awfully bright, isn’t it?

I've often wondered why Jeff Dunham's shtick hasn't gotten him in trouble with the PC crowd. He's a white guy doing not white characters in his act.
Could that be why they cancelled it?

...was the highest-rated new show to appear on Comedy Central, Jeff's audience began to "recede" in succeeding weeks to the point where CC's executives decided that it wasn't worth it to order another season. He'll still continue to appear in other projects for the network, including a special and some other "tie-ins". Whether those will be successful, we shall see. I think CC was expecting another "Dave Chappelle", and was terribly disappointed when that didn't happen....

I don't understand what anyone sees in this moron. I can't stand him at all and my best friend at work just raves about how wonderful and hilarious he is! I caught his Christmas special last year on TV, and I turned it off after 5 minutes. Just horrible!

I can't stand Tyra Banks' show either, so good riddance!
