Early life

Dunham was born on April xviii, 1962, in Dallas, Texas.^{[9] [10] [eleven]} When he was three months old, he was adopted past real manor appraiser Howard Dunham, and his homemaker wife Joyce, who raised him in a devoutly Presbyterian household^[11] in an affluent Dallas neighborhood, as an merely child.^[12]

He began ventriloquism in 1970 at age viii, when his parents gave him a Mortimer Snerd dummy for Christmas, and an accompanying how-to album.^[10] The adjacent 24-hour interval he checked out a how-to book on ventriloquism from the library,^{[one] [xi]} and explained in 2011 that he still had it, remarking that he was "a thief in the third form". By the fourth grade, Dunham decided he not only wanted to exist a professional ventriloquist, but the best one always.^[eleven] Dunham began practicing for hours in front of a mirror, studying the routines of Edgar Bergen, and the how-to record Jimmy Nelson's Instant Ventriloquism,^[1] finding ventriloquism to be a learned skill, similar to juggling, that anyone with a normal speaking voice can acquire.^[13] Dunham has explained that, equally an merely kid, he enjoyed being alone, likening his solitude to a "warm blanket" with which he could explore his own thoughts and ideas, which prepared him for the confinement of living alone when he later moved to Los Angeles equally a struggling comedian.^[eleven]

When Dunham was in the 6th grade, he began attending the Vent Haven ConVENTion in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, an annual international meeting of ventriloquists that includes competitions, where he met Jimmy Nelson in person. Dunham has missed only one ConVENTion since then, in 1977. The organizers of the ConVENTion somewhen declared Dunham a "retired champion", ineligible from entering any more competitions, as other attendees were too intimidated to compete against him. The Vent Haven Museum devotes a section to Dunham, alongside Señor Wences and Dunham's idol, Edgar Bergen.^[1]

Career

Beginnings

Dunham began performing for audiences equally a teenager,^[x] in various venues such as school, church, and during his chore at 6 Flags. By his center school years, he began to perform for banquets attended by local celebrities such as Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, having adult his fashion of lampooning those he performed for, using the puppets to say things too risque for him to say without them.^[1] Dunham's television debut came in 1976 when the all the same prepubescent performer caught the attention of Dallas reporters like Bill O'Reilly, who interviewed Dunham for a local news story.^[11] Dunham after did commercials for Datsun dealerships in Dallas and Tyler while still in high school.^{[1] [11]} While emceeing a high school talent show, he dealt with a heckler, and won over the residual of the audience.^[11] During this menstruation he became and so associated with his craft that he and i of his dummies "cowrote" a column in the school newspaper, and he would pose with his dummies for yearbooks^[i] as an inexpensive fashion to larn professional photos of his act for promotional purposes.^[14] He was voted Well-nigh Likely to Succeed, and in 1980, subsequently he graduated from loftier school, Dunham gave himself a career goal of obtaining, within ten years, an advent on The Tonight Prove Starring Johnny Carson, which was seen equally the "holy grail" for comedians.^[11]

That yr Dunham began attending Baylor Academy, hoping to graduate with a caste in communications, while performing around campus.^[eleven] He would also fly around the country on weekends,^[1] doing upwards to 100 individual shows a year,^[11] entertaining corporate customers such as General Electric, whose CEO, Jack Welch, he mocked during his routine.^[1] Past his junior twelvemonth in college (1983–84), Dunham was making $70,000 a yr, and as word spread of his deed, he landed featured spots opening for Bob Hope and George Burns, though he still perceived his act as raw, every bit he did non have whatsoever noesis of standup comedy beyond his Bill Cosby albums.^[11]

He caught a interruption in 1985 when he was asked to bring together the Broadway show Sugar Babies with Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller, replacing an outgoing variety human action. For the naive and devoutly-raised Dunham, Broadway was a new world filled with beautiful showgirls and crusty stagehands, and his commencement taste of entertainment manufacture egos came when Rooney chosen Dunham into his dressing room, and told him he was in that location for one reason alone: so that Rooney could change his costumes.^[11] He performed at the Westbury Music Off-white on Long Island. These early experiences, in which he used characters like José Jalapeño on a Stick, taught him the value of modifying his act regionally, as the jalapeño jokes that worked well in Texas were non as well received by audiences in Long Island. Later on graduating from Baylor University in 1986,^[13] he continued honing his human activity in comedy clubs in the Southwest with new characters such as Peanut and José Jalapeño, but struggled confronting the perception he relates from young man comedians that he was not a truthful comedian considering he relied on props.

His experience at Grab a Ascent Star in New York Urban center served equally a bitter confirmation of where ventriloquists stood in the comedic nutrient chain, every bit the emcee at that lodge gave Dunham trivial respect. According to Dunham, later he arrived at the guild in the evening and informed the emcee that he was a ventriloquist, the emcee reacted with derision, telling Dunham that he would be given a belatedly fourth dimension slot, and after that time slot came and passed, kept postponing Dunham's stage fourth dimension until Dunham left the club.^[xi]

By the end of 1988, Dunham felt his career had gone as far as it could go in Texas, and he moved to Los Angeles, California,^{[ten] [eleven]} never having, equally he has commented, "a real job",^[15] much to the concern of his parents, who assumed he would relegate his human action to local venues such every bit church groups. When he first arrived in Los Angeles, the one-act in his act bombed. Dunham attributes this initial reaction to his underdeveloped comedy, explaining that while the characters' personalities were developed at that point, his jokes were not. In add-on to this, the one-act world was non welcoming to ventriloquists, and his manager, Judi Brown-Marmel, did not utilise the word "ventriloquist" when finding bookings for him, choosing to present him as a comedy duo. After Dunham became friends with Mike Lacey, possessor of The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, Lacey gave Dunham a steady slot at the club, where Dunham sharpened his deed by observing the techniques of comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, and taking the communication of colleague Bill Engvall, moving away from his M-rated material toward edgier, more developed themes.^[xi]

The Tonight Show

At the end of 1988, Dunham was told by James McCawley, a talent booker for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, that Dunham would exist given a spot on the coveted program. Though the 26-year-quondam Dunham was elated that his x-year goal was arriving ii years early on, McCawley later cancelled Dunham'southward advent after attending, with Roseanne Barr, a public functioning of Dunham's the day before Dunham's scheduled Tonight Testify taping. McCawley informed Dunham on the day of the scheduled taping that he had been incorrect in his initial assessment of Dunham, whom he at present said was non ready for The This night Show. Dunham continued to tighten his deed in Los Angeles clubs, performing the aforementioned half dozen-infinitesimal segment with Peanut a full of nine times for McCawley over the side by side few months. Finally at the Ice-House in Pasadena in April 1990, after Dunham did the aforementioned segment, McCawley informed Dunham that he would finally get his This evening Bear witness advent. Dunham and Peanut appeared on The This night Show Starring Johnny Carson on April half dozen, 1990, alongside guests Bob Hope and B.B. Rex.^[xi] Post-obit his bit, he was invited to sit on Johnny Carson's couch, a mark of approval on Carson'south show.^[11] Upon sitting downwardly adjacent to Carson'due south desk-bound, Dunham pulled out Walter, who told Carson sidekick Ed McMahon, "Stop sending me all your damn mail service." At the time, Dunham saw his Tonight Show appearance every bit his big break, merely was frustrated at his parents' initial disapproval over Walter's use of the words "hell" and "damn",^[xi] and he would toil in obscurity for some other twelve years, continuing his stand upwardly at venues such as The Improv chain, and appearing in small roles on TV.^[iv] One of these was a 1996 episode of Ellen, in which he appeared with Walter.^[i] Dunham likewise appeared with Walter in a Television receiver commercial for Hertz.^[16] Dunham would announced on The Tonight Show a total of four times, as well equally similar TV venues such as Hot Country Nights, actualization in 1 segment with Reba McEntire. This exposure helped make Dunham a big theater headliner, a rare accomplishment for a ventriloquist, only past the mid-1990s, his television appearances had dwindled, and with them, and so did his stage audiences.^[eleven]

Dunham moved dorsum to clubs, more than 200 appearances a twelvemonth.

Though he was voted Funniest Male Standup at the American Comedy Awards in 1998, his club work kept him away from his wife and daughters between ii and three weeks each month, which put a strain on his matrimony, and made paying bills for his expanded family unit difficult. By 2002, Dunham was hoping to obtain more Tv set work to raise his profile and ease his standup schedule. Such exposure was elusive until a successful appearance on The All-time Damn Sports Testify Menses, where Dunham and Walter made jokes at the expense of co-hosts Tom Arnold, Michael Irvin, John Salley and John Kruk, generating laughter from them, and giving Dunham much-needed exposure. In 2003, Dunham was the frontrunner to supersede Jimmy Kimmel on Fob NFL Dominicus, simply hosts Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw were non amenable to the idea of being upstaged past a puppet, and, as Dunham tells information technology, did not provide a welcoming atmosphere to Dunham, nor permit him to speak much during his appearance.^[11]

Surprised by the loftier ratings of the start Blue Collar Comics concert pic that same yr, the network began to reconsider its make.
