Jeff Dunham is one of the most popular and successful comedians in the history of stand-up, but he's had a lot of help. His puppets — Walter the grumpy retiree, Peanut the hyper purple "woozle," José Jalapeño the sombrero-wearing pepper-on-a-stick, and their friends — do most of the talking, roasting him every chance they get and making hilarious observations about everything from superheroes to current events.
