NEW YORK, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Let laughter light up the tree this year! Jeff Dunham and his puppet pals take the stage for an unforgettable evening of holiday-themed ventriloquist comedy. The World Premiere of "Jeff Dunham's Very Special Christmas Special" airs on COMEDY CENTRAL Sunday, November 16 at 9:00 p.m.

There are chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at children's noses and some dude's hand up a puppet's a$$?!? It sounds like Christmas is here for Jeff Dunham and he's bringing his family to meet COMEDY CENTRAL stand-up fans! Sure, no one wants to keep Grandpa company when he's being a grump, so let the ever-sarcastic Walter keep him busy as he rails against a world full of peckerheads. Puppet extraordinaire Melvin the Superhero can use his X-ray vision to see if the turkey is cooked all the way through, but don't ask him to carry it, because he's pretty weak. For those who can't handle their girlfriend's family much longer, don't do anything drastic! Achmed the Suicide Bomber proves there's no light at the end of the tunnel, just Jeff Dunham. His family might be plastic, but that doesn't mean viewers can't celebrate Christmas and the holiday season with them! Don't miss this hilarious, one-man, many-puppet showcase, premiering only on COMEDY CENTRAL.

After the success of "Arguing With Myself" and "Spark of Insanity," his first two one-hour specials on COMEDY CENTRAL, Dunham is back with all-new, laugh-out-loud action! Performing 40 weeks and 250 dates a year in concert venues, comedy clubs and countless private corporate appearances, Jeff Dunham is one of the most sought-after entertainers working today. Dunham has made numerous appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and he was recently nominated "Comedian of the Year" by the Music City News Country Awards.
